Organizational Overview

A 501(c)6 corporation, Visit Cincy is comprised of four departments (Finance/Admin; Sales; Marketing and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion). Support comes from a Hamilton County dedicated transient occupancy tax, as well as nearly 500-member companies throughout the region that invest in our efforts and help make the Cincinnati region a top destination by offering their services, attractions and facilities to visitors, meeting planners and convention goers.

Over the years, Visit Cincy has developed partnerships to strengthen our marketing impact and leverage our regional relationships. One of the closest partnerships is with meetNKY, the Northern Kentucky Convention & Visitors Bureau. In 2020, the two organizations solidified a direct collaboration to build leisure tourism business, promote the region for meetings together and maximize business system efficiencies. Joint strategies include building a targeted leisure tourism campaign, this website, visitor resource materials, and more. The organizations also work together to promote meetings and events, group and packaged travel, international outreach and support airline development for the region. When we collaborate for a campaign or event, we use the umbrella brand of "Cincy Region." Cincy Region not only refers to the four counties that primarily fund our organizations (Hamilton County, Ohio; Boone, Kenton, and Campbell, KY) but the full 10-county metropolitan statistical area (MSA) of greater Cincinnati.

An independent entity, Visit Cincy also works closely with hotels throughout the region and a host of regional business and economic development organizations in addition to meetNKY, including the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, African American Chamber, Hispanic Chamber Cincinnati USA, REDI Cincinnati, 3CDC, The Sharonville Convention Center and the current Duke Energy Convention Center management company, to market Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and the region.

Visit Cincy was previously known as the Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Greater Cincinnati Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Destinations International DMAP Accredited Visit Cincy has received the Destination Marketing Accreditation Program (DMAP) seal by Destinations International in recognition of the organization's commitment to industry excellence and meeting the industry standards for performance and accountability of destination organizations worldwide.

Visit Cincy is honored to be recognized as a 2025 Business Courier Best Places to Work finalist.
