WHY CCTC?

Tourism means business! Central Coast Tourism Council (CCTC) is a non-profit, regional tourism marketing organization with a collaborative, all-volunteer board of tourism and hospitality professionals representing seven counties of the Central Coast since 1989. Our national and international marketing efforts are accomplishing collectively what individual tourism entities cannot do alone—promote the entire California Central Coast as a top destination in California and maximize our members’ tourism revenue.

CCTC is in official partnership with Visit California, supported by resources, marketing programs, and funds through its Tourism Marketing Grant program. Tap into the strength of the State’s marketing efforts.

OUr Mission

The mission of CCTC is to inspire and influence travel to the Central Coast of California. We do this by highlighting the Original Road Trip along Highway 1 and U.S. 101 through our own Visitors Map, co-ops, and digital campaigns.
