Who we are...

Visit Albuquerque helps to stimulate Albuquerque’s economy by marketing the city as a premier destination for leisure and business travel. We are a private, not-for-profit organization funded by lodgers’ tax through a contract with the City of Albuquerque.

On average, the meetings, conventions and events that Visit Albuquerque helps secure bring over $84 million to the city’s economy. In order to sustain Albuquerque’s overall $2 billion per year tourism and travel industry, the support of local residents is imperative.

Imagine what we could do with the support of locals like you!

The Importance of Meetings & Conventions

LOCALS

Are you a member of a club or association that holds regional or national meetings? Do you serve on a board? Does your company hold annual meetings? Whether it’s 10 people or 10,000, Visit Albuquerque stands ready to help you bring your meeting home. If the job of bringing your organization’s meeting to Albuquerque seems overwhelming, we are here to assist with every step.

Recommend Albuquerque for a meeting or convention and become a Meeting Hero. You’ll feel great knowing you’ve had a positive influence on the area economy. As one of the largest private industries in the state, tourism is New Mexico’s leading private employer and continues to be one of the state’s most effective economic generators.
