Regional Tourism Councils (RTCs)

The state is divided into 13 regions; each is marketed by a Regional Tourism Council (RTC). The RTCs develop regional advertising, public relations, brochures and other marketing initiatives.

The RTCs are nonprofit, membership-based organizations. While MOTT markets the state as a whole, the Regional Tourism Councils focus on their specific areas of the state. The RTCs are an invaluable resource for attractions, accommodations and other tourism businesses.

To help accomplish their marketing initiatives, in FY08, the Regional Tourism Councils have been allocated $9 million through the state grant program.
