It’s time for the five-year mandated review of Oklahoma’s $4 million tourism account.

The Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation Department has sent out a request for proposals to approximately 25 agencies. Recipients included the 10-year incumbent, Ackerman McQueen of Oklahoma City.

Kathleen Marks, director of the department’s travel and tourism division, said the new contract will run for only four years due to Oklahoma’s upcoming 100-year anniversary of statehood in 2007.

“It’s too risky to be changing agencies six months before a centennial,” Marks said.

The selected shop will be offered a 12-month contract with three optional extension years.
