LTAC Funding
Tourism Boost
The Challenge
The Puyallup Night Market, an event designed to showcase local vendors, food, and culture, had yet to harness the marketing resources necessary to draw in visitors from neighboring cities. The City of Puyallup wanted funding and strategic marketing to increase foot traffic, boost local business revenue, and elevate the city’s tourism profile.
Generous Influencers and the City of Puyallup recognized that to drive tourism and create lasting economic benefits for the community, a comprehensive and targeted marketing strategy was needed. We stepped in to help make this vision a reality.
Unlocking Tourism Growth with LTAC Funding
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) grants provide a powerful opportunity for Pierce County’s cities and communities to fuel tourism, drive economic growth, and maximize local revenue.
These funds, collected from a lodging excise tax paid by qualifying lodging facilities, are strategically allocated to enhance tourism initiatives that generate overnight stays, attract high-potential visitor markets, and amplify proven demand generators.
Why Apply for LTAC Funding?
LTAC grants provide financial backing to tourism-based projects that increase lodging occupancy, support local businesses, and contribute to long-term economic vitality. Whether your city is hosting a marquee event, developing a visitor attraction, or launching a destination marketing campaign, securing this funding can be a game-changer for community-driven tourism.
How to Apply
Pierce County administers LTAC funding for unincorporated areas and 15 smaller municipalities. Applicants must align their proposals with the county’s Tourism Funding Strategic Plan, which prioritizes programs that:
-
Increase overnight stays in local lodging establishments.
-
Capitalize on proven tourism drivers to expand reach and impact.
-
Target key visitor segments with the highest return potential.
Successful applicants craft compelling proposals that demonstrate strong marketing strategies, data-backed tourism projections, and clear ROI potential.
