Merchants association. And we need to make sure that a lot of our businesses are part of the sf travel, and they are a member and so that we can begin to promote and push this forward. I have a question, also, what percentage of sf travel, comes from public dollars . inaudible . So just, so that i am clear, the city and county of San Francisco does not fund. We dpo not receive any from the tax, and we do have, the tourism and improvement district, that is similar to a cbd or a bib and so it is assessed on a selfassessment, that is voted on by the hotel community.
