Funding for Regional Cooperation

The funding for regional cooperation in Styria enables non-profit organizations, companies, as well as interest groups and associations to implement innovative tourism offer and marketing measures. In particular, multi-municipal tourism associations, the Styrian Tourism and Location Marketing GmbH, as well as professionally and economically suitable project sponsors and organizers can benefit from this continuously announced grant. Projects and events are funded that contribute regionally and supra-regionally to the profiling of the tourism region of Styria. The focus is on both the development of new offers and the optimization of existing ones, the targeted promotion of attractive destinations, and the organization of events with high impact.

To apply, a fully completed and justified application is required, which must be positively assessed by the responsible tourism department. Important components of the funding application, in addition to the detailed project description, include a precise cost breakdown and a realistic financing plan, as well as proof of all other requested or granted funding. The continuously open deadline allows for flexible submission without time restrictions. The evaluation primarily considers the professional and economic suitability of the applicants as well as the anticipated contribution to strengthening regional cooperation in the tourism sector. The grant is provided as a direct subsidy and helps to sustainably promote the Styrian tourism industry and make cross-border cooperation visible.
