San Diego Tourism Marketing District (SDTMD) Information

The San Diego Tourism Marketing District (SDTMD) is a city-wide Tourism Business Improvement District encompassing all areas within the city limits of the City of San Diego. The SDTMD allows lodging businesses within the City of San Diego to organize their efforts to increase tourism, which in turn increases hotel room night stays. It enables the businesses to work together to achieve results that would not be possible individually. Within the SDTMD, lodging businesses are assessed, and those dollars are used to fund programs and services to increase room night stays, creating a true economic engine in the City and the region as a whole. The SDTMD is focused on programs and services that will deliver incremental new room night sales to its assessed members, including marketing of member businesses, tourist promotion activities, and funding of special events and programs. Working together through the SDTMD, the member lodging businesses continue to create strong, measurable results in bringing more visitors to San Diego. Funded in part by the San Diego Tourism Marketing District Corporation with City of San Diego Tourism Marketing District assessment funds.
