The commission, doing business as Travel Oregon, drives economic growth and job creation by strengthening tourism throughout the state. The commission works to enhance visitors’ experiences by providing information, resources and trip-planning tools that inspire travel and consistently convey the exceptional qualities of Oregon.

Created in 1995 and made semi-independent by the legislature in 2003, Travel Oregon is led by a nine-member governor-appointed board and employs 60 staff members, who market the state with advertising campaigns, publications, destination development and community enrichment, and who manage the state’s Welcome Centers. Travel Oregon works with local communities, industry associations, government agencies and private businesses in the implementation of its industry and legislatively-approved biennial strategic plan.

 

The agency ensures broad economic impact throughout the state by partnering with Oregon’s Regional Destination Management organizations in the state’s seven tourism regions.
