Recently Jaime A. Molera moderated a panel of stellar national and Arizona tourism industry leaders to discuss the importance of tourism promotion.  As Arizona, and the nation, continues to suffer economic stagnation due to Covid-19, no other industry is impacted as negatively as the tourism/travel industry.  The panelist included Roger Dow, Pres./CEO of U.S. Travel Association, Debbie Johnson, Exec. Director of the Arizona Office of Tourism, Steve Moore, Pres./CEO of Visit Phoenix, and noted economist Jim Rounds, Pres. of Rounds Consulting Group.  Kim Sabow, Pres./CEO of the Arizona Lodging and Tourism Association set the context of the discussion and the panels highlighted the significance of why we must continue to press for tourism promotion and fight against debilitating over-regulation at the state and local level.
