Disneyland Resort Chief Named to Tourism Panel
Gov. Pete Wilson on Monday appointed Disneyland Resort President Paul Pressler to the California Tourism Commission, a five-member panel of tourism professionals who advise the state on how to market California as a tourist destination.
Pressler, 41, won’t receive a salary for his work with the commission. His appointment won’t require Senate confirmation, according to Wilson spokesman Matt Taggart.
“Disneyland is obviously a significant tourist draw for Anaheim in particular and California in general,” Taggart said. “We expect Mr. Pressler to be a strong voice for tourism and expanded commerce in the state.”
Pressler replaces former Disneyland President Jack Lindquist, who recently resigned.
