Tourism Grant Program

Tourism Grant And Loan Program

The Tourism Grant Program is funded by the 4 percent Lodging Facility Use Tax; commonly known as the “Bed Tax.” Enacted by the 1987 Legislature, the Bed Tax is collected from guests of hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, guest ranches, resorts, short-term vacation rentals and campgrounds.
