The tourism industry is one of the leading economic drivers on the Oregon Coast.
The Oregon Coast Visitors Association (OCVA) is the official Regional Destination Management Organization (RDMO) for the entire Oregon Coast as designated by the Oregon Tourism Commission (dba Travel Oregon).
OCVA has the honor of working with coastal communities to align partnerships, destination development projects, and destination marketing with the vision of creating “an enriched coastal experience for all.” This includes coastal stakeholders, new and returning visitors, and the natural resources that make these coveted experiences so magical.
