ACVB Partner Benefits
Internet Listing
It is the single most powerful marketing tool of the century. More and more consumers are tapping into the information available on the Internet. ACVB's website contains the most comprehensive information about Albuquerque for visitors, meeting planners, travel trade and media. All of ACVB's publications are duplicated in some form and can be found on ACVB's website.
The Internet Listing differs from the printed Visitor Guide listing. ACVB's website features all active marketing partners. Partners receive a 100-word listing, single graphic with special symbol, links to their website and e-mail addresses with special symbols, and a map for visitors to locate their business on ACVB's website FREE. When partners purchase additonal categories in the printed Visitor Guide, the additional categories purchased will be reflected on ACVB's website, but you must submit your 100-word text listing along with a single graphic for each additional category purchased.

The ACVB produces 420,000 visitors guides annually (spring and fall editions). These comprehensive guides are distributed via mail nationally and internationally. They are distributed within Albuquerque from two Information Centers: Historic Old Town, and Albuquerque International Sunport. Appropriate partners receive a free listing in this publication. Extended listings and additional categories are available for a nominal fee. Additional advertising opportunities are available within this publication through its publisher, Miscellaneous Publications. Also receive one free visitor guide per dollar of investment (at least 250).

Additional advertising opportunities are available within this publication through its publisher, Miscellaneous Publications. (505-924-1111 x106)
