FUND PURPOSE AND GOALS
Culture & Tourism promotes increased economic activity through visitor spending generated by events held at the
Fort Worth Convention Center and Will Rogers Memorial Center.
On November 18, 1997, the City Council increased the Hotel Occupancy Tax Rate to 9%. 2% of the tax collected
is to be used only for the construction and expansion of an existing convention center facility or for pledging
payment of revenue or revenue refunding bonds issued in accordance with state law for the construction of the
expansion.
The Culture and Tourism 2% Tax Fund was created in FY2016 to separate the 2% portion of the Hotel Occupancy
Tax dedicated to the debt of facilities and expansion and improvements associated with the Fort Worth
Convention Center (FWCC) and the Will Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) from the other revenue sources of the
Culture & Tourism Fund, to more accurately track the uses of the different revenue sources.
