About the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau

The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau leads marketing and promotional efforts for The Outer Banks of North Carolina. Its work is financed through one percent of the occupancy tax and one percent of the prepared meals tax collected in Dare County. This page provides information about how the bureau serves Outer Banks partners and the thousands of visitors who stay in the area each year.

Building Inclusive Travel

Travel can help create more inclusive communities on the OBX and beyond by bringing cultures and commerce together through visitation. The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau is committed to promoting tourism fairly and equitably, welcoming people to the barrier islands without exclusion based on race, gender identity, physical ability, religion and beliefs.
