Marketing Support Co-op Program

Mt. Hood Territory (Clackamas County Tourism) offers marketing support for tourism businesses through our Marketing Support Co-Op Program, a cooperative advertising program where Mt. Hood Territory covers a large portion of the cost for businesses in select trusted advertising platforms. Our tourism partners can select from digital and print placements. Participation is open to tourism-related festivals/events, businesses, and experiences in Clackamas County.
