Local Initiatives Tourism
Event Funding
We are excited to announce that Discover Siskiyou is officially re-launching the “Local Initiatives” program! This program is a way for local businesses, tourism groups, and collectives to leverage the dollars invested by Siskiyou lodging properties to drive increased overnight visitation to individual communities throughout Siskiyou.
After a year of postponing events due to COVID-19, Discover Siskiyou is investing $110,150 in our local communities through a competitive application process. Discover Siskiyou Local Initiatives will support local events that drive overnight visitation and will now also provide the opportunity for jurisdictions to provide a 1:1 match for these event investments OR an investment in a digital marketing campaign specific to the awarded jurisdiction with branding, artwork, and implementation provided in-kind by Discover Siskiyou.

What We're Working On
Our team's ongoing marketing efforts this week included:
Discover Siskiyou staff attended city council meetings in Yreka, Mount Shasta, Weed, and Dunsmuir to provide updates on our tourism marketing work. We always enjoy getting to fill our elected officials in on our activities on behalf of their economies!
Discover Siskiyou website design refresh: set to launch soon! Our updated site will be easier to navigate and include more packaged itineraries.
