Rural Tourism Program
Celebrating the Stories of Tennessee’s Rural Communities
At the Center for Rural Innovation, we believe the heart of a community is its
people. That’s why when we work with your group to develop a tourism brand,
we depend on your residents to fill in the blanks. With our team’s guidance and
our students’ talents, we’ll work with you to give you assets you’ll be proud to
share. And with help beyond branding, like economic impact studies and small
business assistance, we’re here to help your community share their story.
"Not only did they nail it, but they took the time to create cohesive branding that flowed together with our already established county-wide brand flawlessly."
As of April 2024, TCRI has launched or completed branding projects in eight rural distressed or at-risk counties, as well as six other rural municipalities. Interested in getting on the list? Contact us today!
