BATON ROUGE – The Louisiana Office of Tourism announced that the application period is now open for two tourism grant programs for fiscal year 2021. The programs include the Competitive Grant Program, which awards grants of up to $10,000 to help fund marketing initiatives for tourism events; and the Cooperative Marketing Program, which offers grants up to $20,000 to help support Louisiana-based convention and visitors bureaus, tourist commissions and other eligible organizations.
“These tourism grants allow us to promote the entire state and offers our partners an important extra push that can make a difference in a successful tourism event or campaign,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “For every dollar we invest in promoting the state we see a return on that investment of $41. With more than 400 fairs and festivals around the state and countless attractions, I’m proud that the Louisiana Office of Tourism can continue to help our CVBs promote their areas.”
