Programs: The washington tourism alliance (wta) was formed in 2011 and is a 501(c)(6) not for profit member association. After the closure of the state-run tourism office, the wta was established by industry stakeholders with the sole mission of sustaining washington state destination tourism marketing for washington state. The wta procures and administers funds for statewide destination tourism marketing activities and creates and implements a strategic statewide destination-marketing plan. The washington tourism alliance hosts several events throughout the year aimed at promoting tourism and membership. These events are open to both members and non members and give an opportunity for the wta to present yearly accomplishments and engage the tourism industry in its future direction.
