Arrivalist State Dispersion Portal
What it is: Streamlined origin market data & length of stay data primarily at the state-wide level in a single-view dashboard. Results are filterable by date and for counties & independent cities in Virginia.
Cost: Zero-cost for VTC-recognized DMOs upon completion of an in-kind grant application. Access is enabled for one calendar year. This is a research grant with VTC paying Arrivalist on behalf of DMO applicants. Partners will have their own logins to a standardized portal and will have to complete an annual report demonstrating what media was secured, and what decisions were made using the data.
Who is Eligible: VTC-recognized DMOs as of August 31, 2025, with a total operational budget of less than $3M.
