Rockingham County
2 organizations market this county. Every contact below was checked against the organization’s own website in September 2026.
Rockingham County Office of Economic Development and Tourism (Visit Rockingham County)
- Phone
- 540-435-7775
- Website
- www.visitrockingham.com
- Contact
- Joshua Gooden, Economic Development & Tourism Coordinator
Where it says it works
Rockingham County, Virginia and its towns - Bridgewater, Broadway, Dayton, Elkton, Grottoes, Mt. Crawford and Timberville - plus McGaheysville and Massanutten; the county also markets the City of Harrisonburg jointly ('Rockingham County and the City of Harrisonburg are must-see destinations')
Verification note
The tourism site visitrockingham.com publishes NO phone, NO email and NO staff at all - it carries only a 'Supported by TDC Marketing' credit. The phone here is the county's Tourism office line (540-435-7775) from the county staff directory, which also confirms Joshua Gooden and his direct line 540-574-1896 (matching the file). EMAIL LEFT BLANK: the county exposes tourism contact only through an online form, so jjgooden@rockinghamcountyva.gov could not be confirmed. COVERAGE MATERIALLY BROADER THAN THE FILE, which says only 'Rockingham County': the county markets seven towns and jointly promotes the City of Harrisonburg, and directs visitors to the Hardesty-Higgins House Visitor Center in Harrisonburg (a City of Harrisonburg facility, open daily 9-5) plus a brochure rack at the County Administration Center, 20 E Gay Street, Harrisonburg.
Shenandoah Valley Travel Association (SVTA)
- Website
- visitshenandoah.org
Where it says it works
Bi-state Shenandoah Valley region. The About page says "Founded in 1924, SVTA is one of the oldest regional tourism promotional organizations of its kind in the United States," serving a "breathtakingly beautiful 200-mile region" that stretches from Harpers Ferry in West Virginia's eastern panhandle to the Roanoke area of Virginia. Members include destinations, attractions, lodging, restaurants, resorts, tourism offices and government entities across that multi-state territory.
Verification note
BI-STATE ORGANIZATION (Virginia and West Virginia) - flag for editors. The site publishes no email address at all; the state's svta@mysvta.org could not be confirmed and is left blank. No staff are named, so Helen Morton / Administrator is not carried over. The only published number is the vanity line 1-800-VISIT-SV, which dials to the (800) 847-4878 the state listed. COVERAGE CONFLICT: the organization describes its own southern boundary as "the Roanoke area," which reaches further south than the state's locality list (which stops at Bedford and Nelson counties); it also does not enumerate localities, so the state's 28-locality list is the state's construction, not the organization's claim.
