Texas and Utah have released multiple RFPs to handle tourism PR in overseas markets from Europe to Asia.
The Lone Star State is calling for pitches for Japan and South Korea to handle consumer, media, travel trade and other outreach in the region.
Weber Shandwick, which also handles China, is the incumbent.
A one-year contract will carry two option years.
As previously reported, Texas is also currently reviewing its Americas tourism PR. Edelman is defending that business.
Pitches are due Sept. 10 for the Asia business. View the RFP (PDF).
Utah, meanwhile, has released separate RFPs for travel PR covering Germany, Canada, Australia and China. Get It Across Marketing & PR currently handles the Germany market.
