Mission Statement
Destination Augusta develops and promotes our community, inspiring people to have unforgettable experiences.
Vision Statement
Augusta is a thriving community rich with experiences that attract people.
Funding
Primary funding is derived from a portion of the local 6% lodging tax. Destination Augusta receives 33% of the hotel tax, which is designated for marketing and promotions. Destination Augusta administers a tourism grant with additional hotel tax restricted for that purpose.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement
In a destination that is an extraordinary mosaic of cultures, Destination Augusta recognizes and advocates the importance of creating an environment where all people feel welcome and included. We will always uphold the fundamental beliefs of respect, equity, inclusion, collaboration, creative freedom, and hospitality to all.
As a destination marketing organization that embraces visitors from across the globe, we believe in equal and fair treatment for everyone, regardless of ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, political viewpoint, socioeconomic background, or religious belief.
From old to young, black to white, artsy to techy, the fabric of our community is wonderfully designed. We take great pride in knowing that our destination creates choice and instills confidence in all people, empowering them to seek and share new experiences, while making this an ideal place to live, work and visit.
