SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls hotels self-impose a charge of two dollars a night, per room for marketing with the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.
Executive Director Teri Schmidt says Mayor Mike Huether is appointing a panel to review how CVB is spending the money.
Schmidt says she and her staff are looking forward to any review so they can share how successful the CVB's sales and marketing efforts have been.
She says CVB anticipates the hotel tax will bring in $1.8 million this year for SVB marketing efforts.
Schmidt says any change in the ordinance would need the hotel’s and city council’s approval.
