67-4710. DECLARATION OF POLICY. Among the industries in the state of Idaho that contribute to the economic welfare of the state is the clean, nonpolluting travel industry. It is in the interest of this industry as well as the people that the abundant natural resources of Idaho be protected, responsibly managed and uniformly distributed. A strong travel and convention industry extends its economic benefits beyond its immediate providers to a wide spectrum of Idaho’s population. Competition from neighboring states, however, has become so intense, that it is necessary that a stronger effort be made to encourage more visitors to come to Idaho. It is the purpose of this act to promote the public health and welfare of the citizens of this state by providing employment of labor, protection, promotion, study, research, analysis and development of Idaho’s travel and convention industry.
