Governor Greg Abbott today congratulated the City of Brownsville on being designated as a Tourism Friendly Texas Certified Community by Travel Texas after completing the multi-step certification process.
The Tourism Friendly Texas Certified Community designation shows Visit Brownsville’s commitment to further develop tourism as an economic growth strategy, boost local job creation, and draw more visitors to their community and to Texas from across the nation and around the world.
“Tourism is critical to both our local and state economies,” said Governor Abbott. “Travelers to and within Texas generate almost $200 billion in annual economic impact and support 1.3 million jobs across the state. I congratulate the City of Brownsville and Visit Brownsville on earning this designation. All Texas communities are encouraged to apply to become a Tourism Friendly Texas Certified Community to further grow local tourism and jobs across our great state.”
“We are honored to receive the Tourism Friendly Texas Certified Community designation from Travel Texas,” said City of Brownsville Mayor John Cowen, Jr. “This recognition resonates with our commitment to creating warm and memorable experiences for those who choose to make Brownsville their vacation spot in South Texas. Visitors to our city can enjoy the launch of Starship rockets at SpaceX to our world-renowned Gladys Porter Zoo and unique Mexican cuisine. And Brownsville remains the gateway to South Padre Island — right on the Gulf.”
“Brownsville’s growing tourism industry is driven by strong collaboration between our local businesses, hospitality partners, and cultural institutions,” said Brownsville City Manager Helen Ramirez. “We are all united by a shared goal of creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. Our Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) plays a vital role in showcasing the rich diversity of attractions that define our city. I congratulate our CVB team for helping us achieve the Tourism Friendly Texas Certified Community designation."

Brownsville...where the sewer meets the sea under the palms...would someone please flush!
Browntown is a joke. Ugly people, ugly city. Nobody comes here for tourism.
Return Brownsville to Mexico! It is stolen land!
Brownsville much like LA and New York is being run to the ground by greedy politicians looking towards power and wealth and away from the needs of its citizens. Term limits may curb the hunger for power and wealth by greedy politicians.
How much taxpayer money was used to buy this "designation"? It's like being
named an "All American City". It comes with a price tag. Any town can get it.
Just cut a check. Tell the truth.
Hey, Abbot remember when you helped kill our tourist industry by telling everyone how dangerous it was down on the border even when your own statistics showed it was safer than any of your interior cities?
Starting with you. Empesando con tigo. Carta de güey purgado.
Who did the Mexicans steal it from before? Liberals don't understand economics or conquests.
