TOURISM MARKETING INCENTIVE PROGRAM REIMBURSEMENT OVERVIEW In 2005, the Kentucky General Assembly enacted a statewide 1% lodging tax on all hotel and motel room charges, with generated funds dedicated to marketing the Kentucky Travel and Tourism industry. The Kentucky Tourism Marketing Incentive Program utilizes the revenues collected to provide local and regional non-profit tourism organizations with financial assistance to promote tourism in their areas. Funding available to industry partners is determined based on a formula to calculate county allotments. The formula factors are economic impact and county population. Once the county allotment is determined, CVBs and Tourist Commissions are eligible to receive up to 70% of the county allotment; applicants other than CVBs and Tourism Commissions are eligible to receive up to 30% of the county allotment. For the 2012 – 2013 fiscal year, the reimbursement percentages have been revised so Kentucky Travel and Tourism Industry applicants receive a higher percentage of marketing fund dollars if they participate in state approved co-ops. Should industry partners decide to advertise with media outlets or in initiatives not part of the state approved co-op program, they can still apply for reimbursement from the state, however, the amount of potential funding match they are eligible to receive is reduced. Following is a breakdown of reimbursement percentages:

Applicant

Regional Committees (as designated by the Kentucky Department of Travel)

CVB or Tourist Commission Other non-profit organizations (attractions, festivals, etc.)

Percentage based on participation in the Official Visitors Guide (Only Premium & Regular Ads)

Percentage based on participation in other state approved co-op programs

Percentage based on programs* selected by applicant outside of state approved co-ops

COOPERATIVE MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES DETAIL •

In order for each of the following co-ops to be implemented, a certain level of industry partner participation is required. Any co-ops that do not receive sufficient partner participation will be canceled.



Partner pricing is gross unless otherwise noted. Must contact rep for confirmation of pricing; KDTT is not responsible for unintentional errors on pricing included in this document.



The following information is an overview of the opportunities available. Partners are encouraged to contact the media reps listed for more information about co-ops of interest.



It is recommended that applicants allocate a percentage of their plan/budgets for use on opportunistic projects that might become available later in the year. The Department has compiled and reviewed all the proposals that were provided to date. If new opportunities are available, we will make them available to everyone as soon as possible.



Once a partner commits to advertising in an approved co-op, he/she can implement additional advertising by extending their campaign within the particular publication (ex: print advertising in additional issues beyond the co-op issue) and the additional advertising is then eligible for maximum level of matching funds reimbursement. Reimbursement is not automatically extended to affiliate programs of that publication. NOTE: If a partner chooses not to participate in a co-op but advertises with one of the following media outlets, it will not be eligible for maximum reimbursement levels. You must participate in the co-op opportunity to potentially receive maximum level funding for additional advertising initiatives with a given media outlet.



Kentucky Unbridled Spirit logo usage – The Kentucky Department of Travel & Tourism will take care of placing the Kentucky Unbridled Spirit (KUS) brand on all approved print and television co-ops; partners will not need to additionally include the KUS logo on these co-ops. HOWEVER, partners must ensure all online or additional advertising opportunities include the Kentucky Unbridled Spirit logo. Failure to include the KUS logo on advertising materials could result in application for reimbursement being denied. Please refer to the “Graphic Standards for Kentucky Unbridled Spirit” located at www.kentuckytourism.com/industry for details on proper brand usage.

TARGET AUDIENCES PROFILES Families Meet Cynthia Wade and her family – husband, Rick; daughters Megan (age 10) and Abby (age 8); and their dog, Tink. Cynthia is 38 years old, with a part-time job (which often becomes almost a fulltime job) with the public schools system. She finds time for fulfilling her personal passion by volunteering at the local riding stables for a few hours on the weekends, but finds herself more often than not acting as taxi driver, chef and housekeeper. Cynthia and Rick have a combined yearly income of $68,000. The Wades used to take a week-long vacation to Florida every year, but the challenging economy and concern over the stability of Rick’s job as a salesman for a construction machinery and supply company, has forced Cynthia to rethink her family’s vacation plans. Because of busy day-to-day routines, Cynthia realizes the importance of spending time away to reconnect as a family. She’s looking for some fun and inexpensive ideas for long weekend adventures close to home. And, if their budget will allow it, she’d love to try and extend one of those long weekends into a week-long vacation. Culinary Travelers Rebecca and Greg Dodge, both 26 years old, are always looking for an excuse to entertain their friends and show off their cooking skills. Rebecca is a lawyer and Greg is a computer software engineer, but they prefer to define themselves more by what they do outside of their work lives. They frequent their local farmers market, but Greg also has an organic vegetable garden of his own, and Rebecca recently signed up for a wine-tasting class at the nearby university. Rebecca is an avid reader and Greg is a music buff, and both enjoy exploring restaurants around town and eat out once or twice a week. Whenever they can find the time, Rebecca and Greg love to travel. They actually prefer to travel by car, as Rebecca has always felt, “the journey is just as fun as the destination.” They enjoy city experiences, as the dining options are usually diverse, however, they also love the thrill of finding that unique out-of-the-way shop, restaurant, winery or even agritourism adventure. Outdoor Enthusiasts Meet Tony Schultz, a 43 year-old graphic designer, husband and father. In his twenties and early thirties, Tony enjoyed both kayaking, mountain biking and backpacking, but in recent years has found a lot more joy in sharing his love of the outdoors with wife Jeanine and their three kids, Karen (age 15), Angie (age 12) and Michael (age 7). The family enjoys hiking, fishing and camping together (although Jeanine prefers overnighting in a lodge or cabin rather than a tent so the family compromises from time to time). The Schultz’s usually take a week long vacation each year, sometimes during spring break, but more often in the summer. With such a large family and a household income of $45,000 a year, value is always on their minds when Jeanine and Tony make their trip plans. While the vacation typically centers on outdoor activities, they enjoy breaking up the trip with what Angie calls more “civilized” activities like shopping and checking out nearby local attractions. Tony also enjoys an annual long weekend getaway with his old college buddies to return to his more rugged outdoor roots.

Arts & Heritage Alison Longfield, age 50, is a happily divorced records retention manager at the corporate office of a popular restaurant chain. She is a season subscriber to the local symphony and often frequents productions at the community theatre, but also enjoys exploring museums and historic attractions. But Ali’s favorite pastime is antiquing. Ali and her best friend, Jenny, travel together 6 or 7 times a year, most often taking day-trips, but also enjoying a long weekend getaway every so often. They love checking out special festivals and cultural events and never miss the opportunity to scour the local antique shops for that hidden gem that might one day land them as a featured guest on Antiques Roadshow. While both Ali and Jenny must keep an eye on their spending (especially in these uncertain times), they do enjoy staying at bed & breakfasts and have also been known to indulge from time-to-time on that must-have antique or luxury spa getaway. Group Travel Ellen Verse is a group travel planner. While her main focus has always been bus tours for a predominantly retiree-aged audience, Ellen realizes it makes good business sense to expand her repertoire to include offerings for student group tours and those looking for family reunion and faithbased group trips. Ellen’s main source of trip ideas comes from attending group travel trade shows, however, she’s also been relying more on trade publications (both in print and online) recently to keep her costs down.
