The primary responsibility of the Visitors and Tourism Board is to develop and provide visitors and tourism programs for visitors to the city based on the level of financial support provided by the City Council and other entities.
This board is comprised of nine members, each serving a three-year term, who are charged with enhancing economic development of the city by promoting Cedar Falls as a visitors’ destination and as a viable setting to hold meetings, conventions, special events, and community attractions.
The board determines the operations and programming policy for visitors and tourism events administered by the City’s Human and Leisure Services Department.
The Board also serves as the City’s review agency and coordinator of all outside agency and special group requests for City financial support related to the use of hotel / motel tax proceeds to support visitors and tourism services.
