| (Santa Barbara, Calif.) � April 26, 2007 - Elite Meetings International
announces the launch of Elite Meetings magazine, a brand-new publication
that takes the guesswork out of meeting planning by presenting an exclusive
collection of North America�s top hotels and resorts for destination meetings
and incentive travel. Elite Meetings magazine is the only publication of
its kind focusing on the upscale, group market and features properties
endorsed by the Elite Meetings Advisory Board�a team of key players in
the corporate meeting planning and hospitality industries.
The premier issue of Elite Meetings magazine was distributed to over 43,000 meeting, incentive, and event decision-makers this week, including: corporate planners, medical planners, association planners, and meeting management companies. Showcasing group-specific details in an easy-to-read layout, Elite Meetings magazine provides meeting planners with key property facts at-a-glance, including:
Another interactive component of EliteMeetings.net allows hotels to post group value dates they are looking to fill throughout the year. Plus, planners can submit reviews and ratings of the properties where they�ve held events. This gives other users an exclusive inside scoop on each venue. �The magazine and the Web site were borne from the realization that
no comprehensive resources existed for planners in search of the top venues
for meeting and incentive travel,� notes Kelly Foy, president and CEO of
Elite Meetings International. �Elite Meetings� goal is to provide planners
with resources designed to connect them with the perfect property for their
group event. We also aim to build a community where meeting planners can
share input based on their experience and provide feedback and time-saving
tools for others using the Web site.�
