Jcvb member partnerships

Member/Stakeholder Promise: We pledge to facilitate business opportunities to members and partners through increased visitor exposure, advocacy and education.

As a member-based organization, Visit Jefferson Parish partners with hotels, attractions, restaurants, venues, parks and outdoor facilities, transportation, and service providers working together to promote the destination. Visit Jefferson Parish is a resource and advocate for its over 200 members partnering year-round through promotion and marketing initiatives, and educational and professional development.

In partnership with Coca Cola Bottling, United, we launched the 2022 membership drive "Another Jefferson Favorite" with partners proudly displaying signage encouraging others to partner with Visit Jefferson Parish. Members also display signage touting "Proud Partner in Tourism."

A membership/stakeholder survey specific to benefits and views on tourism advocacy is deployed annually. Partner networking and meetings are hosted bimonthly encouraging members to partner on marketing opportunities, as well as providing industry updates and data.

The 2022 Annual Membership Meeting was held in October with the theme Level Up! Attendees gathered to celebrate industry accomplishments and to look ahead to emerging trends for 2023. We were honored to host Louisiana State Senator Patrick Connor as the guest speaker. The Visit Jefferson Parish team committed to "Leveling Up" its commitment to the partners and the destination, inviting attendees to join us.

The 2022 Virgie Ott Tourism Award was presented to Darren Martino, Division on Premise Sales Manager for Crescent City Coca-Cola Bottling Company for his outstanding leadership and enthusiastic dedication to the Jefferson Parish hospitality industry.
