The Troy Convention & Visitors Bureau was established in 2005 for the purpose of promoting the Troy area as a tourist location. As an arm of the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, the Troy Convention & Visitors Bureau is funded through a 5% accommodations tax that was established in November, 1998 by the City of Troy. In 2005 the City of Troy contracted with the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce to establish the bureau. The Bureau is staffed by Troy Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kerry Klump under the direction of the Troy CVB Board of Directors.
