About CVB
The mission of the DeKalb Area CVB is to enhance the economic vitality of our County through the promotion of overnight stays, conferences and meeting facilities, as well as tourist attractions.
Purpose of a Convention and Visitors Bureau
The Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) serves as the first point of contact for meeting planners, sports tournament directors, tour operators, special event planners, and leisure travelers. Marketing, advertising, and promotional efforts are focused 50 miles outside the bureau’s region to attract new dollars and new business, which results in a positive impact on economic development.
A CVB does not organize meetings, conventions or sporting events. A CVB helps the meeting planners, tournament directors and visitors learn about the destination and area attractions to make the best possible use of all the services and facilities the destination has to offer.
