Tourism Budget Slashed - Help Save Marketing Funds
Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce announces that the
FY16 budget, released by Governor Baker's office, cut statewide and regional tourism marketing funds by 74% from the amount negotiated by the Legislature last summer.
Would your business survive without spending by visitors? This decrease in funding has enormous consequences on the Chamber's ability to continue to attract visitors to the Commonwealth and to Cape Cod. The next step is for the Governor's budget to be debated by the Legislature, so let's help by sending them a loud, clear and overwhelming message of what this dramatic reduction means to you and your business.
Please take the time today and send a strong message that the legislatures can use to overturn the Governor's reduction!
