The TTIR Program was established to provide one-time reimbursement grants of up to $20,000 for the recovery of Texas businesses in the tourism, travel, and hospitality industries that were negatively impacted due to COVID-19. These one-time grants are to reimburse eligible costs to these qualifying businesses.

The Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office continues to host webinars for each industry category in order to provide specific application information and answer questions on the program and application process.
