MTCVB Wins 2008 Gold Service Award
Presented by Meetings & Conventions Magazine
Secaucus, NJ, July 21,
2008 - The Metropolitan Tucson Convention & Visitors Bureau is proud to announce that Meetings &
Conventions magazine has awarded the MTCVB the prestigious 2008 Gold
Service Award for outstanding service to meeting professionals.
This year the readers of M&C awarded 77 domestic and 13
international CVBs with the Gold Service award distinction. Relying on their
extensive industry experience in both corporate and association markets, M&C's
readers made selections based on key criteria including: professionalism of
staff; support on hotels and site inspections; assistance with ground
transportation planning; guidance on local attractions; and liaison with local
vendors and services.
"It's an honor to be
recognized by meeting planners from around the United States as one of the best
CVBs in the country," said Richard Vaughan, MTCVB Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. "Our staff is passionate and dedicated to delivering outstanding and
memorable service for every group we host in Tucson."
A dedication to quality service is the key to maintaining customers and is also
the key to winning Meetings & Conventions' Gold Service Award. This
prestigious award honors Convention & Visitors Bureaus that have excelled
in professionalism and dedication in their service to meeting professionals.
"To continually provide quality service to clients sets these superior bureaus
apart. All our Gold Service winning CVBs know the value of creating a lasting
impression can never be understated," said Bernard W. Schraer, Meetings
& Conventions' Group Publisher. "The 2008 Gold Service winners
continually excel in many valuable areas of service, impressing not only their
clients but also the demanding readers of M&C." Schraer adds, "Our
entire staff joins M&C's readers in honoring these outstanding CVBs
who continue to focus on effective working partnerships with meeting
professionals."
The MTCVB and other winning CVBs will be featured in Meetings &
Conventions' Gold Awards issue published this November.
The MTCVB is an independent, non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting the Tucson area as a convention, visitor and film
production destination. It is
financially supported by the City of Tucson, Pima County, the Town of Oro
Valley and its nearly 800 individual and business members.
