History
The
Missouri Association of Convention & Visitor
Bureaus was established in 1992 to develop
cooperative marketing, promotion and educational
programs among convention and visitor bureaus
throughout the state and to provide resources and a
support network for its members.
MACVB
strives to enhance the awareness and influence of the
convention and visitor industry through the efforts of
convention and visitor bureaus, as a viable economic
generator for Missouri. Another goal of MACVB is
to influence government at all levels in matters that
impact convention and visitor bureaus and/or
convention and visitor industry.
Annual
meetings have been held since 1993 with education being the
focal point. The meetings also allow a forum for members
to discuss current issues and trends. Relationships are
built creating cooperation across the state and members are
able to pool their resources to hire professional speakers and
provide helpful programs for employees. In addition,
many of the founding members are still involved in MACVB
creating a strong foundation for the organization.
