Kentucky HB679 establishes a tourism marketing fund and regional committees to promote tourism.
Kentucky HB679 creates a tourism, meeting, and convention marketing fund to support marketing efforts across nine tourism regions. The fund will be managed by the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, with at least 25% of its resources allocated to the regions for marketing activities. The bill also establishes tourism regional committees, each with representatives from local tourist and convention commissions, to collaborate with the cabinet on strategic plans. The fund will receive tax receipts and other contributions, and will not lapse, carrying forward any balance to the next fiscal year.
