About DuPage County and the DuPage Convention & Visitors Bureau

DuPage County is the second most populous county in Illinois after Cook County, which borders it to the north and east. Together, the two counties account for half of the state’s population. One of the nation’s wealthiest counties, DuPage is rich in many types of commerce and is second only to Cook in tourism revenue. With its well-developed highway and mass transit system, DuPage is easily accessible from both O’Hare and Midway Airports as well as the City of Chicago, a small portion of which and primarily a part of O’Hare Airport, is located within DuPage County limits.

The DuPage Convention & Visitors Bureau’s mission is to actively market DuPage County to individual travelers and meeting/event planners as an enticing destination for both business and leisure travel in order to enhance the economic fiber of the county. Established through the efforts of a coalition of DuPage area hotel executives and business representatives in 1987, the DuPage Convention & Visitors Bureau was formally certified in 1989 by the State of Illinois as the official agency to promote the county’s multi-billion dollar tourism industry and market DuPage County as a destination for visitors, conventions and economic development.
