Ethanol gas voucher for tourists

Dakota Midday - 05/04/2006

South Dakota is looking to boost visitors—and their spending—in what looks to be a summer of high gas prices. The state has teamed with several sponsors to offer 20-dollar vouchers good for ethanol-blend fuel in the state, and the promotion is working a little too well . . . seven thousand more requests have been made than vouchers available to give them. We’ll talk about the program, and look at the tourism forecast for the state today on Forum. Our guest is Billie Jo Waara, director of the state office of Tourism and Economic Development.
