These funds will be used to <br />continue in achieving successful marketing and advertising geared towards <br />tourrsm and the overall mission of the RDA. <br />Thousands of people visit Roslyn downtown annually because of its authentic <br />history and historical buildings, unique restaurants, shopping, biking, hiking, and <br />events. The RDA has been a catalyst for Roslyn for 17 years. Each year, the RDA <br />works to expand its outreach to build partnerships and market downtown Roslyn. <br />This application for Lodging Tax funding will assist the RDA in working with other <br />entities to promote downtown through several event projects and the partnership <br />events surrounding them. ln addition, the application will assist with funding a <br />strong year-round marketing campaign for visiting downtown Roslyn and <br />highlighting the work of the Roslyn Downtown Association. <br />Promoting downtown Roslyn as a destination has been a longterm goal, which, <br />through a partnership with the Chamber's tourism office and improvements to the <br />downtown, is being accomplished. The marketing to visit and enjoy downtown on <br />a year-round basis will create value-added advantages for events that occur in the <br />downtown core and business support of local stores and the business owners <br />within it. <br />ln the last year, our marketing has made incredible growth, educating over20,000 <br />users about how to support and travel to Roslyn responsibly, doubling the impact <br />of the year before. We highlight events in upper county, feature business owners, <br />and give guidance on how to be a responsible traveler to this community and <br />surrounding recreational areas. Our print material is distributed in the regional <br />upper county tourism market, and is seen by travelers from across Washington <br />and outside of the state. <br />A few additional, specific projects will include <br />98941 Tourism Brochure <br />Footprint of Yakama Nation in Roslyn Brochure <br />Roslyn's Women-Owned Businesses Brochure <br />A video production of historic Roslyn- "Coalwas King", the Yakama Nation, 4 <br />Distinct Seasons of Recreation and Tourism <br />2500 character limit <br />lf-app-16-03.co.kittitas.wa.us/Forms/form/submission/history/77354l85652?hideHeader=true 4t14
