Our mission is to promote Greater New Haven as a destination or stopover point for individual and group tourism. This is accomplished by engaging in visitor promotions and soliciting and servicing conventions, sporting events and other related group business. The goal is to ultimately generate overnight stays and business for area attractions and businesses, thereby enhancing the economic fabric of the region.

THE ROLE OF VNH

Visit New Haven (VNH) is a destination marketing organization. Because convention and visitor business can be attracted to the Greater New Haven region more effectively through coordinated efforts rather than individual efforts, VNH serves like a cooperative, representing all components of the visitor industry including lodging, restaurants, convention/meeting facilities, tour operators, attractions and transportation carriers as well as the retail and commercial resources that are important to our visitors. Each component of our visitor industry is competitive; yet they share that competitive spirit with VNH to form the "destination team" that helps us carry out a comprehensive marketing program for our region.

Working closely with meeting and group planners is a very important role the VNH plays. VNH serves as a centralized resource for planners who need assistance in receiving reliable information about the Greater New Haven area regarding their meeting/convention, sporting event, or group tour. The organization serves as the liaison between the planner and the destination. Given this dual responsibility of representing the interests of both the buyer and the seller, the VNH serves as the stabilizing long-term influence through which groups, conventions/meetings are solicited and serviced. VNH also serves as the individual visitor's one-stop center for ideas and information on things to do in the region.
