Tourism Development Authority
The Tourism Development Authority promotes travel, tourism and conventions; sponsors tourism-related events; and finances tourism-related capital projects. The authority is responsible for administering the proceeds of a 3-percent room occupancy tax. At least two-thirds of the tax’s proceeds must fund travel and tourism promotion, with the rest available for other tourism-related expenditures.
All meetings are open to the public.
For more information, contact Planning and Economic Development Manager Shannan Campbell by email or by phone at 919-296-9477.
The Tourism Development Authority has added a funding mechanism for special projects and partnerships to remain responsive to opportunities to expand tourism and to partner with local nonprofit organizations to promote travel, tourism and conventions; sponsor tourism-related events; and finance tourism-related capital projects. Requests for special projects and partnerships are generally small in scope, are needed only once, and must demonstrate or explain how the project or partnership will expand tourism and increase Hillsborough lodging occupancies.
The Tourism Board has contract with the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough to operate the Hillsborough Visitors Center in the first floor of the Alexander Dickson House at 150 E. King St. The center offers a gift shop, tours, exhibits and gardens.
