LTPA keeps abreast of legislative opportunities and national trends that affect the tourism industry and its members. We work within our industry to set up mentoring and networking opportunities that advance the credibility of our profession.

LTPA has started tracking bills through LegisCon that pertain to our tourism efforts. Weekly emails will be sent out on Tuesday to all LTPA Members, giving you an update on state legislative issues. Even though LTPA will not specifically be tracking federal legislation, we will include federal items of interest to our industry as we hear about them. All items that need immediate attention will be sent as Hot Alerts Please click here to view the legislative updates page.
