Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland today announced that $117,408 has been awarded to support 18 new tourism marketing projects across Kansas. These grants will help communities expand their marketing efforts, reach new audiences, and inspire more visitors to explore the Sunflower State. “Tourism creates jobs, supports local businesses, and strengthens communities,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “In 2025 alone, tourism activity generated $8.4 billion in visitor spending across the state, and investments in tourism marketing help communities build on that economic impact by attracting new visitors and showcasing everything Kansas has to offer.” In total, the 18 grant recipients will invest almost $244,000 in matching funds towards approved marketing projects, leveraging the grant funding to expand their promotional reach.
