Tourism Industry Coalition's
2006 Tourism Showcase Reception

In an effort to provide a full day of legislative activity, the Tourism Industry Coalition of New York State (TIC) is holding a Tourism Showcase Reception on Tuesday, March 14, 2006, at The Egg - Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany, NY.

This year's new format will allow constituents and their legislators to conduct meetings during the day, and then reacquaint in a more informal setting during the evening reception.

OBJECTIVE:

The primary industry issue will be the importance of tourism funding — including the Tourism Economic Development Fund Bill and $6 million for matching funds — in New York State.
