A helpful feature is the inclusion of local travel and entertainment profiles. These guides will give you direct access to listings of restaurants, maps, and historic sites for meeting attendees. Convention center sites also detail technical capabilities and service offerings and often include a link to the local convention bureau. Here are some of the rich assortment of resources that you may encounter on CVB sites. In many cases, you can read comprehensive details, evaluate seating capacity charts, and view floor plan diagrams for local convention centers.
Some sites also offer online pictures and three-dimensional walk throughs.
Hotels and other venues. Many CVB sites provide brief descriptions of local hotels and direct links to hotel Web sites. A few CVBs offer online housing services for citywide events. Meeting delegates for selected events can book hotel rooms through the CVB Web site rate negotiated for the convention. Just about all CVB Web sites offer information or links to restaurant, entertainment, and tour options for the destinations that they serve.
