Issuing Entity: Burnet County - Tourism and Hotel Industry of Burnet County Deadline: Friday, September 4, 2009 - 1:00 PM Description: Background The
Burnet County Tourism Program is managed by a Burnet County Tourism
Director. Burnet County passed a Hotel Occupancy Tax of 5% in 2003 and
began requiring collection of the tax, (with a 1% rebate to the
collector), from lodging venues in Burnet County's jurisdiction in
2004. Burnet County's jurisdiction includes lodging venues in
unincorporated areas of the county and all municipalities except the
Cities of Burnet and Marble Falls which collect a separate tax.
A
Request For Proposal (RFP) for consulting services is being issued to
assist the County in evaluating advertising and marketing proposals to
enhance tourism marketing needs. The focus is to maximize opportunities
that will increase overnight stays in Burnet County lodging venues.
Project Location and Overview Burnet
County is located in central Texas along Highway 281, approximately 50
miles northwest of Austin and 75 miles north of San Antonio. The
population for the County is approximately 49,000. Lodging venues in
Burnet County's jurisdiction are located throughout the county, but
primarily on one of five local lakes. A copy (PDF) of Burnet's County's
2009 Comprehensive plan and 2007 Tourism Assessment Report are
available at www.visitburnetcounty.org under "contact us."
