The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp brands, sells and markets Nashville as Music City to the world as a premier entertainment destination for travelers who seek authentic and unique leisure and convention experiences. The hospitality industry is a crucial economic engine for Nashville and the state. From the city`s world-renowned honky tonks to the rise of our dining, fashion and sports scene, the world has taken note of Music City`s authenticity, creativity, and Southern hospitality. With convention business as the backbone of our sales activity, our sales staff consistently exceeds aggressive sales goals. Thanks to the Music City Center and Gaylord Opryland Resort, Cvent consistently names Nashville as a top meeting destination. Hotel construction is at a record pace with thousands of projected hotel rooms being added in the next few years. The NCVC produces the city`s two largest, one-day events on July 4th and New Year`s Eve. Both events sell thousands of hotel rooms and generate millions of dollars in direct visitor spending. The NCVC works closely with the City of Nashville and the Mayor`s Office, and we are governed by a volunteer board made up of outstanding community leaders. Our work is guided by the principles laid out in the Music City Brand Promise: The Promise of Nashville — where music is inspired, created, recorded and performed – is to provide the ultimate musical entertainment experience, celebrated throughout our diverse creative, cultural and entertainment offerings, and presented in an authentic, unique, friendly and unpretentious atmosphere. Nashville`s hospitality industry has been on a record-breaking streak of growth in hotel rooms sold and hotel taxes collected for the past decade. The direct impact of the hospitality industry in Nashville is $7 billion annually with more than 16.1 million visitors who came in 2019. Nashville has been named a top global destination by major travel publications.

Built in 1914, Union Station opens her arms with 850,000 square feet of amazing space that originally featured 900 rooms. In her prime as a working train station, she accommodated hundreds of thousands of passengers each year. During WWII, an estimated one million travelers – many of them soldiers -- passed through the Station. The North Waiting Room (now Sprint Festival Plaza) held 10,000 people and the complex included restaurants, a cigar store, barber shop, railroad offices, the nation`s largest Railway Express Building (used for shipping freight and mail) as well as a powerhouse providing steam and power. So many stories of farewells, reunions and of day-to-day vibrancy still echo in her walls. Just listen . . . Closed in the 1980s, our Station sat empty and neglected, narrowly escaping demolition on several occasions. Then, in 1996, a historic bi-state initiative was passed to fund the Station`s renovation, which was completed in grand fashion in 1999. Union Station is once again a majestic and desired destination for our surrounding communities. She is at once, magical, warm, casual, elegant, full of surprises and wise from experience but young at heart. Union Station draws tourists from all over the world who marvel at her Grand Hall`s 95-foot ceiling, three 3,500-pound chandeliers and the six-foot wide clock hanging in her central arch. She wakes up early and stays up late to host business meetings, recognition events, weddings and parties of all sorts. And that`s just the beginning . . . Just as you could 100 years ago, you can still catch the train at Union Station`s AMTRAK STOP and head out across the country. You`ll also find a permanent rail exhibit called the KC RAIL EXPERIENCE, exhibit spaces for traveling exhibits produced by the Smithsonian, National Geographic and other international organizations, a PLANETARIUM, an interactive science center SCIENCE CITY and a vibrant Theater District featuring GIANT-SCREEN MOVIES, LIVE THEATER, and so much more.
