Hotel tax funding promotes events that create overnight stays in Wayne County
The Wayne County Tourism Promotion Committee and the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau (PMVB) invite nonprofit organizations and event planners to a free event at The Undercroft at The Settlers Inn in Hawley on January 28, 2026.
The information session and networking event will include a discussion of the 2026 Hotel Tax Disbursement Program and various PMVB initiatives underway within Wayne County and throughout the Pocono Mountains.
The PMVB, in conjunction with the Wayne County Commissioners and the Tourism Promotion Committee, has been providing direct support for various organizations and events to bring overnight visitors to the county.
Representatives of the PMVB will review how events are marketed using digital, radio and print as well as provide guidance on maximizing funding and collaborating to achieve greater return on investment for everyone.
In 2025, 28 awards were given to groups and organizations totaling roughly $150,000.
The event at The Undercroft at the Settlers Inn is scheduled for 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. The presentation will include a breakdown of how to apply for 2026 funding.
Food and refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to Andrew Seder at [email protected] or (570) 253-5970 extension 1301 by January 26, 2026.
