TACVB Idea Fair Awards

The TACVB Annual Conference allows destination marketing professions throughout Texas and beyond to come together for a week of education, networking, idea sharing and training on important travel and convention related topics. Attendees also take part in the annual TACVB Idea Fair Competition where each city presents its recent programs and campaigns created over the past year. Members vote on a winning entry for each of the eight categories including: Advertising, Convention Promotion, Web Site, Local Awareness, Cooperative Marketing, Video, Tourism Promotion and Sports Marketing.  

The Texas Association of Convention and Visitor Bureaus is the largest association of CVBs in the nation and was organized in 1972 for the purpose of providing cooperative action to enhance and encourage the growth of the convention and visitor industry in Texas.  Specifically, this is pursued by encouraging cooperation among Texas CVBs and the Texas travel industry; by maintaining standards of professionalism; by cooperating in the exchange of information between TACVB members; by developing an awareness of legislative action and unifying public relations activities and by providing educational opportunities. The TACVB website is http://www.tacvb.org/. 

The Beaumont CVB is the official destination marketing organization for Beaumont, Texas. Our mission is to entice groups, conventions and meetings to choose Beaumont as their meeting destination. These groups impact the local economy through hotel occupancy taxes and tourism dollars that significantly affect the economic development of Beaumont. Tourism dollars are “new money” brought into the local economy.
