Cambridge Office for Tourism

The Cambridge Office for Tourism is responsible for all destination marketing, public relations and visitor services for Cambridge. For more than 30 years it has served as the city’s central hub for tourism marketing and visitor information, and it operates the Visitor Information Center in the heart of Harvard Square. The office promotes the city’s many attractions and cultural amenities to a wide audience.

That audience includes residents, students, leisure travelers and business and meeting planners, reached both nationally and internationally, with the goal of creating a stable and consistent positive economic impact on Cambridge. The office is organized as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, funded primarily through grants from the City of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, along with assessments on Cambridge hotel rooms.
