The Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau (LOCVB) operates as a destination-focused advertising services entity dedicated to promoting the Lake of the Ozarks region in Missouri. Based in Osage Beach, it coordinates marketing efforts to attract visitors and support local businesses by increasing tourism and, where relevant, relocation to the area. It uses an integrated marketing approach that includes direct outreach, trade shows, digital promotions on Funlake.com, print guides, and public relations activities. The bureau is supported by more than 650 member businesses in the tri-county region and by a portion of lodging tax, aligning industry interests with tourism demand. Its history traces back to 1932 as the Lake of the Ozarks Improvement Association, later becoming the Lake of the Ozarks Association and ultimately adopting the current name in the early 1980s, reflecting its focus as a convention and visitor bureau.
