Collapse ▲Resources for Tourism Organizations, Businesses and Workforce
Below we have aggregated resources from partners keeping up-to-date information about resources and funding options for small businesses and workers in the tourism industry. Please note, we organized resources in specific categories but some of these resources can be used by a variety of businesses and organizations in the declared disaster region. For hospitality employees who commute from outside of the declared disaster region, to work in this declared region, please look at the specific funding. Just because you do not live in the declared disaster county does not exclude you from all of the worker assistance programs.
