MS Gulf Coast Con Vis Bureau

MS Gulf Coast Con Vis Bureau is the official page of the Gulf Coast Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau, which provides professional tourism marketing and development support for the three counties that make up the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is a corporate entity registered as a tax-exempt, other not for profit organization in SAM.gov.

The Bureau has received federal grant awards to support tourism marketing services and infrastructure projects aimed at attracting visitors to the Mississippi Gulf Coast region. In April 2021, it was awarded a $2.5 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program. As the designated sub-awardee, the Bureau will use these funds to implement marketing programs and services to help mitigate adverse economic impacts from changes in the region's tourism industry and stabilize and diversify the Gulf Coast economy. Additionally, the Bureau has received sub-awards from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to support the promotion of tourism by implementing tourist wayfinding and informational signage across the Mississippi Gulf Coast to attract visitors and enhance the visitor experience. These projects involve partnerships with state agencies to deliver goods and services that promote economic development through tourism in the Gulf Coast region.
