Tourism

In 2011, Memphis Area Association of Governments created the Tourism Advisory Board (TAB), made up of representatives from all four Tennessee counties in our development district: Fayette, Lauderdale, Shelby and Tipton, to bring awareness to tourism opportunities in the rural communities outside of Memphis.  Through a grant from the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, the TAB began promoting these regions through the “West Tennessee Day Trippin’” campaign.
