Consideration and Ratification of Letter of Support: State funding for the Arizona Office of Tourism
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Retroactively approve the letter of support.
Executive Summary:
City staff received a request to voice the City's support for funding for the Arizona Office of Tourism in the FY27 state budget. A recent budget proposal advanced in the Legislature includes the elimination of approximately $8M in General Fund support for the Arizona Office of Tourism. This funding reduction would significantly impact Arizona’s ability to market our state, attract visitors, and support the tourism economy that benefits communities and businesses across all 15 counties. The letter was shared with our state representatives.
