Paso Robles Seeking New Tourism Website

Request for Proposals Available Now

The Travel Paso Robles Alliance (TPRA) is requesting proposals from professional web development and design firms to guide the organization in the creation of a new tourism website.

The TPRA is a group of Paso Robles hoteliers pooling resources to promote and market Paso Robles as a world-class tourism destination. This work is done in partnership with the City of Paso Robles and on behalf of multiple hospitality and stakeholder businesses who serve the visitor.

The ideal website will capture the unique personality of Paso Robles and its varied attractions, appeal to all audiences of area tourism, serve as the tourism resource for visitors to Paso Robles, and provide relevant information to support media inquiries about Paso Robles. This website will replace the current Travelpaso.com site, not overlap it.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format via email to Shonna Howenstine SHowenstine@prcity.com and TPRA Chairman, Victor Popp lq0832gm@laquinta.com by 3 p.m. on Friday, February 15, 2013.
