Who is Visit Corpus Christi?

Visit Corpus Christi is a 501c6 Destination Management Organization contracted by the city of Corpus Christi with a mission to strengthen our community by sharing Corpus Christi with the world. The organization is primarily funded through Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) paid by visitors while staying overnight in hotels and short-term rentals. 

Through destination marketing, sales, tourism development, and community partnerships, Visit Corpus Christi works to drive visitation, support local businesses, and enhance quality of life for residents. In addition to promoting the destination, the organization is home to the Corpus Christi Sports Commission, which attracts regional and national sporting events that generate economic impact and showcase the city as a premier sports destination. Visit Corpus Christi also leads the Film & Music Commission, supporting film productions, live music initiatives, and creative industries that help tell the story of Corpus Christi while strengthening the local economy.

Together, these efforts help position Corpus Christi as a vibrant Gulf Coast destination while creating opportunities that benefit residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
