A new tourism campaign aims to help rebuild Illinois economy as more of the state s population becomes vaccinated. Advocacy groups say tourism recovery will help Illinois stay competitive nationally and globally after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The multistate Time for Me to Drive campaign is set to launch later this week, as Morning Consult reports 69% of Americans polled say they are comfortable taking a road trip.
State Rep. Lamont Robinson Jr., D-Chicago, said the challenge of the pandemic has taken its toll on Illinois. It has been particularly tough on our small businesses, restaurants, hospitality industry that rely on tourism to facilitate local economic development and growth, said Robinson.

SPRINGFIELD The Illinois House has passed a bill that would allow businesses to offer multi-occupancy restrooms inclusive to all genders, a measure that the bill’s sponsor said was designed to allow caregivers to help those who need assistance.
But a Republican legislator cast the bill sent to the state Senate late Thursday as the first step in requiring special bathrooms to benefit transgender patrons, which he argued would be unsafe for others.
The measure was backed by LGBTQ advocates, but state Rep. Katie Stuart, D-Edwardsville, said she was looking to the many businesses that want to have multi-stall gender neutral bathrooms “either because their patrons or their employees have asked for it. But our laws don’t allow it.”
