C: White Bluffs #13 2018 HM NAHM Marketing Plan see attached Explain how this project meets the above guidelines and criteria for HoteliMotel Tax funding. This event supports the effort to increase tourism not only with the quilters but with their traveling companions. Since most quilters (but not all) are women, their husbands or other companions often travel with them. Attractions to returning to Richland are the golf courses, White Bluffs Quilt Museum, where their quilts can be entered in the National Quilt Index, East Benton County Museum, The Reach, walking trails,and Hanford tours that can inspire a return visit. The project is to let visitors know about these added attractions. Provide a detailed outline of the Marketing Plan for the event to be funded by HotellMotel Tax funds.
