Visit Corpus Christi is an internationally accredited 501c6 Destination Management Organization contracted by the city of Corpus Christi to promote travel and tourism to the region. The organization is managed by a 17-member board of directors with a mission of Strengthening the Community by Sharing Corpus Christi with the World. Visit Corpus Christi receives no public funds and has two primary funding sources that are both paid for by visitors staying in overnight accommodation. Per state statute, the city of Corpus Christi levies a 7% Hotel Occupancy Tax on overnight visitors staying in hotels and short-term rentals of which VCC receives 44%. Beginning August 1, 2022, hotels within the city limits of over 40 rooms created the Corpus Christi Tourism Public Improvement District (CCTPID). CCTPID is managed by a 13-member board of hoteliers and levies an additional 2% assessment on overnight stays. VCC receives these funds to use for additional marketing and sales initiatives.
