Due to the high volume of questions regarding the Clinton Administration's requested budget increase of $4.5 million for a Cultural Heritage Community Development Export Initiative (The Initiative) for Fiscal Year 2001, the Tourism Industries office has prepared a Question and Answer (Q&A) document to inform and educate businesses, communities, and policy makers about the proposal. You may link directly to this page on TInet:
http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/das/qanda.html

Each of the Q&A's are based on a proposed structure for The Initiative which has been developed through feed-back from communities, state tourism offices, city convention and visitor bureaus, and local tourism businesses. The Q&A addresses both parts of The Initiative: Community Development and Data Enhancements for Improved International Visitor Research and Accountability.

During the course of the year, leading to October, 2000 (the start of fiscal year 2001), Tourism Industries wants to ensure the proposed Initiative is structured to meet the needs of businesses and communities across America. Please review these Questions & Answers and send your comments prior to September 1, 2000, in writing, to: Ms. Linda Harbaugh, Policy Analyst, Tourism Industries, Room 2073, United States Department of Commerce, Washington, DC, 20230 or e-mail her at linda_harbaugh@ita.doc.gov.
