About Oregon Tourism Commission

The Oregon Tourism Commission, legally established as the state’s destination marketing organization, operates TravelOregon.com to promote tourism statewide. It funds marketing campaigns, visitor guides, and regional partnerships to increase travel-related revenue. Commission members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate; budgets come from a percentage of transient lodging taxes. The commission also supports sustainable tourism development, rural economic growth, and outdoor recreation initiatives, working with local communities, tribes, and industry stakeholders to showcase Oregon’s natural landscapes, culinary experiences, and cultural attractions while ensuring long-term stewardship of the state’s resources.
