legislators, and staff to gather in recognition of the important partnership 
between the General Assembly and the businesses that serve millions of 
residents and visitors each year; and

Carolina's hospitality industry is a cornerstone of the state's economy, comprising 
more than 11,700 restaurant and lodging establishments and employing over 340,000 
individuals across all regions of the State; and

Whereas, the industry 
generates an annual economic impact of approximately $31 billion dollars and 
supports one in eight jobs statewide, making it one of South Carolina's largest 
and most dynamic economic drivers; and 

Whereas, the members of 
the General Assembly recognize the essential role the hospitality industry 
plays in driving tourism, supporting local communities, creating career 
opportunities, and enhancing the quality of life for all South Carolinians; and 

Whereas, Hospitality 
Day provides a meaningful occasion to celebrate these contributions and to 
express appreciation for the industry's continued investment in the state's 
economic prosperity. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the 
Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the

to the participating restaurants and sponsors of the South Carolina Restaurant 
and Lodging Association's annual Hospitality Day legislative luncheon and
