Created in 2005, the Georgia Tourism Foundation contributes to the state’s economy by encouraging more visitors to the cities and counties of Georgia.

It also helps companies promote themselves in a cost-effective way by providing opportunities to partner with other Georgia tourism destinations in advertising and marketing programs, or in initiatives geared toward education, entrepreneurship and innovation.

The Foundation is attached administratively to the Georgia Department of Economic Development and works collaboratively with the Tourism Division and these public-private partnerships to achieve its marketing goals.
