No. 38
(House Joint Resolution 10)

House Joint Resolution requesting the continuation of the Legislative
Council's Committee on Tourism.

Whereas, The Legislative Council has been studying the area of
tourism development for two years and has become convinced of its
economic import and vast potential significance for the State of
Maryland; and

Whereas, There are several regions of the State which could
achieve an enormous benefit from increasing their investments and
activities in the area of tourism and recreation; and

Whereas, The State of Maryland has lagged far behind in the de-
velopment of her tourist industry despite the fact that her neighbor-
ing states are among the leaders in this very competitive field; and

Whereas, There are innumerable current reports which deserve
study and as there will be much more activity within this State as
Maryland progresses; and

Whereas, It is extremely important for the Legislature to be kept
currently informed of the various aspects of the State's growth in the
field of tourism; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Legis-
lative Council is hereby urged and requested to appoint another
Legislative Council Committee on Tourism to continue and expand
the work of its former committees on tourism; and be it further

Resolved, That the new Committee on Tourism is requested to re-
port its findings, conclusions and recommendations to the Legislative
Council by October 1, 1967.

Approved May 4, 1967.
