Queens Community Board 6 serves as a vital liaison between local residents, businesses, and city agencies in Forest Hills and Rego Park, actively contributing to the community’s cultural and civic fabric. While not a tourism service provider in the traditional sense, the board plays a supportive role in hospitality and tourism by advocating for neighborhood beautification, facilitating cultural and public events, and supporting local attractions that draw visitors and enhance quality of life. The board collaborates with city departments to ensure public spaces such as parks, transportation infrastructure, and commercial corridors are well-maintained and welcoming, which benefits both residents and tourists.

Queens CB6 is instrumental in providing community input on land use proposals, liquor license applications for dining establishments, and resource allocations, all of which have direct implications for the hospitality landscape. Their promotion of local initiatives and responsiveness to constituent concerns contribute to a safer, more vibrant neighborhood, ultimately making it more appealing to visitors. Through public meetings and community partnerships, the organization encourages civic engagement and represents the collective voice of a culturally diverse and historically rich area of Queens.
