Resorts seem a little more willing to work harder because it's still a relatively new area for them. All told, the area's resorts offer more than a half million square feet of meeting space. For associations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, which is based in Chicago, azure pools and verdant golf courses are the only way to go when planning a meeting. The 1,500-member association has hosted learning meetings at resorts in St. Thomas, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Florida and Arizona. We want them to be able to enjoy some relaxation time in warm weather.
Nothing fits that bill as much as a resort meeting.
