The Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau is charged with administering tourism programs for the City of Flagstaff and receives an allocation of 30 percent of the BBB tax collected.

Visitor Center
The Flagstaff Visitor Center opened in the Historic Train Station in 1994. Until March of 2003, it was operated by the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce, and funded by the City of Flagstaff. The Flagstaff Tourism Commission sought an expanded mission for the Visitor Center and determined the operation would be more cohesive under the direction of the Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Visitor Center was successfully transitioned to the CVB in the spring of 2003 with existing staff becoming city employees.
