ATTACHMENT A
Carlsbad Tourism and Business Improvement District (CTBID)
Annual Report
2018-2019
Method of Assessment: The CTBID includes all hotel businesses located within
the CTBID boundaries. The assessment shall be levied on all hotel businesses,
existing and future, within the City of Carlsbad based upon a flat fee of $1.00 per
occupied room per night for all transient occupancies as defined in section
3.12.020(7) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The amount of assessment shall be
separately stated from the amount of the rent and other taxes charged, and each
transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the operator. The assessment
will be remitted monthly, based on $1.00 per occupied room per night in revenues
for the previous month.
Assessment Funding Purpose: To administer marketing and visitor programs
to promote the City of Carlsbad as a tourism visitor destination and to fund projects,
programs, and activities, including appropriate administrative charges that benefit
hotels within the boundaries of the District.
2017-18 Work Plan: Last fiscal year, the CTBID contracted with Carlsbad
Convention and Visitors Bureau (dba Visit Carlsbad) to provide tourism marketing
services for Carlsbad. In addition, $110,000 in grants were awarded to fund
projects and events to increase the overnight stays in Carlsbad hotels.
The CTBID 2018-19 budget includes $1,266,600 in funding for Visit Carlsbad. The
services provided will focus primarily on driving demand in the leisure market
during the off peak season. The majority of this will be done by interactive
marketing and group sales. For the first time, Visit Carlsbad will also be conducting
a Spring integrated advertising campaign. Visit Carlsbad will contract with a public
relations firm to continue branding Carlsbad. Funding also includes managing the
visitor center and publications. The Visit Carlsbad Board will review the CTBID
grant applicants and make the funding recommendations, for which there is
$200,000 allocated this year, to the CTBID Board.
Detail of the 2018-19 budget is shown on the following page.
