Existing law requires the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) to enhance the tourism industry’s economic impact by (1) developing and implementing a strategic statewide marketing plan and (2) providing visitor services. This bill requires DECD to also enhance the economic impact of the arts and culture industries through these means.
By law, the Connecticut Tourism Council is charged with, among other things, reviewing and approving or recommending changes to DECD’s strategic statewide marketing plan (CGS § 10-397c(b)).
