Understanding the Economic Power of Tourism: A Policy Conversation

Tourism is one of Pennsylvania's most significant economic engines. Join us for a conversation with Sharon S. Myers, President & CEO of Visit Hershey Harrisburg, as she shares how destination marketing drives visitor spending, supports local businesses, and generates revenue that benefits residents across the region and commonwealth.

As chair of the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association's DMO Committee, Sharon brings a statewide perspective on the legislative priorities and funding models shaping tourism policy in Harrisburg, and what it means for businesses and communities across the commonwealth.

This is an important conversation for anyone interested in economic development, hospitality, and the policy decisions that determine how tourism marketing is funded.
