The Virginia Beach Convention and Visitor Bureau (CVB) supports, maintains and expands the City's leisure travel (including the group tour market and international travel) and the meeting & convention and sports marketing markets. The CVB offers corporate social responsibility programs for clients and CVB staff participates in them both as a bureau and with the hospitality industry. The budget for the Bureau is over $18 million and over 100 employees. The Bureau also manages the 500,000 square foot Virginia Beach Convention Center (VBCC). The destination is proud to be the first "Virginia Green" destination in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the VBCC is the first LEED certified convention center for Existing Buildings.
