Los Angeles's current tourism budget is $11.3 million, according to the San Fernando Valley Business Journal, which is less than half what San Francisco and San Diego shell out to bring in the Kansans and Koreans. The City Council has just registered its support for a tourism marketing district that would levy a 1.5% assessment on each of the 161 Los Angeles hotels that has more than 50 rooms and increase the tourism budget to about $30 million. The hotel owners have already approved. [SFVBJ]
