                     HONORING THE TOURISM INDUSTRY

                                  _____

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 25, 2017

  Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an industry that is 
recognized nationwide during the first full week of May, but recognized 
locally in my district by the Bay County Chamber of Commerce during the 
entire month of May: travel and tourism.
  If tourism is the body, then our visitors are the blood sustaining 
life. From our award-winning restaurants and warm and welcoming 
hospitality businesses, to our entertainment events featuring world-
renowned artists and the alluring charms of small town life, each and 
every member of the tourism industry is critical to making our 
communities thrive. I commend you for your work and am thankful for 
your contributions to making our communities an incredible place to 
call home.
