What is the Beaumont CVB and
Why the Localist?
The Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is a department within the
City of Beaumont whose main task is to promote Beaumont, Texas as a visitor and
meeting destination. We work with partners throughout the city including
museums, hotels, restaurants, venues, vendors, etc. to create experiences for
those visiting and meeting in Beaumont.
The Localist initiative is a way to bridge the gap between the visitor and the
community member and show how we (at the Beaumont CVB) love to brag about
Beaumont and all the amazing things there are to do. By joining the Localist,
residents can see the opportunities and be a part of sharing all there is to offer
while joining in on the fun and supporting local.
How to Social-ize
We’d love you to use your social media channels to positively promote Beaumont.
We always want your posts to be authentic and genuine. We’re not looking to
review businesses but rather raise awareness of all the amazing restaurants,
shops, attractions, events, and opportunities in Southeast Texas. We want to
share our experiences so others can emulate them with any details you think
would be helpful - where did you go, what did you do, what could you have done
nearby, what do you wish you would’ve known? If a place or employee deserves
praise, by all means, shout it from the rooftops, we’re just not here to put anyone
on blast or contribute to the negativity. There’s enough of that in the world
(especially online) and we're here to be the hype squad. Our only official Localist
hashtag is #GoBeau but feel free to use any others in addition that you think
would be relevant for discovery — #BmtTX, #EatBMT, #VisitBeaumontTX, etc.
What do you get for Participating
What you do and say matters. Our efforts at the Beaumont CVB are not enough
without the voices of the Localist speaking about the area. When you share your
experiences within the community, whether it be going to events, posting on
social media, content creation, submitting ideas, or simply showing up for
Beaumont, you can reach those in the community that we can't always get.
Through the Beau-Buck balance sheet, Localists will track their efforts in the
community to earn "dollars" to use for Beaumont swag from the Beaumont CVB.
The more you promote the area and use your voice, the more you win
