What the Tourism Representative family covers
Tourism Representative covers 3 title codes arranged into 3 levels of responsibility. Its titles are common jurisdiction, meaning the same classification is used at the state level and by local civil service employers alike.
These titles are the state's outward face: press and public information, tourism promotion, economic development, business assistance and the customer service counters at the agencies the public actually deals with. Several of them, particularly the government representative series, are unclassified catch-alls used across many departments for very different jobs, so the title tells you less about the work than usual. Salary comparisons across agencies are correspondingly unreliable for that group.

Where these jobs exist
These are common jurisdiction titles, which is the most flexible position to be in as an applicant: the same classification is used by state departments and by local civil service employers, so an eligible list built in one place still describes work you can do in the other.
