Hospitality Partner Sponsorship Program
Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites Hospitality Partner Sponsorship Program
As heritage tourism continues to grow in Bethlehem, HBMS is proud to launch the Hospitality Partner Sponsorship Program, designed to elevate visibility for lodging partners while enhancing the visitor experience. This program integrates with HBMS's Bethlehem Heritage Partners Corporate Membership, allowing hotels to use included sponsorship funds toward hotel-focused marketing opportunities.
The program provides high-value exposure on our new "Lodging and Travel Information" webpage, in visitor and donor communications, and throughout the year as guests plan their visits to HBMS museums, sties, and events.
