Destination DC

Destination DC.

Destination DC serves as the lead organization to successfully manage and market Washington, DC as a premier global convention, tourism and special events destination, with a special emphasis on the arts, cultural and historical communities.  Formerly known as the Washington, DC Convention & Tourism Corporation (WCTC), the organization was re-named in 2008 to reflect the organization’s increased emphasis on the city’s unique assets. The organization was established by business and community leaders in April 2001 by merging the Washington, DC Convention and Visitors Association and the DC Committee to Promote Washington. The Washington, DC Convention and Visitors Association was founded in 1931 to promote convention and leisure travel to the nation’s capital.
