Who we are

The Visit Alamosa is a dedicated team of staff and board of directors who care deeply about Alamosa and the surrounding area. We strive to ensure your visit here is as full and rich as possible, and you will find that our down-home hospitality cannot be matched anywhere.

Visit Alamosa is the tourism marketing entity for Alamosa County. Visit Alamosa encompasses both the Alamosa Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Marketing District Board & Tourism Board, who are appointed by the Alamosa County Commissioners. Our organization is funded by a combination of two voter-approved taxes, the Marketing District Tax and Lodging Tax, both of which are paid by visitors to our hotels, RV parks, and short-term rentals.
