The Promotion Board makes recommendations to staff and City Commission as to the tourism promotion of the City of Alamogordo to visitors outside of a 50-mile radius of the city.  One measure of advertising success is the increase of Lodger’s Tax received, FY21 saw an increase in the Lodger’s Tax revenue of 4%.  Lodger’s Tax has been on the rise since 2014, a dip was seen in FY20 and FY21 over FY19 due to the Covid pandemic, but the impact was not as severe as expected.  The budget for FY22 is $276,670 this may increase if we see that the revenue for the Lodger’s Tax is higher than estimated, the estimate was based on past performance and current trends.
