Throughout the year the Park City Convention & Visitors Bureau will host 3-day group familiarization tours for qualified meeting planners. ABOUT US The Park City Chamber/Bureau has played an instrumental role in the advancement and development of the Park City area business community for over 35 years. We are both a Chamber of Commerce and a Visitor Bureau. The reason for a blended organiza�on is that the economy is so centered around hospitality that it makes sense to blend the organiza�ons into one. We are a “Member Centric” organiza�on rather than a governmental en�ty. The organiza�on takes pride in the fact that the members elect the board and they are representa�ve of community leadership. The Park City Chamber/Convention and Visitor Bureau efforts indicate the depth of the team and the efforts to stimulate the economy with such works as:
• Special Events • Interna�onal marke�ng and sales • Strong use of digital pla�orms • Media rela�ons and communica�ons
• Adver�sing on a global scale • Membership services • Visitor Services • Industry Advocacy
