Program areas at Dubuque Area Convention and Visitors Bureau
In July of 2013, the Dubuque Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) began as its own organization; operating as a destination marketing organization whose sole focus is providing and advocating for a strengthened tourism infrastructure for both visitors and partners. In 2020, convention delegates, sporting groups, group tours, family reunions, and individual travelers spent $281.02 million in Dubuque County. With this economic impact annually, the tourism industry has been recognized as an integral component in the development and continued prosperity of the Dubuque region. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw a decline of 29% in travel related expenditures across the county in 2020 compared to 2019. Our goal is to enact a year-long multi-channel marketing strategy and to work collaboratively with our partners and leverage them to get expenditures back to and exceed where they've been in past years. The Dubuque Area Convention and Visitors Bureau actively engages the general public to visit, explore, and spend the night in our community at a hotel/motel so that we can continue to enhance the individual's experience. Through this process we generate hotel/motel tax which allows our community to continue the process of generating money to further the promotion of our community to visitors and continue the process of growing our community through the improvements made to our streets, parks, and overall city amenities for our citizens. Our office helped facilitate the 2021 MLB Game at the Field of Dreams, created digital passports (Hops & Vines) to encourage travel, facilitating successful and safe events in the area through our Sports Commission. We also hosted the much-anticipated Sister City Photo Exhibit, which for a first-time event was a huge success in showcasing to the community the City of Dubuque's Sister Cities.
