It’s not news that the economy has slowed meeting and convention bookings nationwide. Things are no different here in Grand Rapids.
But the Amway Hotel Collection (AHC)—the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, JW Marriott Grand Rapids, and Downtown Courtyard by Marriott—is generating some economic recovery of its own through meeting and travel stimulus packages. Through the end of the year, meeting planners booking events through 2012 can get incentives like free self-parking for overnight guests or special room rates and discounts on food and beverage. And AHC offers something not available any where else in Grand Rapids—1,100 rooms and a single host, making planning a meeting for 50 or 500 a breeze.
If your planning is more about a Labor Day getaway than a major meeting, Amway’s hotels are offering some sweet end-of-summer packages as well.
Grand Rapids is a swell place for a meeting or weekend trip. Even a Windy City reporter was wowed by Grand Rapids, calling our fair city an “ideal urban getaway” in a recent story.
And it’s a bargain, thanks to some economic stimulus plans.
