Kansas urged to boost marketing for tourism and growth
Lawmakers were urged by the Kansas Tourism Initiative and Kansas Inc. to expand state promotion to attract visitors and business investment. They cited 2005 spending of 1.7 million on a statewide campaign and called for more funding and a semi independent public private tourism entity to mirror bioscience efforts. They argued Kansas trails peers like Missouri and Arkansas in marketing spend, and that business outreach remains largely silent.
