About Transylvania County Tourism Development Authority
The TCTDA’s mission is to “generate and enhance tourism opportunities in Transylvania County through strategic promotion coordinated with tourism-related businesses and local government and to contribute to a vibrant, sustainable economy.” Funding for the organization is provided by a 5% occupancy tax on overnight visitors to Transylvania County accommodations.
In addition to advertising and promotion, the TCTDA also focuses on broader elements of tourism in Transylvania County, including sustainability of the area’s natural recreational resources, supporting and enhancing the infrastructure of the destination, and promoting good visitor behavior. Funds are set aside annually for projects and grants to help support these efforts. The TCTDA office is located in downtown Brevard at 175 East Main Street on the second floor.
