Learn More About Visit Corpus Christi 

Visit Corpus Christi's vision is to become the Gulf Coast Capital for year-round experiences and events. Our mission is to strengthen our community by sharing Corpus Christi with the world.

Visit Corpus Christi is a 501c6 Destination Management Organization contracted by the city of Corpus Christi with a mission to strengthen our community by sharing Corpus Christi with the world. The organization is primarily funded through Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) paid by visitors while staying overnight in hotels and short-term rentals.

Visit Corpus Christi also has a non-profit foundation that supports the hospitality and tourism industry via education programs, raising and providing funding to individuals and businesses during times of need through the Visit CC Cares program.
