DESCRIPTION
The City of Joliet, Illinois is seeking a qualified firm to conduct a comprehensive tourism market assessment and strategic development study. The selected vendor will identify market opportunities, destination development priorities, investment strategies, and implementation actions that support long-term tourism growth and community goals.
The scope of work includes a thorough inventory and assessment of tourism assets, such as visitor amenities, lodging, entertainment venues, cultural resources, recreational options, and supporting infrastructure.

Vendors are expected to develop a strategic roadmap that connects market insights and priority projects to actionable next steps, as well as identify and prioritize target visitor segments for Joliet. The final deliverables will include recommendations on destination positioning, strategic pillars to guide investment and development, and brand-aligned strategies to enhance the city's competitiveness over the next 5–10 years.
