MetroWest is on the map!

Through 2010 legislation proposed by Sen. Karen E. Spilka, the MetroWest Boston Visitors Bureau was designated as a Regional Tourism Council (RTC) and now has the exciting job of marketing the countless things to do and see and crow about in our 19 municipalities*. Let us show you off!

Our MetroWest Boston Visitors Bureau (MBVB) is working not only to attract travelers to your business, but to market your business to MetroWest residents looking for a local service, family activity, fantastic meal, cultural experience, getaway, and more. The MBVB is the first regional effort to “brand” and market MetroWest.

Your Membership in the MBVB offers:

High visibility among residents and visitors alike through web listings, event postings, display advertising, referrals, and more
Great marketing leads and opportunities nationally and internationally, available only through our affiliation as an RTC

Members have influence! You’ll be . . .

Shaping the MBVB’s services: You can ensure that our organization meets your needs by giving us input about our services and about our effort—the region’s first!—to brand MetroWest
Keeping our dollars in MetroWest: Until MetroWest Boston became an RTC, millions of dollars in room tax collected by our region’s hotels was being sent to Boston to market its attractions and amenities. Now a significant portion of those tax revenues stays in MetroWest in the form of a grant to your MBVB.
Sending a message to the State Legislature: Your membership tells the Legislature that MetroWest indeed belongs on the map of state-funded Regional Tourism Councils! Show your support for this economic development initiative so that MetroWest Boston continues to receive state funding to brand and market our region.

Join us as we put YOUR organization and MetroWest on the map!
