Through State Tourism’s strategic partnership with Seattle’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and the Port of Seattle for overseas representation, we are able to solicit and secure airfare from overseas countries, accommodations, meals and attractions.

But FAMs would not be possible based on this partnership alone. Many other contributing partners all over the state participate- Chambers of Commerce, small cities, transportation companies, accommodations, restaurants, wineries, shops, spas, golf courses and regional destination marketing organizations host these tour components and so much more. Partnerships are the key!
