York County Tourism Grant Program - Fueling York County's Tourism Industry
The York County Tourism Grant Program supports initiatives aimed at boosting York County's billion-dollar tourism industry. This program provides funding for projects and events designed to attract visitors from outside a 50-mile radius promoting economic growth through increased overnight hotel stays.

The program reopens on June 1, visit YorkPA.org/grants for more information and to schedule a consultation.
Discover Hanover®, the Chamber's tourism and community brand, received generous funding from the York County Tourism Grant Program in 2024. This enabled Discover Hanover® to undergo a complete rebrand and launch a new website, enhancing its appeal to visitors and promoting Hanover as a premier destination in York County.
The new website was unveiled at the Explore York membership mixer on May 23. The Chamber is excited to embark on this new chapter for Discover Hanover® and to witness what benefits the brand will bring to Hanover and York County.
