Greene County Convention & Visitors Bureau

What Greene County Convention & Visitors Bureau does

Greene County Convention & Visitors Bureau (GCCVB) is the official county-level destination marketing organization for Greene County, Ohio, headquartered in Beavercreek. The CVB promotes the county as a travel destination for leisure visitors, meeting and convention planners, sports event organizers, and group tour operators, marketing a portfolio that includes the National Museum of the US Air Force, Wright State University's Nutter Center, Yellow Springs, Young's Jersey Dairy, Village Artisans, historic Clifton Mill, and 340+ miles of regional trails across nine municipalities (Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Cedarville, Clifton, Fairborn, Jamestown, Spring Valley, Xenia, Yellow Springs).

The organization's core product is the greenecountyohio.org destination marketing website, supported by a SimpleView CRM-powered partner extranet, an events calendar, free print and digital visitor guides, an event submission platform, a digital Coffee Trail passport program, and meeting/sports/wedding/group event planning services. The technology stack is built almost entirely on the SimpleView platform and is operated by a small staff (1-10 employees). Distribution is primarily domestic, leveraging the website, social media, email newsletters, printed visitor guides, and partnerships with Ohio State Tourism (ohio.org) and local chambers of commerce.

As a non-profit county government entity, the CVB is funded through county appropriations and local tourism/lodging taxes rather than commercial sales. Visitor-facing services (guides, event listings) are free; the principal revenue-side counterparties are local tourism partners (hotels, attractions, restaurants) that gain marketing exposure and lead routing through the extranet. The organization has no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no leadership changes in the available source material.
