Welcome to the Kentucky Travel Industry Association 

The Kentucky travel industry, a premier driver of Kentucky’s economy, is as diverse and dynamic as the experiences it delivers to Kentucky visitors.

Since 1980, KTIA has provided the industry with advocacy, education, information and business development services. Transcending all of KTIA’s work is a concerted effort to increase awareness of the vital role that tourism plays in Kentucky’s economy. 

If your company or organization serves Kentucky visitors, we are here to serve you. To find out more about becoming a KTIA member, click here. 

KTIA Welcomes the Kentucky Hotel & Lodging Association

The Kentucky Hotel & Lodging Association (KH&LA) membership has voted to merge into the KTIA effective August 1, 2018. All KH&LA members will automatically become KTIA members and will immediately be eligible for KTIA services and benefits. We look forward to this next exciting chapter for Kentucky’s hotel industry and the overall travel and tourism industry of Kentucky.
 
KH&LA inquiries should now be directed to KTIA President & CEO, Hank Phillips at [email protected] or KTIA Program Director, Sarah Brock at [email protected]. We also welcome comments and suggestions from our new members!
