Grant Description: The goal of the ITA U.S. Destination Website Research, Development, Implementation, and Marketing Cooperative Agreement is to identify an organization to receive monies for the purposes of research, development, implementation, and marketing of the premier international travel and tourism consumer website for the United States. The overall objective of the website is to represent the United States as a travel and tourism destination for the purposes of increasing awareness, positive perception, and intent to travel to the United States from five identified markets. The website will increase awareness of the United States as a destination in the global travel and tourism market and reduce hesitance to travel to the country. It will create the impression of a welcoming experience by offering trip/mapping capabilities and suggested itineraries for visitors. ITA encourages proposals from organizations with the capability and resources necessary to effectively research, develop, implement, and market a U.S. travel and tourism website to international target markets. Furthermore, ITA encourages proposals from organizations that can expand the benefit to other industries that directly benefit from increased travel to the United States, such as retail, sports, and entertainment. The amount of Federal funds awarded for this cooperative agreement will be approximately $3,600,000 to be disbursed over a two-year period. It is a requisite that the grantee match at least 25% of the awarded Federal funds. The total of the awarded Federal funds plus the amount of the grantees match will be the project cost. The cost share must be provided by either the applicant or by a third party in the form of cash or in-kind contributions and they must be spent on eligible expenses and are required to be from eligible sources. Applicants must verify and demonstrate in their applications that matching funds are available during the time period of the agreement as the matching funds are required to complete the project.
