We’re extremely excited to share that VMBA is one of 16 grant recipients to receive 2024’s T-TERM (Transformational Tourism, Events, and Regional Marketing) grants.
As shared by Governor Phil Scott in the State of Vermont T-Term Press Release, “These grants are funding projects that will help revitalize communities across the state. Tourism is an important part of our economy, and our small businesses, restaurants, and shops all benefit from the revenue brought in by visitors coming to Vermont.”
VMBA received a grant for $150,000 to create a statewide visitor guide to mountain biking. Featuring 26-, 48-, and 72- hour itineraries covering 12-16 trail-centered destinations. VMBA is hoping this guide will be an ever-evolving list of resources for lodging, food, gear shops, and more for out-of-state visitors, Vermonters new to riding, and Vermonters who want to experience something new in our brave little state.
Keep your eyes out for the 2025 release of our ride guides in partnership with Press Forward, and thank you to The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing for their support of our work!
