We enrich the lives of our residents and visitors by sharing the unique culture and humanity that is the Richmond Region.  We generate economic prosperity through tourism by attracting conventions, meetings, sports tournaments, and visitors and ensuring that all have an unforgettable experience. We enhance the quality of life for the people in our community by supporting the places that make the Richmond Region wonderful.  We strengthen local programs that drive tourism through our Richmond Region Tourism Foundation and we do all of this through a lens of diversity, equity and inclusion. The Richmond Region includes the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico and New Kent as well as the city of Richmond, the city of Colonial Heights and town of Ashland.
