TOURISM WORKS FOR US: How is the room tax money used?
The total tax collected is divided three ways:
66% is directed to the contracted entity to use for marketing Door County
and increasing overnight stays.
30% goes back to the municipalities in which it was collected for any use
deemed necessary by that community's governmental body.
4% is retained by the DCTZC to cover administrative costs of the tax
collection and enforcement.
Accolades for Door County
Door County is recognized on a regular basis by organizations and media
outlets as a wonderful place to live and visit. Making best-of-lists for
vacation and getaway destinations as well as attractions that include fall
colors, fishing, and our small town vibe. As with any consumer product or
service, destinations must be marketed in order to obtain awareness and
consideration within the mindset of potential visitors. In order to compete
we have to offer more, the vacation traveler needs to know what they can
do once they arrive. Destination Marketing is essential to attracting visitors
and protecting Door County's Tourism Economy.
We can tell you room tax is doing its job, but the numbers do a better job of
reflecting the economics of tourism that are impacted by room tax funding.
