Representative Chanz Green (R-Grand View) will chair the Committee on Tourism for the upcoming legislative session.
“I want to thank Speaker [Robin] Vos for entrusting me with this important committee,” he said in a news release. “ Being from northern Wisconsin, I see the impact of tourism every day. This industry not only makes northern Wisconsin prosperous, but the rest of the state.”
According to 2023 economic impact data, the tourism industry generated $25 billion in total economic impact, surpassing the previous record year of $23.7 billion set in 2022.
“From the economic impact, the number of visitors, the jobs it created, and the revenue it generated, I am excited to get to work and keep the tourism industry flourishing in Wisconsin,” he said.
Rep. Green will also continue to serve as vice chair on the State Affairs Committee.
