Partner with Visit Lake Charles

Partnership Resources

Our partners encompass all facets of the travel & hospitality industry in Calcasieu Parish. We're here to serve you from accommodations, dining and nightclubs, tours, and attractions to transportation, venues, and services! Visit Lake Charles' mission is to advocate for the tourism industry and promote Lake Charles/SWLA as a dynamic destination serving our visitors and community. So, when our local businesses thrive, tourism thrives too.

VLC works closely with the Louisiana Office of Tourism and the Louisiana Travel Association to provide and share additional resources.
