Each year the Travel Federation of Iowa produces a Fast Facts booklet as a resource to the General Assembly of Iowa, Iowa's Executive Branch,
and for all Iowans to understand the significance and positive impact of the tourism industry to Iowa's economy and quality of life. Download your

This State Policy Priorities flier is provided as a resource to share TFI's three main priorities for the 2012 Legislative Session, which is to:
INVEST in tourism marketing with a $5 million appropriation

The following Talking Points are provided to arm you with facts you can use to help advocate for TFI's priorities:
