CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS (News Release) – Visit Corpus Christi, the official destination management organization for Corpus Christi, announces the completion of its annual independent organizational audit. Adamson and Company, a leading auditing firm in South Texas, conducted the clean audit. For the fourth year in a row, the audit has resulted in a clean opinion, affirming the organization's commitment to financial integrity and transparency.

The audit confirms our trust in VCC and its role in showcasing the Coastal Bend to the world."
