“Tourism promotes the city of newport and the surrounding community as a tourist destination by providing informational resources to area visitors on where to eat, where to stay, what to do, sights to see, maps, scheduled events, a regularly updated website and social media, and a visitor center, all in an effort to give enjoyment, entertainment, and reasons for visitors to return to the newport area. This program is funded primarily through a grant from the city of newport consisting of room tax receipts designated for reinvestment, and operates under the direction of the city manager and city council in coordination with the destination newport committee to compliment the city's advertising program. The coast contract funded by oregon coast visitors association (ocva) contracts with gncc to use specific funds to promote tourism to out-of- state and international audiences to visit the newport area of oregon. Regional alignment funds are also used to promote tourism to those living beyond oregon, as well as developing in-state tourism products and tourism businesses. Regional resource funds are used for gncc to work with ocva to develop a regional tourism strategy that outlines priority initiatives and reflects potential future activities in such areas as regional branding and marketing, increasing international visitors, improving or expanding product and business development, and improving visitor experiences in the region.”
