Funding

Our primary funding comes from bed-tax revenue collected by Scottsdale resorts and hotels and passed along to the City of Scottsdale. Half of the City’s bed tax is allocated to Experience Scottsdale for destination marketing initiatives. The remaining bed-tax revenue is used for tourism-related capital projects, special events and more by the City of Scottsdale. The City’s contract with Experience Scottsdale is overseen by the City’s Tourism & Events Department and the Tourism Development Commission.

We also serve as the Town of Paradise Valley’s destination marketing organization and receive bed-tax revenue via our contract with the Town.

Another public funding source is the State of Arizona, via Proposition 302, in which Maricopa County hotel operators and rental car companies collect and pass along an additional tax to the state that is then split and invested into numerous projects.

As a membership-based organization with more than 400 members, we also receive some private-sector revenue via membership dues and through program participation fees.
