TOPEKA – Kansas Tourism has announced the Tourism Marketing Grant Program recipients for 2022. The Tourism Marketing Grant is an ongoing grant program designed to assist tourism organizations or businesses with new and innovative advertising and marketing projects.

Kansas Tourism will provide a total of $87,708 in Tourism Marketing Grant funding for 15 tourism marketing projects to attract new visitors to Kansas and local communities.
“Getting assistance into the hands of local communities has been a priority for the Department of Commerce,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “It is critical that we support start-up projects that highlight outstanding community assets and bring new visitors to Kansas.”
In total, the 15 grant recipients will invest more than $350,000 in new marketing endeavors that will enhance visitation to the state.
