The Town of Geneva Wisconsin Tourism Commission was created in August 2024 by the Geneva Town Board to promote and develop tourism within the Town of Geneva, according to the amended Town Ordinance #30 and Wisconsin State Statute 66.0615, beginning January 1, 2025, to disperse 70% of the room tax collected thereafter.
To accomplish this, the Tourism Commission will offer grants to businesses or organizations that will sponsor events of various types to attract visitors, book overnight stays, and have an additional economic impact on the Town of Geneva. In addition, the Commission has been researching a partnership with a Direct Marketing Organization and will eventually plan other projects to market the Town of Geneva to visitors.
The Town Chair and Board appointed five people to one-year terms. Current members are Steve Otten, Town of Geneva Supervisor #3; Garth Chambers, Destination Geneva National’s business entities; Arney Silvestri, Mars Resort/The Como Hotel/The Getaway Restaurant; Chris Buttleman, Lake Geneva House of Music’s business entities; Kathryn Bartelli, Member At-Large.
The Commission plans to meet the first Friday of each month at 10:00 am at the Geneva Town Hall, but a lack of quorum, holidays, etc., may require a different meeting day, time, or place.
We are looking forward to serving the Town of Geneva community!
