Link Your Business with Henry County Tourism Bureau
The Henry County Tourism Bureau is designed to increase the level of tourism in Henry County and serves as the leader of local tourism development efforts. We are a non-profit organization funded through Hotel Occupancy Tax collected by Henry County. With the competition for tourists and the dollars they spend growing more intense, additional funding is required to cover the cost of our various marketing and development activities. Without adequate promotion, meetings and convention planners, tour bus organizers and other tourists would not know what this area has to offer and would choose other destinations for their visits.
As a member of the HCTB, we make every effort and explore every opportunity to increase our members’ businesses. The Bureau welcomes suggestions or assistance from its members in making these or other methods more appropriate and effective.
Tourism meetings are held on the second Monday of every month at the various locations throughout the county at 6 p.m. If interested in attending call (309) 761-8473.
