November 20, 2025

CUMBERLAND VALLEY, PA (November 20, 2025) – 

The Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation (CAEDC) through the Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau is excited to announce a Tourism Impact Sponsorship program for 2026.

Building on the momentum of the recently launched 2026 Tourism Grant programs, CAEDC is unveiling a new Tourism Impact Sponsorship to invest in tourism partners by reimbursing the registration fee for trade shows, sales events and training sessions.

Eligible applicants can apply for up to $2,500 in event registration reimbursement, with a maximum of $5,000 being reimbursed to any one organization in a calendar year. This support is designed to open doors and remove barriers so that partners can participate in the events that matter most.

Applicants should review the full program guidelines that include details on eligibility, requirements and the reimbursement process. Forms should be submitted at least one month prior to the event you wish to attend.

“The Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau’s goal is to strategically invest in partners that drive visitation and strengthen the reputation of Cumberland Valley. The Tourism Impact Sponsorship ensures that our partners have access to tools, training, and opportunities they need to grow” said CAEDC Director of Tourism and Marketing, Laura Delaney.
