Budget estimate

$100,000 – $300,000

No budget is disclosed; however, a county‑wide tourism PR campaign typically ranges from $100k to $300k annually, based on scope (media relations, influencer programs, crisis handling, monitoring) and the need for a dedicated team. Smaller firms may bid at the lower end, while agencies offering extensive analytics and nationwide influencer networks could approach the higher end.
