What does it support?
TPDF supports creation of new tourism products or attractions, major rejuvenation with meaningful new visitor content, and related tourism infrastructure or product-development work.
Who can apply?
The scheme is open to legal entities whose project can attract foreign visitors and contribute to foreign visitor spend. For new products, STB also considers contribution to quality local jobs.
How does the support work?
STB provides reimbursement-based co-funding and determines the support level through project assessment. The current public page does not state one universal funding rate or fixed project cap.
What expenditure can qualify?
Qualifying categories can include professional services such as research or adaptation studies, hardware, equipment and software, materials and consumables, and production expenditure.
Key conditions
The project must not have commenced before application. Simple refurbishment without a meaningful content refresh is not eligible. The proposal should demonstrate a material new or rejuvenated tourism proposition, not routine asset upkeep.
Timing and application process
TPDF is currently available on a rolling basis without a fixed public closing date. Companies should engage STB while product scope, capital investment and content are still being designed.
Build the tourism product concept, quantify visitor and spend outcomes, distinguish new content from routine refurbishment, prepare the development budget and timeline, and submit an executive summary to STB for initial eligibility assessment.
Is this scheme relevant to your project?
A strong fit is a new attraction or a substantial rejuvenation that creates meaningful new visitor content and measurable tourism value. A weak fit is normal renovation, maintenance or a product aimed only at the domestic market with no foreign-visitor rationale.
