The Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (BACVB) drives tourism in Manatee County through targeted marketing and initiatives funded exclusively by the 6% Tourist Development Tax, and reviewed by the Tourist Development Council, with approval by the Board of County Commissioners. This tax, increased by voter approval in November 2024, is applied to overnight stays in short-term accommodations in Manatee County. The BACVB collaborates closely with Bradenton-Sarasota International Airport to boost visitor traffic to the area, as well as oversees two key sub divisions: Arts & Culture, which highlights local artistic and cultural attractions, and the Film Commission, which supports film production in the county.

Our humble beginnings date back to a Georgia textile mill and a simple act of kindness. One day, a worker’s hard-earned savings spilled from the hem of her dress after it became entangled in factory machinery. Taking notice, an executive offered to secure her money in the company vault and pay her interest—a service soon extended to all workers at the mill in 1888. Their deposits marked the beginning of the company that would become Synovus.
