Regional Cooperative Tourism Program
According to Oregon statutes, the Oregon Tourism Commission (OTC) may invest state dollars in Oregon’s tourism industry regionally, and will appropriate 20% of the state lodging tax revenue for use in cooperative regional marketing and development.
Seven Regional Destination Management Organizations (RDMOs), recognized by Travel Oregon, develop and submit regional plan proposals for use of state dollars for the Regional Cooperative Tourism Program (RCTP). By leveraging state dollars along with private and public resources, the RDMO’s work with Travel Oregon to bolster Oregon’s tourism economy.
The 2019-2021 Strategic Plans for each of the RDMOs were developed in alignment with Travel Oregon’s strategic planning process, RCTP Guidelines and extensive input from regional stakeholders.
