There are lots of statistics out there to support tourism, but it seems to be nobody-in-particular's job to pull the numbers together and make a case for enhanced funding of tourism. The Washington State site <a href="http://www.whytourismmatters.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.whytourismmatters.com/</a> does a nice job of this, as well as connecting faces and words of tourism advocates and putting them front and centre. Cudos. Good job Lara.

I was on staff with SCVB during the concept and development of the campaign and so proud it is still going strong. Even more thrilled because I designed the website :). Thanks for writing about it - I hope you might be able to ignite the same campaign in your area. So glad you found the website, Todd!
