Tourism offices

Staunton

2 organizations market this independent city. Every contact below was checked against the organization’s own website in September 2026.

Shenandoah Valley Travel Association (SVTA)

Phone
1-800-VISIT-SV (1-800-847-4878)
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.

Where it says it works

Staunton, VA. The site markets the City of Staunton as a destination in the Shenandoah Valley near Shenandoah National Park; it publishes no wider service territory.

Verification note

Brand is "Visit Staunton"; the state's "Staunton Convention and Visitors Bureau" survives only on the media page, where the CVB is described as part of the City of Staunton. PHONE: the general public number is the Staunton Visitor Center at 35 South New Street, (540) 332-3971. The state's (540) 332-3865 is Samantha Johnson's direct media line, and her johnsonsj@ci.staunton.va.us address is published only as a media contact, so no general email is recorded. Visitor center hours are Mon-Wed 10-3, Thu-Sat 10-5, Sun 12-5, closed Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's. Virginia confirmed - Staunton VA, not Staunton, IL.
