In the summer of 1987, the Calaveras County Lodging Association (CCLA) was formed. In 1991 it became the Calaveras Lodging and Visitors Association, to recognize the broader membership base that it had attracted since being formed by lodging owners in and near Calaveras County to improve the business climate for its members, and for all businesses that rely on tourism. In January 1997, the organization was renamed Calaveras Visitors Bureau (CVB) to have a name more recognizable to the travel industry and to the public.
The CVB is funded by the County of Calaveras and the City of Angels Camp through the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), and by the annual membership dues assessed of its Members.
The CVB coordinates nine Visitor Centers within the county. The main Visitor Center in Angels Camp is open 7-days a week, operates a state of the art automated 800-number information system, publishes a 48 page color Visitor’s Guide, provides 24-hour visitor information, issues monthly press releases on community events and attractions, and helps answer a myriad of questions about Calaveras County for visitors and residents alike.
