Grant Overview
Tennessee's Priority Outcomes for Tourism Promotion Grants
Tennessee is leveraging its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty to attract visitors from across the country and around the world. The Tennessee Department of Tourist Development is a key state agency driving this effort. With its diverse range of attractions, from the Great Smoky Mountains to the vibrant music scene in Nashville, Tennessee is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for tourism. The grants awarded through this program will support organizations and events that promote Tennessee as a tourist destination, with a focus on driving economic growth and development in the state's rural and underserved areas.
Target Outcomes and Metrics
The Tennessee tourism promotion grants aim to achieve several key outcomes, including increased visitor spending, job creation, and economic growth in the state's tourism industry. To measure the success of these grants, the state will track metrics such as the number of visitors to Tennessee, the average length of stay, and the amount spent by visitors. The Tennessee Department of Tourist Development will work closely with grant recipients to ensure that these outcomes are met and that the grants are used effectively. In addition, the state will prioritize grants that support events and organizations that promote the state's unique cultural and natural assets, such as the Tennessee Arts Commission's initiatives to promote arts and culture in the state.
Focus on Rural Development
Tennessee's rural areas, including the frontier counties along the Kentucky border, are a key focus for this grant program. By supporting tourism development in these areas, the state aims to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in communities that have historically been underserved. For example, grants may be awarded to support events and attractions in rural areas, such as the Memphis-based Beale Street Music Festival, which draws visitors from across the country. By investing in these areas, Tennessee can help to create a more diverse and resilient economy. Eligible applicants can find more information on the grant provider's website, where application due dates are also listed. Grants are awarded quarterly, with amounts ranging from $5,000 to $250,000.

Q: How will grant recipients be evaluated on their performance, and what metrics will be used to measure success? A: Grant recipients will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the target outcomes set out in their grant application, including metrics such as visitor spending and job creation. The Tennessee Department of Tourist Development will work closely with grant recipients to ensure that these outcomes are met. Q: Are there any specific requirements or priorities for grants awarded to rural areas in Tennessee? A: Yes, the state is prioritizing grants that support events and organizations in rural areas, with a focus on creating jobs and stimulating economic growth in these communities.
