Business Improvement District (BID) Meetings

The Greater Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau, together with numerous hotel/resort properties, have formed the voluntary Greater Sedona Business Improvement District (BID).

The BID is a way of funding business-focused marketing programs to help increase overall revenue for all businesses in Sedona and the surrounding areas.

The founding members of the BID are called “Platinum Partners.” Platinum Partners are receiving special promotional visibility during the full duration of their BID commitment.

However, all participating hotels and the Chamber believe that the entire business community of Greater Sedona benefits from the efforts of the BID program.

BID meetings are reserved for participants.
