Hotel business promoters will have 19.5 million dollars to spend.

An additional 1.6 million dollars was added to the district's account. A million came in this year through February. Another 0.6 million was approved for the 2012 collections.
The money paid at hotel counters was upgraded at year by the hotel visitors who stayed at hotels in the city for the wine and food festival, the California State Games, and the crew classic. The Rock & Roll Marathon made big revenues.
