Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau - Program of Work 2018
January 15, 2019 Ms. Gabriella Calicchio, Director Department of Cultural and Visitor Services County of Marin 20 Avenue of the Flags San Rafael, CA 94903 Dear Gabriella, We are submitting the 2018 Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau Program of Work for your review. Included in this information are highlights year to date as well as goals and objectives for 2019. Overall travel spending by visitors to Marin increased by three percent from the previous year. Marin County continues to have three of the top 100 most visited National Parks in United States. Visitor interest in unique and non-traditional outdoor experiences continue to attract a younger clientèle, seeking a centralized location with easy access to both San Francisco and the wine country. With the Moscone Center coming back online in 2019 the business and group travel market to Marin County is expected to grown between three to five percent over the previous two years. In addition the MCVB has been working with the Marin Economic Forum to establish baseline visitor statistics specific to activities within Marin County only. The Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau appreciates your support as well as the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the staff at the Marin Civic Center. We enjoy working on collaborative projects and look forward to continuing this partnership as we move forward. Yours truly,
Mark Essman Mark L. Essman President, CEO Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau

Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau - Program of Work 2018
OVERVIEW In May of 2004, the Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau (MCVB) was created out of a one percent self-assessment of lodging properties within the Marin County Business Improvement District (BID). The MCVB represents seven communities, plus a variety of lodging members from Coastal Marin/Point Reyes, totaling 36 lodging properties and 2,300 guest rooms.
MISSION STATEMENT To develop a sustainable visitor base to Marin County, enhance the local economies, and protect the natural resources through responsible promotion. CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU visitMarin.org
POSITIONING STATEMENT Marin County is ideally located in the North Bay Area directly between San Francisco and the world famous wine regions of Sonoma County and the Napa Valley. Offering an affordable alternative to the city of San Francisco, yet only 30 minutes from the Wine Country, Marin County offers a central vantage point from which visitors can explore the entire San Francisco Bay Area as well as discover the natural beauty this diverse region provides.
Page 4
Marin County has over 70 miles of ocean coastline and 40 miles of bay shoreline. Eighty percent of Marin County’s land is unincorporated, dedicated to park land, open space, and agricultural land. This open space provides visitors with outstanding recreational opportunities such as hiking, mountain and road biking, golfing, fishing, sailing, and even bird and whale watching. An area as diverse as its natural landscape, Marin County offers the visitor world-class arts and cultural events, unique shopping and dining experiences, all in a centralized location in the greater bay area.

DESCRIPTIVE BRANDING STATEMENT “Marin, just a little out there.”
DEFINITIVE BRANDING ANTHEM It’s different here. And not by accident. Marin County is just a little out there. As in, one famous bridge away from San Francisco. And right next door to the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma. Closer than you could ever imagine to everything that’s unique in this clever corner of California. There’s hang gliding and kayaking. Fresh, sustainable agriculture. The pinnacle of luxury and the world’s finest wines. All here in this special place. The home of holistic artists and goat cheese artisans. The birthplace of mountain biking and Obi Wan Kenobi. The natural habitat of those grateful for nature and of the Grateful Dead.
