Rural Cooperative Marketing Program

AOT’s Rural Cooperative Marketing Program is designed specifically for rural destination marketing organizations (DMOs), regional partnerships, statewide tourism associations and tribal entities to participate in.

Through the Rural Cooperative Marketing Program’s opportunities, participants can drive visitation to Arizona's rural and tribal destinations. The program features a variety of offerings that include research, strategy, content creation/SEO, SEM, integrated marketing campaigns, online, print, outdoor, and AOT publications and trade & media missions.

The campaign runs from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023.

Arizona's rural DMOs, regional partnerships, statewide tourism associations and tribal entities are invited to apply. AOT welcomes regional partnerships between metro DMOs, rural DMOs and Tribes. Qualifying applicants will receive matched rates. Budget allocations are contingent upon AOT's available funding.
