The Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau (CVVB), created in 2005 under the umbrella of the Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation (CAEDC), is the official Destination Marketing Organization serving Cumberland County. The CVVB exists to generate visitor volume and spending by attracting business and leisure visitors, meetings or conventions and events to Cumberland Valley. The CVVB is funded by a county lodging tax that is assessed on each overnight stay in Cumberland Valley.

The CVVB's mission is to promote Cumberland Valley as a tourist destination, attract visitors to the area, enhance the visitor's experience and promote overnight stays.

Since 2010, a portion of the county lodging tax has been used to enhance tourism assets in Cumberland Valley through funding programs. Due to decreased funding streams caused by restricted travel conditions surrounding COVID-19, these Tourism Funding programs are paused. CAEDC remains optimistic that Tourism Funding programs will reopen to partner applicants in the future.
