About the CVB
Officially, the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) is the destination marketing organization (or DMO) for the Huntsville area, including Huntsville, the city of Madison and all other attractions and offerings throughout Madison County. However, we like to think of ourselves simply as your tour guide to Huntsville.
It is our job to help create and support economic growth by highlighting Huntsville and Madison County's attributes to visitors, meeting planners, business travelers and convention-goers. If you want or need to travel, we want to tell you why you should visit Huntsville! And we offer free services to make that trip, conference, wedding, sporting event, family reunion—or whatever else may bring you our way—the best travel experience it can be.
Nuts and Bolts Details of the CVB
- We’re a not-for-profit organization funded from dedicated lodging tax.
- We’ve been around since 1970 as the official city/county agency promoting the area as a convention and visitor destination.
- Our annual operating budget is around $3.7 million.
- We have 16 full-time staff members and a nine member board of directors.
- We serve locals too – just because you live here doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of Huntsville vacation packages, deals or coupons. Stop by the Visitor Center at 500 Church Street NW in downtown Huntsville to learn more!
