The Cocoa Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), a council of the Cocoa Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, is dedicated to the promotion to the tourism industry in the Central Brevard Area.

How does tourism work for your business?

• Visitors pay a significant portion of the taxes collected in Brevard County.
  Direct visitor spending is $1.1 billion annually, representing approximately 13.5% of all taxable sales in Brevard County.
• Visitors have a positive impact on our economy
  Total economic impact of tourism for Brevard County in 2003 was $2.0 billion.

In addition to the visitors' direct contribution to our community, directly or indirectly, tourism accounted for approximately 34,650 jobs and more than $378 million in wages in 2003.
