Rural Marketing Grants

Rural Marketing Grants help Nevada communities market their destination to potential visitors around the world in an effort to generate overnight stays. Travel Nevada awards $1.4 million each year to rural partners for a variety of marketing projects including paid advertising, promotion of signature events, travel trade and consumer shows, tourism community assessments and production of video and image assets. Non-profits and local tourism entities are eligible to apply for funding in this program.
