Hot Springs Tourism Association (HSTA)

The Mission of HSTA is to encourage people to visit the Hot Springs area and to help them find the lodging, dining and activities which best meet their needs. In so doing, we will provide the best possible experience for visitors to our area and position individual merchants to be of the greatest possible service.

The Association is not for profit and operates as a loose affiliation of people and businesses who join together in support of visitors to the area and businesses who support them.

Criteria for membership:

Lodging businesses must be in the Hot Springs area and have a Hot Springs mailing address and 622-phone number.

Non-lodging businesses are the same as the above except that businesses outside this immediate area who support visitors with services may join. Examples are area horseback riding, area rafting, area realtors, area artists and artisans etc.
