TEXAS MEETINGS AND CONVENTIONS: BIG VARIETY MEETS BIG VALUE
德克萨斯会展情况:兼具多元化与高品质
In today’s economic environment, meeting planners are looking for new ways to get the right meeting destination at the right price. While Texas’s big cities have been a premier destination for years, meeting planners are now discovering untapped opportunities in the state’s second- and third-tier markets.
在当今的经济环境下,会议策划者纷纷绞尽脑汁以新颖的方式和经济实惠的价格,谋求以满意的价格在满意的地方举行会议。多年来,德克萨斯州的大都市始终是会议策划者的首选,如今,他们正在二、三线城市挖掘全新的机遇。
“The secret to a successful meeting is location,” said Julie Chase, Chief Marketing Officer for the Texas Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism Division. “Texas offers some of the best choices for meetings and conventions in the United States. From large cities with first-class convention facilities to smaller towns with bed-and-breakfasts, historic country inns and guest ranches that cater to meetings, Texas offers a destination to meet the needs of every type of meeting and convention. If you want to make your dollars go further, you can’t go wrong with the Lone Star State.”
德克萨斯州州长办公室经济发展与旅游部的首席营销官朱莉?契斯表示,“成功会议的秘诀就是会议地点。”“德州提供美国首屈一指的最佳会议场所。从大城市一流的会议设施到小城镇的住宿餐饮以及配备会议设施的历史名城旅店和度假牧场,满足多样性的会议需求。如果您希望物超所值,孤星之州将成为您的不二之选。
