History
The Office of Tourism promotes tourism within Arizona, which includes planning and developing information campaigns, advertising, exhibitions and promotions for recreational, scenic and historical attractions throughout the state (A.R.S. § 41-2302). It receives funding from three sources:
1) General Fund appropriations;
2) Transfers from the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority consisting of partial allocations of the bed tax and car rental tax in Maricopa County to fund tourism promotion there (A.R.S. § 5-835); and
3) A portion of tribal gaming contributions to fund statewide tourism promotion (A.R.S. § 5-601.02(H)(3)(a)(iv)).
There have been special line item appropriations of state General Fund monies to the Office of Tourism. For example, the FY 2022 General Appropriations Act made the following appropriations:
1) $1 million for marketing, advertising and promoting tourism efforts in Arizona; and
2) $100,000 for marketing and promoting the Arizona wine industry (Laws 2020, Chapter 58, § 86).
