 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) BP should fund a $500 million dollar recovery fund focusing exclusively on travel and tourism; (2) the fund should be administered by the Gulf Coast Claims Facility through a transparent process with defined criteria for award; and (3) county or parish and state tourism boards and visitors bureaus in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida should all be eligible for funding based upon a demonstrated decline in travelers since the beginning of the BP oil spill.
