Commonwealth Circle

All businesses in the Kentucky tourism industry benefit from a strong association and the resulting strengthened industry. However, some have sufficient resources to make an added investment in pursuit of those benefits, both for themselves and for the industry as a whole. KTIA has created the means for them to make that investment. The Commonwealth Circle is a special membership category through which a member can contribute to a stronger, more effective and increasingly influential KTIA and Kentucky tourism industry while also reaping important value-added benefits for themselves.
