12 What Is the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau? How Is It Related to the San Francisco P eninsula?
The San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is a destination marketing organization (DMO) created in 1971 as a 501 (c) (6) by SMC hotel owners and managers responsible for attracting convention, business, international, and leisure visitors. In 2001, a TBID funding model was adopted (4 th
district in U.S. to do so). ‘The San Francisco Peninsula’ branding strategy was launched in 2022. In 2023, it began the process of converting its District from the ‘89 to ‘94 Act. Assessment Fees (.$15 - $1.00) paid by Hotel Guests have not increased since 2001.

0.75% (Group B) for all others compares very favorably:
• San Francisco: 2.5% (hotels near Moscone Center); 1.3125% for all other hotels (Assessment + ConventionCenter Tax)
• Oakland: $1.50/room night + 3% (Assessment + Measure C) • San Jose: $1.00-$3.00 +4% (Assessment + ConventionFacility Fee) • Sacramento: 2%-4%
• Current San Mateo CountyTBID: $0.15 - $1.00/room night.
The amount charged to guests has not increased since 2001, thus the annual CVB budget has remained flat growing only when hotel rooms are added to the market.
