VANCOUVER – City of Vancouver lodging tax grant applications for projects or events that increase overnight and day-visit tourism will be available starting today (Aug. 22) and are due at 5 p.m. on Thursday (Aug. 25).
Lodging tax grants are available to nonprofit and tourism organizations with projects, events or activities that increase visits to the city or help increase tourism-related revenues for future events. The grants are funded through a four percent lodging tax on hotel, motel and bed and breakfast stays.
Applications are available on the city’s website at www.cityofvancouver.us/LodgingTaxGrants. $25,000 in grant funds is available in funds remaining to distribute in 2022, and grants must be for a minimum of $5,000 each. Costs incurred prior to the grants being approved by the City Council and the execution of an agreement will not be eligible for reimbursement.
