Your Investment Supports Our Work

As the city’s destination marketing and management organization, Travel Portland works on behalf of our partners as:

Demand Drivers – working to influence travelers and meeting planners to choose Portland over another destination.
City Stewards – advocating for the tourism industry and supporting initiatives that contribute to the city’s livability, vibrancy and longevity.
Industry Intelligence – conducting research and providing resources and training to benefit members of the Portland tourism industry.
Community Connectors – uniting members of the tourism industry to share resources and facilitating networking and collaboration.

If your business benefits from our work on behalf of the Portland tourism industry, we encourage you to become a Travel Portland partner. Travel Portland is a 501(c)(6) — a membership-based nonprofit — and 2% of our funding comes from partner dues.
