Tourism has more than a $2.3 billion annual economic impact on Newark and supports more than 25,000 jobs in the community. What’s the best platform for you to reach visitors, and for them to reach you?

The Greater Newark Convention and Visitors Bureau Membership Program

The GNCVB markets to business and leisure visitors who shop, dine, visit attractions, attend performances, stay overnight in hotels and make purchases from area businesses. More than 1.1 million visitors stayed overnight in Newark hotels in 2018.

Why Become A Member

The Greater Newark Convention and Visitors Bureau (GNCVB) is the brand steward for the City of Newark as well as the catalyst for billions of dollars of economic impact that the hospitality industry brings to the city.  If you are looking to expand your reach, market to the visitor economy, connect with meetings and conventions or support the thousands of employees in the local hospitality community, The GNCVB is your conduit to achieve these goals.

A Great Investment

Becoming a member brings exclusive marketing opportunities to those seeking additional sales and promotional opportunities.  The GNCVB offers four levels of membership, starting at just $250 per year. 

A featured benefit you will receive is to be listed in our Official Visitors Guide, available at multiple locations throughout Greater Newark, including Newark Liberty International Airport and area hotels and attractions. The colorful Visitors Guide made its debut in 2019 with an initial print run of 100,000 copies.
