CVBs provide valuable services and resources for event planners of all sizes and types of events. Contrary to common myths, CVBs assist with events of any size, not just large citywide conventions, and can direct leads to specific partners requested by planners. They also offer online services, satellite offices, and free assistance with tasks like site visits, promotions, and vendor referrals to help event planners succeed. While hotels are an important partner, CVBs represent the entire destination and can recommend unique non-hotel venues and experiences to enhance events.
