National Council of Attractions (NCA)

Established in 1976, the National Council of Attractions (NCA) unites Attraction Industry professionals from across the nation and from every type of attraction.  The NCA serves members by:

  • Provide educational programming for professional development
  • Serve as a conduit between attractions and the industry as a whole
  • Increase awareness of the economic impact of attractions

The NCA holds an annual meeting once a year to install new officers and to discuss program plans related to the Attractions Industry. In between formal NCA meetings, the Board of Directors and working committees meet regularly to carry on the business, programs and services required by NCA and the Attractions Industry.

The National Council of Attractions (NCA), operates within the organizational framework of the U.S. Travel Association. The specific activities of NCA are directed by a chair and vice chair who are elected annually by the NCA Board of Directors and membership. The NCA chair is also a member of the U.S. Travel Association Board of Directors providing a voice for attractions at the national level.  

Who is a member of NCA?

Any member of U.S. Travel whose organization meets the following definition of an attraction shall automatically be a member of NCA: "An attraction offers an experience or a variety of experiences within a destination or place and makes a specific effort to attract visitors."
