PORT ANGELES — The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau is seeking applications for qualified tourism project grants, primarily targeted to off-peak season activities within Clallam County.
Applications are due no later than Monday. Download the guidelines, application and recap forms from olympicpeninsula.org/industry.
The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau (OPVB) awards Tourism Enhancement Grants four times annually.
The next round of grants will be considered in the second quarter of 2019.
“These tourism grants are intended to create and support a year-round tourism base to better contribute to a healthy local economy, support local spending, tax generation and local jobs,” said Marsha Massey, executive director of OPVB.
Tourism Enhancement Grants support tourism marketing, collateral production, promotion of area festivals and events, and website development, primarily within Clallam County.
Funds for this grant program are derived from revenue generated by the hotel/motel tax on lodging facilities in unincorporated Clallam County.
Lodging tax revenue is designated for the promotion of tourism to encourage long-term economic growth through tourism-related projects or events that attract overnight guests to the destination.
For more information, call Massey at 360-452-8552.
