Tourism Zones

Tourism Zones 

Tourism Zones allow the City to qualify a project for the Tourism Development Financing Program (TDFP) through the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

The goal of the City’s Tourism Zones is to expand economic activity that capitalizes on Norfolk’s locational advantages and economic assets, supporting efforts to promote Norfolk as a tourist and convention destination.
