Becoming a Visit Indy Partner

From connecting with convention attendees and leisure travelers to customized listings in our publications that reach millions, our partners receive numerous benefits.

Creating awareness and reaching a new audience is great for the bottom line, but being a partner is much more than smart marketing. Visit Indy partner businesses directly support an industry bringing in $3.95 billion to Indiana each year and impacting more than 75,000 jobs locally.

What is Visit Indy?

As the official convention and visitors bureau for Indianapolis, it’s Visit Indy’s mission to increase city growth by strategically promoting the destination to leisure travelers, conventions, meetings and events.

With many amazing attractions, local businesses, world class tourism-related infrastructure and our famous Hoosier Hospitality, attracting visitors has never been easier.

Each year we attract more than 22 million people to the Circle City who get to enjoy and explore all that Indy has to offer, but that wouldn’t be possible without the support of our partners.
