The Park City Chamber/Bureau, National Ability Center, Kimball Art Center and Arts Council of Park City & Summit County were awarded a combined $457,410 in marketing grants from the Utah Office of Tourism. The state program is designed to help organizations attract visitors and bolster a community’s tourism economy through events such as the Kimball Arts Festival that was held in Park City earlier this month.
The National Ability Center also was awarded $105,410 in cooperative marketing grants. The organization’s grant application highlighted the importance of providing accessible, barrier-free tourism for a large consumer market that has remained relatively untapped.
The grant money will help promote adaptive recreation programs and future events. It will also fund a podcast that will feature adaptive athletes and participants and expand its ambassador program, a small team of people who identify as having a disability, dedicated to promoting accessible recreation in the state.
