Mission

The mission of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau is to maximize the economic contribution of the convention, tourism & hospitality industry to Nashville, TN, which is the city's second largest industry. This industry provides jobs to over 100,000 people and brings over $11 billion into the local economy each year. Its health is critical to the community.

Through direct sales efforts, the NCVB marketed the city to the national meeting planning and group travel industries, to raise awareness of the attractiveness of the Nashville area as a convention and leisure travel destination. Through these efforts, the NCVB secured contracts with groups representing over 2 million future room nights from these meetings.

In association with Music City Inc., the NCVB produced musical events for the city that were free and open to the public over the July 4th and New Year's Eve holiday periods. These events provide additional leisure products that attract visitors to the city. The New Year's Eve event was broadcast nationally on the CBS television network.

To facilitate visitors making their travel arrangements when coming to Nashville, the NCVB operates a state-of-the-art website, 2 remote physical Visitor Centers, and a fully staffed call center to answer visitor inquiries, make suggestions about what to do while visitors are in the city, and make hotel and attraction reservations for the visitors over the phone, or through our website.
