Tourism Grant Program

Tourism Grant And Loan Program

The Tourism Grant Program is funded by the 4% 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.
