You CAN Generate Private Funding • Most CVBs are funded by a tax the visitor pays – the hotel only collects it. • In most cases, the attractions, restaurants, and other businesses get a “free ride.” • A “pay to play” philosophy often separates “the wheat from the chaff.” • You’re already doing most of the work on projects anyway - selling an ad or an advertising opportunity doesn’t create much more.
