DALLAS TOURISM PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT

Empowering Our Community

Our Mission

The Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District is designed to significantly increase the funding available to market and provide incentives to enhance Dallas’ performance as a convention and tourism destination.

The Dallas Economy

Through September 2025, the Dallas TPID has committed more than $57.0 million to events in the City of Dallas, generating $836 million in hotel revenue, for a total economic impact for the City of Dallas of $4.5 billion.


The Hotels

With the Dallas TPID’s ability to partner with local Dallas hotels and offer incentives, we were able to grow future room nights to 2.75 million at the end of 2025.


The Cultural Arts

DTPID has awarded and paid more than $14 million directly to Dallas arts and cultural organizations since 2013. Since the program's inception, DTPID has supported a total of 857 arts and culture initiatives through the Event Marketing Fund, impacting 264 unique organizations and enriching the lives of both visitors and residents alike.

WHY TOURISM MATTERS

Through the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District (DTPID), hotels in Dallas have leveraged the opportunity to fund public improvement through the specific lens of tourism in the city’s first special purpose public improvement district.The result is a multi-billion-dollar impact that illustrates the power Dallas has to come together in a big way.

OUR IMPACT

More than $1 million each year of the DTPID’s funds are awarded each year to support local arts and events happening in Dallas. Organizations, including local arts and cultural groups, have the opportunity to apply for up to $25,000 annually for funding incentives to help enrich Dallas through their events that will generate at least 30 overnight visits to Dallas. Since its inception ten years ago, DTPID will have awarded and paid more than $10 million directly to more than 575 Dallas arts and cultural organizations.

A Jump-start for Big Dallas Events

From the city’s most popular attractions to its favorite local venues, the Dallas TPID helps find something special for all visitors.
