BECOME A MEMBER OF THE BEST TOURISM ASSOCIATION IN KENTUCKY
JOIN THE
KENTUCKY ASSOCIATION OF CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAUS

Convention and visitor bureaus (known as conference and/or tourism boards in many countries) are primarily not-for-profit organizations that represent a specific destination such as a city or region. CVB’s serve as the “official” contact point for their destination for meeting professionals, tour operators and individual visitors.

Our mission is to enhance the professionalism, effectiveness, and image of the Kentucky Tourism Commissions.

KACVB has created an inclusive, accessible, and responsive organization for all bureau professionals in Kentucky.

Our Purpose:

   a. To improve the public awareness and understanding of the convention and visitors industry’s economic and social contribution to society.

   b. To monitor and influence government policies and programs affecting members and the convention and visitor industry.

   c. To provide forums for personal interactions among members.

   d. To support high standards of professional practices throughout the convention and visitor industry.

   e. To maintain relationships with other tourism industry organizations to address common issues.

   f. To encourage on-going educational opportunities for members which enhance their proficiency.

   g. To enhance the profile of KACVB and the convention and visitor industry in Kentucky.
.
The dues are $100.00 for a new member for one year. After the first year dues are $200.00. There are four quarterly meetings, which are held around the state.

A tourism commission hosts the quarterly meeting in their own town to showcase their wonderful attractions. This way we know what they have to offer and can inform our local people as well as answer questions from other visitors.

The networking opportunities are numerous and the chance to borrow ideas and implement in your town are endless. During the first day of our meeting we have an educational speaker on such subjects as signage, auditing, tourism expenditures, legislative issues and much more.

Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.
