The committee’s duties include special emphasis on international trade, tourism, investment and industrial development, and assisting the legislature in developing a comprehensive and consistent economic development policy. Tourism is also a vital part of the state's economy and an important economic engine for hundreds of communities and businesses throughout the state.
