# Visit Salt Lake > Visit Salt Lake is the official destination marketing organization (DMO) and convention & visitors bureau for Salt Lake County, Utah. We provide trip-planning information for leisure travelers, meeting and event planners, sports rights holders, and the travel trade — covering things to do, places to eat and stay, events, neighborhoods, and the surrounding mountain resorts. Salt Lake is where the Wasatch Mountains meet a walkable, transit-connected city — home to "the Greatest Snow on Earth," Temple Square, the Great Salt Lake, and easy access to multiple ski resorts within 40 minutes of the airport.
