About The Grant
The Tourism Attraction Grant Program, initiated by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, aims to support the revitalization of the tourism sector in Illinois. This grant plays a crucial role in helping tourism attractions enhance their services and infrastructure, ultimately contributing to the economic recovery of the tourism industry. By inviting applications from various entities, including local governments and businesses, the program seeks to create more inviting and engaging experiences for visitors.
This program covers a broad range of tourism attractions, including parks, historical sites, museums, and recreational areas. Grantees are expected to match the grant funds and demonstrate measurable outcomes related to their capital investments—such as increased visitation and local tax revenue, which are essential for tracking the program’s success and impact on the Illinois tourism landscape.
