Tourism sector business development

We work with City and industry stakeholders to advance a strategy with the following components:

1. Connecting San Francisco tourism businesses to City resources;
2. Supporting legislative and policy developments to advance tourism;
3. Advocating for the development of relevant infrastructure, public realm, and real estate development projects that benefit the tourism and hospitality sector in San Francisco.

OEWD coordinates with the following City Departments that also directly support the tourism and hospitality sector:

• Convention Facilities Department
• San Francisco International Airport
