City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Lancaster, Pennsylvania has issued an RFP for agencies specializing in tourism marketing.

Established in 1742, Lancaster is one of the oldest inland cities in the United States. The South Central Pennsylvania city, which counts a population of 60,000, served for a day as the temporary U.S. capital During the American Revolution.

Scope of the work includes: assessing the existing state of Lancaster’s tourism (identifying its specific strengths, weaknesses and challenges); identifying opportunities and strategic approaches for destination development and growth; developing an implementation strategy and timeline; and reporting and participating in meetings with the Lancaster Office of Promotion as needed.
