TOURISM WORKS FOR US: The history of
room tax in Door County…
Why and When…In 2007 the DCTZC was
established. Studies showed that Door
County was losing its market share to other
locations in the state; the only way for Door
County to remain a relevant destination was
to generate money for a broader marketing
campaign. By 2009 all communities were a
part of the DCTZC working together to
promote the region as a single destination.
The Door County economy has benefited
from those efforts with improved national
and regional exposure as a result of the
establishment of room tax in Door County.
