Nevada: Tourism board endorses spending of $13.65M for pandemic recovery

The Nevada Commission on Tourism endorsed plans to use $13.65 million in federal grant funding to boost tourism marketing for an industry devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.

The state was awarded funding from the U.S. Economic Development Administration American Rescue Plan for tourism and outdoor recreation grants.

The meeting was conducted by Vice Chairwoman Cynthia Mun, who paid tribute to Lt. Gov. Kate Marshall, whose resignation as lieutenant governor was effective Friday.

Marshall took a job in the Biden administration as senior adviser to governors. Gov. Steve Sisolak has not determined if or who he would appoint to fill Marshall’s position.

The Nevada Commission on Tourism generates revenue for the state of Nevada by increasing domestic and international tourism. NCOT is the only agency that markets and promotes the entire state of Nevada as a visitor destination and has done so for 29 years.
