About

In 2001, TAP merged with the Tourism Cluster of the New Economy Initiative (NEI), which was coordinated by the Greater North Dakota Chamber of Commerce. In 2018, the organization was incorporated as the North Dakota Travel Alliance and eventually the North Dakota Travel Alliance Partnership.
