Our Visitor Guide is one of our widely distributed marketing tools that features hotels, event venues, restaurants, and other attractions for potential visitors. The Top of WV website reaches thousands of online visitors annually who turn to us as experts on activities and recommendations in Brooke and Hancock Counties.

Optimize Your Business

The Top of WV CVB distributes a monthly newsletter to keep our partners up to date on events and news in the region. We want to share your brand’s story with potential visitors, but we want the community to know about your successes, too! 

Through our educational sessions, roundtables, and workshops, we help our members develop the tools they need to keep updated on industry trends, optimize their advertising, and offer the best quality service. We also offer technical and creative assistance for our members upon request.

 

Grow Your Network

Membership with the Top of WV CVB connects you to other local businesses and potential collaborators through our networking events and partner meetings. The annual membership meeting provides an opportunity to make contacts with business owners while recapping the last year’s progress.

Our network also extends to the various hospitality and tourism associations of which the Top of WV is a member. The involvement in these groups provides continuing education for our staff and information on travel trends, which we in turn share with our members.

When we work together, we’re working smarter to support the whole community.
