About the St. Tammany Parish Tourist & Convention Commission
The St. Tammany Parish Tourist and Convention Commission is a public, quasi-governmental agency. Created on Nov. 18, 1976, by an act of the Louisiana Legislature, the commission is governed by a seven-member board of directors appointed by the St. Tammany Parish Council. In other destinations, our organization may be called a Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) or Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB).
Our Mission:
To market and promote St. Tammany Parish as a highly desirable destination for visitors and thereby increase the economic impact of tourism on the area.
The STPTCC has been recognized with top awards from the Louisiana Travel Association, City-County Communications & Marketing Association, and the Southeast Tourism Society, which covers a 12-state region and represents hundreds of destination marketing organizations. We are fully accredited by the globally recognized Destination Marketing Accreditation Program (DMAP).
The official visitor center for the parish, the office is located in Mandeville on Highway 59 just north of Interstate 12 (Exit 65). Stop by to pick up a visitor guide, brochures, and information about attractions across Louisiana. Be sure to stretch your legs on the surrounding boardwalk; the center was erected over a native swamp filled with trees, bushes, and plants native to Southeast Louisiana.
In support of social distancing measures, the Visitor Center is open with masks and social distancing required while Louisiana is in Phase Two of the state's reopening plan.
