Core Values

To perform effectively by adhering to guiding principles of equity, authenticity, and excellence.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

As the official destination management organization for Onondaga County, Visit Syracuse recognizes how critical inclusivity is to the tourism industry. It is our responsibility to promote the different cultures, history, heritage, cuisine, art and people that make our community unique in order to provide opportunities for under-represented communities to experience travel as a safe and equitable activity. Visit Syracuse is committed to bringing together a wide variety of voices when promoting tourism and sustaining our county’s economic growth. We will strive to be an organizational leader in intentional inclusivity, celebrating the cultural diversity of our community. Our organization is actively involved in Travel Unity, an organization with the purpose of increasing inclusion in the world of travel. Our upcoming Strategic Planning process will also further our commitment and strengthen our abilities and understanding in how to better promote diversity, inclusivity and equity within the travel and hospitality industry.
