Tourism Makes Its Voice Heard
One of the pillars of Southeast Tourism Society is to serve as a unified voice on matters of legislation, public policy, and the future of the tourism sector.

Through the leadership of the Board of Directors’ Advocacy Pillar Committee, the aim of STS’s advocacy program is to advance travel and tourism as a driving force for economic growth and job creation, be a vital partner for preserving the culture and history of the Southeast, and showcase the exceptional travel experiences of the region.

The 2019 STS Advocacy Scorecard details the progress made, large and small, on the issues that matter to tourism communities.
