The new state budget agreed upon by Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers includes $95 million in one-time stimulus to boost California’s tourism economy. The funds will directly support Visit California’s domestic marketing efforts as California communities begin to welcome back visitors from both in and out of state.
