There are two types of membership within the Ludington Area CVB, Associate and Assessing membership.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
Non-lodging businesses or individuals are eligible for Associate Membership. Dues are $200 per year.
ASSESSING MEMBERSHIP
All lodging facilities qualify as CVB assessing members which means there are no annual dues. By joining, lodging facilities are required to charge a 2% assessment fee on all short-term (under 30 days) room rentals. The 2% assessment fee is paid to the Ludington Area Convention & Visitors Bureau through an independent accounting firm. Lodging facilities with 10 or more units for rent are required by Michigan State law to be members of their local Convention & Visitors Bureau. Lodging facilities with less than 10 units may decide to opt in as an assessing member. However, once they become an assessing member, it is a binding agreement and they may not opt out.
We are delighted that you are considering membership to become part of our effort to promote travel and tourism in Ludington & Mason County. Please do not hesitate to call us at 231-845-5430 ext.104 if you have questions. To request a membership packet, email your request to sarak@ludington.org.
