The Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau functions as the official and accredited destination marketing organization for Wake County, coordinating efforts to attract conventions, meetings, and leisure visitors to the region. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, it traces its origins to the Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau, which operated from 1986 through early 1992 as part of the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and then reorganized as a separate bureau after 1992. It was formed in January 1992 by the Wake County Board of Commissioners and the Raleigh City Council following legislation passed by the North Carolina General Assembly. In the travel arrangements sector, the bureau's activities focus on promoting Wake County as a destination and supporting event organizers with information and marketing resources to facilitate group travel and tourism. Recent developments include partnerships with cultural and educational organizations, such as a collaboration with the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum for a Music Under the Stars concert scheduled for June 11, 2026.
