CVB Board of Directors
The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Convention & Visitors Bureau
The Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) serves as Moore County’s official tourism development authority, focused on promoting the area, supporting tourism-related businesses, and welcoming visitors. The CVB works to strengthen Moore County’s tourism brand with the ultimate goal of boosting the local economy while enhancing the quality of life for both residents and guests.
In 2023, Moore County ranked as the 10th largest tourism economy in North Carolina, bringing in $805 million in visitor spending — a 7.4% increase from the previous year!
Tourism plays a big role in our local economy, employing over 6,000 people in the hospitality industry, making it the county’s second-largest employment sector. It also brings major tax savings — tourism helped save each Moore County resident $532.10 in taxes, compared to the state average of $230.35. In total, visitor spending generated $26.1 million in local tax revenue and $30.8 million in state tax revenue. These numbers come from the “Economic Impact of Travel on North Carolina Counties 2023” report, available at: partners.visitnc.com/economic-impact-studies.
