The Baguio Convention & Visitors Bureau (BCVB), a private sector led, non-stock, membership-based organization, is tasked to promote tourism attractions, activities, and events of Metro Baguio. It is the marketing and promotions arm of the Baguio Tourism Council (BTC) and is under the umbrella group of the North Philippine Visitors Bureau.

BCVB is managed by a Board of Trustees headed by Mr. Anthony de Leon, Manager of Baguio Country Club, as Chairman, with Fr. Jess Hechanova, CICM, President of Saint Louis University as Vice Chairman. Also, the board includes men and women representing Baguio’s tourism-related sectors such as hotels, restaurants, schools, travel and tours, retailers, transport, media, flower industry etc.
