Ms. Gabriella Calicchio, DirectorDepartment of Cultural and Visitor ServicesCounty of Marin20 Avenue of the FlagsSan Rafael, CA 94903

Dear Gabriella,

We are submitting the 2016 Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau Program of Work for your review. Included in this information are highlights year to date as well as goals and objectives for 2017.

Travel to California remained strong for 2016. Domestic travel and the drive market segment focused their destination on the Greater Bay Area. Culinary/Agritourism activities, and newly established arts and culture attractions continued to grow in popularity for visitors in the County. Interest in commercial film production also saw a marked increase from prevoious years. Individuals visiting the area looked to Marin for the unique experiences it has to offer.

The Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau appreciates your support as well as the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the staff at the Marin Civic Center. We enjoy working on collaborative projects and look forward to continuing this partnership as we move forward.

Yours truly,

Mark EssmanMark L. EssmanPresident, CEOMarin Convention & Visitors Bureau

OVERVIEW

In May of 2004, the Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau (MCVB) was created out of a one percent self-assessment of lodging properties within the Marin County Business Improvement District (BID). The MCVB represents seven communities, plus a variety of lodging members from Coastal Marin/Point Reyes, totaling 36 lodging properties and 2,300 guest rooms.

MISSION STATEMENT

To develop a sustainable visitor base to Marin County, enhance the local economies, and protect the natural resources through responsible promotion.

POSITIONING STATEMENT

Marin County is ideally located in the North Bay Area directly between San Francisco and the world famous wine regions of Sonoma County and the Napa Valley.

Offering an affordable alternative to the city of San Francisco, yet only 30 minutes from the Wine Country, Marin County offers a central vantage point from which visitors can explore the entire San Francisco Bay Area as well as discover the natural beauty this diverse region provides.

Marin County has over 70 miles of ocean coastline and 40 miles of bay shoreline. Eighty percent of Marin County’s land is unincorporated, dedicated to park land, open space, and agricultural land. This open space provides visitors with outstanding recreational opportunities such as hiking, mountain and road biking, golfing, fishing, sailing, and even bird and whale watching.

An area as diverse as its natural landscape, Marin County offers the visitor world-class arts and cultural events, unique shopping and dining experiences, all in a centralized location in the greater bay area.

DESCRIPTIVE BRANDING STATEMENT

“Marin, just a little out there.”

DEFINITIVE BRANDING ANTHEM

It’s different here. And not by accident.

Marin County is just a little out there. As in, one famous bridge away from San Francisco. And right next door to the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma. Closer than you could ever imagine to everything that’s unique in this clever corner of California.

There’s hang gliding and kayaking. Fresh, sustainable agriculture. The pinnacle of luxury and the world’s finest wines. All here in this special place. The home of holistic artists and goat cheese artisans. The birthplace of mountain biking and Obi Wan Kenobi. The natural habitat of those grateful for nature and of the Grateful Dead.

Samples of Brand Tag Lines:

• Everyone has a place that’s a natural fit. Even nature.• You’ll love who you are when you’re here.• A playground for your soul.• Where nature goes to relax.

The Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau promotes the Marin brand in a variety of on-going marketing programs to promote the uniqueness, sustainability, natural beauty, and accessibility of Marin County to visitors and international guests. In addition the MCVB also works as a local resource for visitor information throughout the region.

2016 ~ Marin County Travel Summary

The highlight of the 2016 travel season in Marin was the celebratio of the National Park Service’s 100th Anniversary in August. Of the 100 most visited National Parks in the United States, Marin County hosts three of these destinations: Golden Gate Recreation Area, Muir Woods National Monument, and Point Reyes National Seashore.

Hotel room rates and especially Average Daily Rate (ADR), as well as Revenue Per Room (Rev-PAR) experienced an increase of over five percent increase, placing Marin County in the top five Counties of the Greater Bay Area for visitor increased visitor spending. The business travel mar-ket has rebounded well since the decline in 2009. Marin County also experienced and increase in in-ternational travel with the number of visitors in San Francisco exploring the north half of the Bay Area.

The Marin Convention and Visitors Bureau (MCVB) continues to diversify its message and delivery with the Millennial Traveler by the social media net-work. Travelers to Marin and travelers in general want access to instant visitor information, specials and promotions offered by the hospitality industry. Marin County businesses took a responsive interest to provide “real world” information to capture a traveler that has nearly unlimited opportuities to choose a destination. Social media technology allows even smaller markets, such as Marin County, to compete on a more even playing field with much larger Destination Management Organizations.

The industry trend for year 2017 and beyond will be primarily video and digital based as opposed to static ads. The MCVB currently has a substancial image library. Plans for the coming year in-clude increasing all video content, video production, and digital imaging to assist and educate travelers to Marin County.
