The Honorable First Name/Last Name
U.S House of Representatives
Washington, DC  20515

Dear Representative Last Name:

Tourism is a $xx million industry in our state and an essential tool for economic growth and community development.  Recognizing that you have a large portfolio of issues to consider each year, I would like to encourage you to join the Congressional Travel & Tourism Caucus, which is an excellent information resource for staying abreast of the key issues impacting the tourism industry in the 111th Congress.  The Caucus is lead by Representatives Sam Farr (D-Calif.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).

The mission of the bipartisan Caucus is to serve as a forum for the development and collaboration of national policy to promotes domestic and international travel for leisure, business, educational and medical purposes.  Joining the Caucus would be a postive statement that you recognize the importance of tourism to the economic vitality of your district and are working in bipartisan manner to advance policies that ensure the health and growth of the state's tourism industry.

I look forward to providing you my input and insights as legislation important to tourism comes before the House for consideration.  

Sincerely,
