Mississippi Tourism Association - Yazoo, MS

In February 1986, an 18-member Governor's Task Force on Tourism was appointed to "assess the strengths and weaknesses of the hospitality industry in the state and return recommendations for improving this vital, but often overlooked industry."

The task force began their work in March 1986 and issued their "Tourism Development Report" in May 1986. The major objective of the report was the establishment of a statewide public/private sector promotional organization…THE MISSISSIPPI TRAVEL PROMOTION ASSOCIATION (MTPA).
