Tuesday's election won't include a record number of tourism ballot measures, but it could yield some local victories that will help create more tourism jobs.
As voters head to the polls for the midterm elections Tuesday, some states and cities are asking voters to decide questions on minimum wage increases, marijuana legalization, casino gambling, and other issues that could impact the travel and tourism industries.
Two states have minimum wage increase questions; two states have marijuana legalization questions, and two states have casino gambling expansion questions. Minimum wage increases have big implications for hotel and tourism jobs, while more casinos mean more tourism jobs and marijuana legalization creates a path to a potential pot tourism bonanza.
Other states have previously passed amendments on these issues and Tuesday's results could help fill in the map with more pro-tourism victories.
