Albuquerque, Unique as its Name

For over 40 years, the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce Convention & Tourism Department became a one of a kind destination marketing organization in the country. The Chamber is a market share destination with VISIT ABQ to promote Albuquerque as a preferred destination for meetings, conventions, trade shows, sporting events, and tourism and serves as the liaison between planners and the hospitality industry specifically to the Hispanic and Native American markets. Albuquerque is a minority city with unique culture and diverse communities. We celebrate our Hispanic and Native American cultural heritage at events like Mariachi Spectacular, Festival Flamenco, Lowrider Super Show, Native Guitars Tours and ¡Globalquerque! and more collaborative, and artist collectives dedicated to our rich culture.
