Branson city leaders are expected to vote next week on whether or not to extend the face mask mandate.
In a special study session Thursday, the Taney County Health Director says the number of new cases has slowed since the ordinance went into effect in late July.
The Chamber of Commerce told the Board of Aldermen that a survey on tourism shows 84-percent of Branson travelers are either more likely or just as likely to come to cities with mask mandates.
Only 16 percent say they’re less likely to visit.
