Welcome to the CVB community and member website. The CVB's mission is to market the Rapid City area as a convention and leisure destination and to promote economic growth that will enhance the area for visitors and residents.

As a destination marketing organization (DMO), the Rapid City Convention & Visitors Bureau delivers real dividends to local communities, governments, businesses, and residents, bolstering the economy. Visitor taxes mean residents pay less taxes. DMOs are investment accounts for destinations that create jobs. Destination Marketing = Passion, Impact, and Innovation.

The CVB works with area tourism and hospitality-related businesses, non-profit organizations, and event promoters to represent the area to potential travelers, tour operators, travel agents, meeting and event planners, as well as the travel media. The CVB maintains a staff of ten full time professionals.
