The goal of these marketing efforts is to enhance the employment opportunities and economic prosperity of the region. Our members benefit from the Bureau's marketing programs by gaining direct access to the visitor market. In the fall of 1994, it officially became an independent organization, though a strong working relationship with the Chamber continues.
Policy making is vested with the board of directors.
The goal is to fill the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, Seattle Center and all other venues and hotels that can host meeting business. The Confidential Convention Digest is produced by the department for use by Bureau members to market their goods and services directly to convention meeting planners. In addition, it provides a consumer reservation service for individual visitors shopping for hotel accommodations in Seattle and King County. Sales leads are generated for follow-up by Bureau members to market their products and services directly to domestic and international tour operators, travel agents, and corporate incentive travel planners. The division provides promotional materials and resource information to members, meeting planners, and others who contact the Bureau for information.
