Oregon Tourism Commission

The Oregon Tourism Commission, which does business as Travel Oregon, is a semi-independent agency of the government of Oregon based in the state capital of Salem. The agency is run by a nine-member board appointed by the state's governor, and governs several programs that work to grow the state economy by promoting tourism.

The agency was established in 1995 and became a semi-independent agency in 2003. It is funded by a 1.5% statewide transient lodging tax. Travel Oregon's former executive director's base salary of $365,000 faced scrutiny.
