About the
CTA Program:
What are
visitors saying about your destination experience? Are you
committed to your visitors?
Surveyed
Meeting Planners have stated they would
choose a CTA city over a non-CTA city (all things being equal).
That's why CTA Destinations are gaining a competitive edge.
There are a
myriad of ways to help fund the development and
ongoing administration of a CTA program for your city or region.
Here are some Grant success stories!
- Kansas City CVA solicited and received a corporate
grant from a locally-based corporation that saw the CTA program as a way to help
recruit and retain top talent.
- The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Heritage Area
CTA program received a $150,000 grant from the National Park Service; the Visit Baltimore received a heritage grant from
the City of Baltimore.
- The Dallas/Fort Worth Area Tourism Council received
grants from the DFW Airport, the local hotel & lodging association, and the
North Texas Council of Governments.
- And
more!
