About Us
Our Mission
Placer Valley Tourism's mission is to generate incremental room nights in hotels within PVT's geographic footprint . . . the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln, California.
We recruit a wide variety of events, from corporate to athletic to performing arts activities to our area.
We provide grants to some events, depending upon how many room nights they generate, and when they occur. Email Kim Summers for information on how to apply for a grant.
Our Purpose
The greater longterm purpose of Placer Valley Tourism is to advance the tourism industry in our region by advocating and assisting in the development of major tourism facilities and attractions, including large hotels, conference and convention space, sports tourism facilities, universities, major museums, and visual and performing arts facilities.

The Organization
South Placer Tourism, Inc., doing business as Placer Valley Tourism
(PVT), is a Business Improvement District (BID), incorporated in 2004
by the City of Roseville under provisions in the California Streets and
Highways Code Section 36500-36504, which is known as the "Parking and
Business Improvement Law of 1989". The organization is classified for
tax purposes as a 501(c)6.
The geographic footprint of PVT consists of the three cities of
Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln, California. PVT exists to market
the three-city region as a tourism destination in order to generate
incremental room nights in hotels in the cities.
Each hotel property within the footprint pays an assessment into
the BID for each paid room night in the respective hotel. In
Roseville, the assessment is $1.50 per each room night. In Rocklin
and Lincoln, the assessment is $1.00 per each room night.
