We work on a cooperative level with area chambers, cities, businesses, Tri-County
Lodging Association, the Golf Council, and the Department
of Tourism.
The organization was first called the Lake of the Ozarks
Improvement and Protective Association. Over the years, the
name was changed to Lake of the Ozarks Association, and shortened
by many as, simply, Lake Association. In the early 1980's,
the official name was changed to Lake of the Ozarks Convention
& Visitor Bureau.
The CVB is not a Chamber of Commerce. We do, however, work
in conjunction with the area Chambers of Commerce. The Chambers
are responsible for promoting local businesses in their communities
and providing welcome centers for those who visit the Lake
of the Ozarks. The CVB is responsible for the overall promotion
of tourism for the entire Lake of the Ozarks. The mission
of the CVB is to promote the Lake of the Ozarks as a premiere
family, golf, and group meeting destination of the Midwest.
This goal is accomplished by the CVB working in partnership
with 450 businesses, reaching thousands of households in the
following ways:
Distribution of promotional literature at 14 boat, sport
and travel
shows in 10 states.
Mailing to over 75,000 households each year in response
to
persons requesting information through our office.
Managing the advertising campaigns for the Lake of the Ozarks
Tri-County Lodging Association by running newspaper, radio,
and
television ads in metropolitan areas within a 750 mile radius
of the
Lake. Additionally, publishing advertisements in national
magazines,
such as, Midwest Living and AAA Home & Away.
