Celebrating Cincy's Inclusive Culture

Visit Cincy Inclusive Hospitality

Inclusive Hospitality is Visit Cincy's commitment to building and serving an environment where everyone, regardless of background, identity, or ability, feels a deep sense of belonging. It’s about fostering authentic connections, amplifying diverse voices, and ensuring accessibility and representation at every level of the Cincinnati and Hamilton County hospitality industry.

Inclusive Hospitality drives lasting impact. By intentionally supporting local businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities, we create pathways for economic growth and social equity. We are opening doors— and reshaping the way hospitality is experienced, ensuring that everyone who visits Cincy doesn’t just see the culture but truly feels it.

Inclusive Hospitality Community Development and Events Sponsorships

We are evolving and elevating our Vibe platform to set a new standard in Inclusive Hospitality, one that not only welcomes, but truly embraces and celebrates the diversity of our community and visitors. By weaving our region’s rich culture into every experience, through vibrant art, dynamic entertainment, and immersive multicultural storytelling, we invite visitors to engage meaningfully with the heartbeat of our community.

Visit Cincy partners with organizations whose events and initiatives align with our mission to elevate the region as a must-visit destination and drive economic impact through tourism and conventions. We offer sponsorships in the form of financial contributions, in-kind donations, or a combination of both. Sponsorships must align with the following principles:

  • Draw visitors to the region, generating economic benefits
  • Include events that result in hotel stays within Hamilton County
  • Foster local collaborations with the potential for regional or national opportunities
