  • WHAT PARTNERS NEED TO DO:

    1. Designate at least one site in your county to stamp visitors’ passports with a rubber stamp that will be provided to you. This site need not be open 24/7/365, of course, but it should be one that’s generally accessible during the primary hours that travelers tend to come to your community. A visitor center, museum, a state park, a county courthouse — any of these would work. Travelers will have alternative ways to verify their visit if they come to your county outside of open hours for your Designated Passport Site.

    2. Proofread your information in the layout. This needs to be done by someone familiar with current operating heritage tourism sites. MUST PROOFREAD BY 12/20/2017

    3. Place your community’s order for free copies of the passport booklet you would like to distribute during 2018, from 50 to 1,000. We’ll need to know your one designated receiving point, and we’ll either bring or ship copies to you. A community’s central recipient may then share copies with the community’s other sites, to control our delivery charges.  MUST ORDER BY 12/20/2017

    4. Consider providing prizes from your destination. These could be small, imprinted specialty items from your existing stock, a book or booklet about your destination, or an accommodations/attractions package (we will need a few of these for larger prize drawings)

    4. Be ready to start welcoming visitors and stamping passports BY FEBRUARY 1, 2018 and continue throughout 2018 and beyod.

     

    WHAT PARTNERS DON’T NEED TO DO:

    1. You do not need to design an ad; counties’ listing design and details will be consistent, using our 2015–16 52-County Card Deck as the basis for information.

    2. You won’t need to pay a dime — this is our 50th Anniversary Year thank-you for serving the traveling public, promoting your community, raising awareness of heritage tourism and historic preservation, and boosting the economy of Texas.
