The Legislative Assembly finds that:\n(1) It is the policy of this state to promote Oregon as a vacation destination and to encourage tourism as a valuable segment of our state’s economy;\n(2) There is a growing need to provide year-round destination resort accommodations to attract visitors and encourage them to stay longer. The establishment of destination resorts will provide jobs for Oregonians and contribute to the state’s economic development;\n(3) It is a difficult and costly process to site and establish destination resorts in rural areas of this state; and\n(4) The siting of destination resort facilities is an issue of statewide concern.
