Huntingdon County Visitors Bureau Partnership

Get to Know Us

The Huntingdon County Visitors Bureau is the official designated and mandated tourism promotion agency for Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The Raystown Lake Region of Pennsylvania serves as its brand. HCVB designs and launches strategic marketing initiatives that will result in increased visitation to the county. HCVB is a 501 (c)(6) non-profit corporation headquartered in the Raystown Lake Visitor Center at 6993 Seven Pts Rd, Hesston, PA 16647.

HCVB receives 96% of Huntingdon County's Hotel Excise Tax revenue, which funds its development and promotion of tourism assets within the region. Public funding makes up approximately 60% of the annual budget of HCVB. The remainder comes from partnership investments from businesses and organizations, visitors guide ad sales, a small retail operation located in the visitor center, and cooperative advertising and promotions with area businesses.

HCVB is controlled by an all-volunteer board of directors representing a variety of businesses and organizations with interests in the county's tourism industry. HCVB employs a full-time executive director, 3 full-time and 1 part-time staff members. HCVB has a partnership arrangement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to operate the Raystown Lake Visitor Center welcome counter and Raystown Reflections Gift Shoppe.

HCVB is a partnership-based organization. Its dues-paying partners are the point of first referral when the office receives inquiries for information. HCVB partners represent all facets of tourism businesses and tourism supporters: lodging, attractions, dining, shopping, events, services, associations, industry and more.

We hope you'll recognize the value of partnering with HCVB to help promote and grow your business! Please reach out to 814-658-0060 ext. 14 or info@raystown.org for more information.
