How We're Funded

Visit Escanaba is a membership-based 501c6 nonprofit organization. Our work is funded through a 5% assessment on gross lodging sales from member lodging businesses (e.g. hotels, resorts, motels, etc.). The assessment was established under Michigan Public Act 395 of 1980. Properties with more than 10 units used for the purpose of commercial short-term lodging (less than 30 days) are required to collect the assessment; however, businesses with less than 10 units may voluntarily join.
