Company History
The Greater Columbus Convention & Visitors Bureau was incorporated in 1941 as a private, non-profit organization to promote Columbus as a convention destination. In June 2003, the GCCVB started doing business as Experience Columbus in an effort to make the organization and its core missions more identifiable to local residents, leisure travelers and convention and meeting professionals.

One of the top five most walkable cities to visit in the nation is COLUMBUS!? YES! ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

USA TODAY 10Best has named our city as one of the most walkable in the country! Here's what they had to say:

"Columbus is home to a bevy of walkable neighborhoods, from the Short North Arts District where galleries and coffee shops are plentiful, to the University District, home to The Ohio State University, the Gateway Film Center, and eateries galore. Consider a stay at the Residence Inn or the high-end Hotel LeVeque in the downtown area, which is especially walkable with its numerous museums, concert venues, and restaurants in close proximity."
