Benefits


The Haywood County Tourism Development Authority (HCTDA), operating as Visit NC Smokies, stimulates county-wide economic growth and supports local small business by utilizing occupancy tax funds to endorse travel, tourism, and visitor services, sponsor events, and fund tourism-related infrastructure projects.
