Virginia Tourism Corporation

The Virginia Tourism Authority, doing business as the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) is an organization of more than 70 professionals working in the Richmond office and at 11 Welcome Centers throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The overriding goal of all of VTC's activities is to "serve the broader interests of the economy of Virginia by supporting, maintaining and expanding the Commonwealth's domestic and international inbound tourism and motion picture production industries in order to increase visitor expenditures, tax revenues and employment." Or, stated another way, our goal is "more people, staying longer, spending more money."
