Welcome Partners!

We tremendously value our stakeholders participation in trade shows, sales missions and representation, both domestically as well as internationally, in the countries of Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and China.

Building on the success of our partnerships, we are confident we can work together for great results this year.  The State tourism’s fiscal year begins July 1, 2010, and runs through June 30, 2011.

A team approach produces greater results and is more cost effective for everyone involved.  It’s especially important as competition increases and more destinations present themselves to lure the valuable tourism dollar.

Through our marketing partnerships with the Port of Seattle and Seattle’s Convention and Visitors Bureau, Washington State Tourism is represented in Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and China.  As there are many facets of tourism, our contractors focus on travel trade and public relations / media to bring Washington State and Seattle to the forefront in these overseas countries. 

Working closely with our contracting partners we are able to coordinate trade shows, sales missions and familiarization tours to maximize exposure, while maintaining reasonable fees for participation.

Please review the partnership opportunities available and discover how we can help your tourism business expand to reach the domestic and international marketplace.
