Tourism efforts in Effingham County could get a boost, if county commissioners and Rincon City Council members enact a proposal from the Effingham Chamber of Commerce. Chamber Executive Director Rick Lott has asked the county commission to adopt a hotel-motel tax, and he is scheduled to make the same request of Rincon City Council. The 5 percent hotel-motel tax would be levied to guests staying at hotels and motels in the county and the city, and the proceeds would be used to promote and market the county’s budding tourism initiatives.
