STATE AND LOCAL TOURISM OFFICIALS JOIN TO PROMOTE COAST

Jackson, Mississippi (May 25, 2010) – The Mississippi Development Authority Tourism Division announced today that a steering committee has been established to collaboratively act as a single marketing voice to represent the tourism stakeholders impacted by the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

The working group called The Gulf Coast Tourism Steering Committee (GCTSC) consists of the four tourism entities representing the three Mississippi coastal counties and the Mississippi Development Authority Tourism Division. The GCTSC will maintain a comprehensive marketing strategy to utilize the $15 million provided to the State of Mississippi by BP. The group consists of Beth Carriere, Hancock County Tourism Commission; Ken Montana, Harrison County Tourism Commission; Carla Todd, Jackson County Chamber of Commerce/Tourism; Margaret Miller, Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce/Tourism and Mary Beth Wilkerson, MDA Tourism Division.

“The collaboration of the five partners is a positive approach to assure these funds are maximized for the best possible impact and that there is one resounding collective message that the Mississippi Gulf Coast is ‘Open for Business,’” stated MDA’s Tourism director Mary Beth Wilkerson.
