The "Tourism Team" is comprised of all entities involved in tourism - from the smaller family-owned operations to the large corporate entities - hotels, CVB's, attractions, receptive operators, campgrounds, city and state governments, and many more.

Anyone who is promoting tourism is a candidate to join MTC and enjoy the benefits and services membership affords!

As a member of the Missouri Travel Council, you become a visible part of the "Missouri Tourism Team". 

We're a voice for the entire tourism industry - and that voice is heard by the legislature to promote tourism funding. 

Our member's voices were heard in support of efforts like HB 188 in 1991 which significantly increased monies available for state advertising and provides funding for the valuable Cooperative Marketing Program.  That same voice was heard in the defeat of the effort to increase the state's minimum wage and other sate initiatives that would wreak havoc on the tourism industry.

As a member of Missouri Travel Council, you'll have ample opportunities for quality networking.

To begin with, every new member is provided a Mentor from a similar type business. The Mentor's main purpose is to guide you through your first year of membership by providing reminders of regional meetings, statewide events and updates on general tourism information.

This gives you access to information from the Missouri Tourism Commission, Missouri Association of Convention & Visitor Bureaus, Missouri Hotel & Lodging Association, Travel Federation of Missouri and regional tourism organizations throughout the state.
