Warren County Convention And Visitors Bureau

What Warren County Convention And Visitors Bureau does

The Warren County Convention & Visitors Bureau (WCCVB) is a private, non-profit 501c6 corporation that serves as the official destination marketing organization for Warren County, Ohio, operating under the registered trademark "Ohio's Largest Playground." The organization promotes a diversified tourism portfolio spanning amusement parks (Kings Island), indoor water parks (Great Wolf Lodge), gaming (Miami Valley Gaming with 1,900+ machines), wineries and craft beverage venues, dinner theatre (La Comedia), outdoor recreation, and historic sites — including Fort Ancient Earthworks, Ohio's first and only UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its core operational assets are the ohioslargestplayground.com digital marketing platform (website, blog, e-newsletter, visitor guide, social media across five platforms) and the flagship 128-acre Warren County Sports Park at Union Village, a championship-grade sports facility completed in 2020 with multiple turf and grass fields, batting cages, and baseball facilities designed to host tournaments with measurable economic impact.

WCCVB's business model combines destination marketing, partnership promotion, and direct sports facility operations. As a 501c6 destination marketing organization, the underlying funding base is broadly distributed across hospitality and tourism activity in Warren County, with the Sports Park's capital and operating costs financed by WCCVB revenues rather than public tax dollars. Distribution combines self-serve online field reservations (warrencountysportspark.maxgalaxy.net) with content-driven referrals to lodging, dining, and attraction partners. Customer segments include family travelers, sports event organizers, adult couples seeking craft beverage and dining experiences, and outdoor/history enthusiasts — supported by core GTM marketing partnerships with Kings Island, Great Wolf Lodge, Miami Valley Gaming, Valley Vineyards, and La Comedia Dinner Theatre. The Sports Park land is owned by the Warren County Port Authority, with WCCVB operating the facility under a mutual partnership arrangement.
