Los Angeles City Tourism Department

Mission and Vision

The Los Angeles City Tourism Department (CTD) advances policies and strategies to increase the competitiveness of Los Angeles as a premier convention and tourist destination. CTD works to help the City maximize the economic benefits derived from out-of-town visitors whose spending contributes to the growth of the local economy. The department oversees two public-private partnerships – one with the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board for destination marketing and the other with ASM Global for management of the Los Angeles Convention Center.
