Visit Corpus Christi launches new initiative to enhance experience tourists

Friday, August 11, 2023

A new program has been unveiled by Visit Corpus Christi in the hopes that it would improve the impression tourists have of the Texan city.

The Corpus Christi Tourism Grant was established to support establishments that serve tourists. All they need to do is show how what they do provides a distinctive, engaging visitor experience.

CEO of Visit Corpus Christi Brett Oetting is paying up to $5,000 to each qualified group, with newer firms receiving preference.

“Having this may help somebody that has a great idea. It may motivate them to actually put it on paper, to go talk to the city about what it takes to get all of the necessary permits, and then that little $5,000 might be enough to make it a reality,” he said.

This is a matching grant, so everyone who wants the money must contribute an equal amount of their own money.
