What is the Localist?

The Localist is a group of passionate residents who embody the Beaumont spirit. They are individuals who already see Beaumont as a vibrant place with untapped potential. It is a concerted effort to make a unified Beaumont by sharing our experiences in the community.

What am I expected to do?

As a Localist, members will be asked to participate in community events, relay information about local opportunities, and work towards creating a unified Beaumont. 

Mission Statement

What is the Beaumont CVB and Why the Localist?

The Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is a department within the City of Beaumont whose main task is to promote Beaumont, Texas as a visitor and meeting destination. We work with partners throughout the city including museums, hotels, restaurants, venues, vendors, etc. to create experiences for those visiting and meeting in Beaumont.

The Localist initiative is a way to bridge the gap between the visitor and the community member and show how we (at the Beaumont CVB) love to brag about Beaumont and all the amazing things there are to do. By joining the Localist, residents can see the opportunities and be a part of sharing all there is to offer while joining in on the fun and supporting local.

How to Social-ize

We’d love you to use your social media channels to positively promote Beaumont. We always want your posts to be authentic and genuine. We’re not looking to review businesses but rather raise awareness of all the amazing restaurants, shops, attractions, events, and opportunities in Southeast Texas. We want to share our experiences so others can emulate them with any details you think would be helpful - where did you go, what did you do, what could you have done nearby, what do you wish you would’ve known? If a place or employee deserves praise, by all means, shout it from the rooftops, we’re just not here to put anyone on blast or contribute to the negativity. There’s enough of that in the world (especially online) and we're here to be the hype squad. Feel free to use any hashtags that you think would be relevant for discovery — #BmtTX, #EatBMT, #VisitBeaumontTX, etc.
