About The CAPC


Our mission is to contribute to the economic growth of the area by developing and promoting Eureka Springs as a destination for leisure travel, meetings, conventions and events while enhancing our visitors' experiences.

We are funded by the residents of, and visitors to, Eureka Springs, Arkansas through a 3% sales tax on all prepared food, beverages and lodging.  We use those funds to advertise and promote the city of Eureka Springs. We also provide advertising and promotional support to our attractions, businesses, festivals, meetings and events that bring visitors to Eureka Springs.

The Commissioners created this site to provide access to our forms and marketing materials, as well as to help showcase some of the advertising and promotional materials our commission has helped produce and fund.

We meet at 6PM on the fourth Wednesday each month at the courthouse. The public is invited to attend, and our meetings are televised on Cox Channel 21.

We also hold workshops at the CAPC office at 4 PM on the second Wednesday of each month. The public is invited to attend.
