Testimonials
“Having worked with CVBs and DMOs of all sizes and shapes over the years, it’s hard for many of them to match the enthusiasm and creativity I’ve witnessed in the team at Visit Concord. They are always coming up with compelling programs that engage their community and offer much for their groups and visitors. They put more energy into their customer service than many CVBs twice their size.”
