INTRODUCING DESTINATIONS INTERNATIONAL'S MEETINGS WEBSITE
Today, we announced the launch of our meetings website, meetings.destinationsinternational.org, which gives event organizers the tools and resources they need to make their events successful.
The meetings website is one of the ways Destinations International is working to drive awareness of the value convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs) deliver to the meetings and event industry.
Key features of the meetings website include:
- Case studies and articles on ways CVBs have helped make meetings and events successful.
- A Destination Finder Tool to help event organizers search for their next meeting destination by region, economic impact reporting capabilities and intellectual capital resources within the destination. It also links directly to a destination’s meeting website and CVB contact information.
- Interviews with event organizers on time-saving tips and how their relationship with their local CVB created enormous value in planning their corporate events.
