Federal Guidelines Guidance in the US Treasury FAQs indicates: State and local governments may provide CARES Act funding to DMOs (Destination Marketing Organization) for activities related to COVID-19 response. State or local governments may provide CARES Act funding for things such as "expenses incurred to publicize the resumption of activities and steps taken to ensure a safe experience...due to the public health emergency." In particular, funds used to remarket the recipient's convention facilities and tourism industry may be eligible if they are also used to publicize steps taken to ensure a safe experience and inform visitors about what they can do to travel safely and limit transmission of the coronavirus. However, long-term destination marketing plans that move beyond the current public health emergency may not be eligible. The funds must be used for COVID related expenses incurred between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. By submitting an application and accepting funds you are agreeing to abide by the allowable DMO expenditures as stated in the federal guidelines for Coronavirus Relief Funds.
