Tourism Day on the Hill
Engage Your Legislators
Legislators want to hear directly from their constituents and the industry professionals who live and work in their districts.
We encourage participants to personally invite their legislators to attend Tourism Day on the Hill or stop by during the event. While UTIA coordinates official invitations, floor notices, and general outreach, a direct invitation from a constituent remains one of the most effective ways to engage policymakers.
Engagement tools and templates will be provided ahead of the event.
