Marcus Hinz – Executive Director - Oregon Coast Visitors Assn (OCVA).
OCVA (in its 13th year) is a member driven association promoting the entire
Oregon Coast. There is no office, Marcus works alone from his home in
Oceanside and on the road. The 10-member board (President Sue Meyers –
Land’s End Cannon Beach) meets quarterly as does the Executive Board. Oregon
is divided into seven tourism regions. Each region has identified one
Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) to act as its Regional Destination
Marketing Organization. The RDMO partners with Travel Oregon (funded by
State Lodging Tax dollars) for the purpose of attracting visitors to their
specific region. OCVA is our RDMO – Regional Destination Marketing
Organization. Currently, of great interest to Cannon Beach, Marcus is
working on an Oregon Coast “Public Art Trail” which will be promoted on
their website – www.ThePeoplesCoast.com. OCVA publishes “The Official Oregon
Coast Visitors Guide” (www.VisitTheOregonCoast.com) from which it derives
some revenue. Dues are being restructured from the flat $500 to something
scalable that will be attractive to a wider range of businesses. The website
had 480,000 visitors last year and www.Facebook.com/ThePeoplesCoast has
56,000 likes. 541-264-0543 director at thepeoplescoast.com
