The non-profit cultural fund Frankfurt RheinMain GmbH promotes art and culture in the region. The cultural initiative RheinMain and the KulturRegion FrankfurtRheinMain GmbH have similar tasks. The regional park Ballungsraum RheinMain GmbH is responsible for promoting tourism in the context of the Rhein-Main Regional Park.
