City statement on VisitDallas Audit

Dallas benefits greatly from its tourism industry which brings millions of people to visit and enjoy our city as well as sustains jobs for thousands of workers.

The City of Dallas is fully committed to improving its monitoring and oversight of its contract with VisitDallas and increase assurances that valuable hotel and other tax revenues are being wisely invested in our economy. We are working with VisitDallas to address the many important issues raised in the audit and began that process today with an initial meeting. We will update the City Council committee next month.
