In order to help advance San Antonio as a premier U.S. destination, industry and community partners including the City of San Antonio, San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association, Texas Hotel Lodging Association and Visit San Antonio worked together to implement the new Public Improvement District. The establishment of the San Antonio Tourism Public Improvement District (SATPID) offers the local hotel industry an unparalleled opportunity to increase demand for area hotel activity through enhanced funding for marketing and sales to attract more group meetings, conventions, business and transient travel activity.
Tourism Public Improvement Districts provide the only funding mechanism that enables the stakeholder hotels within the area to oversee the expenditure of the funds.
Hotels in San Antonio city limits with 100 rooms or more pay a 1.25% assessment on occupied rooms for the purpose of generating funds to market and promote San Antonio as a convention and tourism destination. To learn more about the SATPID click here.
