The Byron Visitor Centre Inc. is an incorporated association, run by a voluntary management committee, seven part-time paid staff and a team of volunteers in the Centre.  It occupies the old Stationmaster's Cottage in the centre of Byron Bay, and receives no institutional funding.  The BVC celebrated its 10th birthday in December 2007, a significant achievement for a self-funded organisation.

The BVC is a Level 1 accredited Visitor Information Centre with Tourism New South Wales and is the only one in Byron Shire.  No other entities, physical or internet-based, purporting to offer visitor or tourist information in Byron Shire, are accredited.  Look for the accreditation symbol, the yellow italic i on a blue background, when you need professional, impartial and accurate information.

The BVC is supported by a large membership base of businesses and individuals in Byron and surrounding areas.  Members listed on this website have indicated that they are properly accredited, insured and/or registered to run their businesses.  If you would like to enquire about membership of the BVC, please email memberships@visitbyronbay.com or telephone the Centre on 6680 9271 and ask for Melissa.
