Grants to Georgia nonprofit organizations and agencies in eligible locations to increase tourism in the region. Funding may be used for marketing as well as for the development of activities, experiences, and products for visitors and the community. Eligible applicants are located in Augusta.
The Tourism Grant Program, administered by the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau (ACVB) provides funding to assist with tourism marketing, promotion, tourism product development, attractions, special events, and festivals that will foster local economic impact through tourism ultimately resulting in increased visitation from outside of the Augusta area and higher destination appeal.
The Tourism Grant Committee has voted that 2021 Tourism Grant funds be allocated towards co-op marketing programming and product development projects that support Destination Blueprint recommendations, rather than individual marketing awards. The Committee has also made an exception for co-op marketing funds to be spent 70% out-of-market and 30% in-market to target both locals and travelers passing through the area.
