Group Marketing
One of the primary focuses of Visit Portland is to promote the Greater Portland region as a primary destination for Conventions, Meetings, Events, Sports, Reunions, and Weddings.

Partners can post their events and deals through an online portal, allowing you to include a photograph, event description, and links to your booking engine or website.

As a Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), the team at Visit Portland works year-round to promote visitation to Greater Portland. All marketing efforts direct traffic to VisitPortland.com, resulting in nearly 600,000 qualified visitors each year, viewing over 2 million pages. Be sure that your business is prominently featured on this highly referenced website.
PARTNER TESTIMONIAL
“We’ve belonged to Visit Portland for over 20 years because the community interaction, business leads, resources for publications and advertising, as well as referrals from networking are tremendous. We not only cover our membership expense with 1 or 2 events, our partnership generates 30-40% beyond that!”
