Leon County (Florida) is handing out grants for tourism and event promotion

The Leon County Division of Tourism began accepting applications for grants that provide financial support to signature, sports, and special events aimed at tourism promotion in the region.

To receive a grant, the proposed event must take place between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023. Candidates will be assessed by the Leon County Tourist Development Council Grant Review Committee. Its members will apply several criteria:

  • event’s capability to interest the public;
  • capability to draw overnight visitors;
  • timing;
  • appealing program;
  • diverse activities within the event;
  • event marketing and promotion beyond the state.

The grant amount will depend on the anticipated number of guests at hotels or rented lodgings in the Leon County.

Florida authorities at various levels are trying to do everything they can to develop the Sunshine State’s tourism industry, already booming.
