Become a Member of the Central Texas Bluebonnet Travel Council

 

Mission Statement:

To promote a multi county area of Central Texas through a cooperative promotional effort of Chambers of Commerce, Convention & Visitor Bureaus, hotels, restaurants, attractions, and others in the tourism industry.  This effort will allow the members to network ideas, pool resources, and cross sell communities within the region to further develop the tourism industry and increase the flow of tourism dollars to our communities.

 

What is the Central Texas Bluebonnet Travel Council?

The CTBTC was formed in 1992 by a group of representatives in the tourism industry who wanted to better promote the small cities in the central Texas region.  The goal is to allow smaller cities the opportunity to combine efforts for a greater impact.

 

What does the CTBTC do?

The goal of the CTBTC is to provide an inexpensive venue for its members to promote their area through the CTBTC  brochure, travels shows, and monthly meetings.   The CTBTC produces a map brochure that highlights its members’ location and events. Members have the opportunity to have printed information with a photo to further promote their area in the brochure.  The brochure also includes a calendar of events and a list of all members.
