Some great discussions in this panel about tourism, the economy and its impact on Indiana's budgets, and how tourism is such a vital part of Indiana's tax revenue. Very few departments in our state budget can tout that they bring more tax revenue IN than OUT. Also interesting to note how small our budget already is compared to some other states not known for tourism.
