Q A Q A
Q A
: Why should planners choose Salina?
: Hospitality - we love having meeting delegates in Salina! : What unique services does Visit Salina offer planners?
: Service! Our bureau is small, but we have resources in our community and one of them being lots of volunteers. We serviced two conventions in town, one was around 1,200 people and other was around 750. In order to pull off these two conventions simultaneously, we needed helped with registrations for the conven- tions, moderators, coordinated receptions, and we did special planning for extra curricular events off site. There is a number of services we do to make the meeting planner look like a star.
: What unique experiences are available in Salina?
: Salina is home to Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure, a large zoo and museum on the rolling prairie hills. Home to a 64,000 sq. ft. museum, it is quite possibly the largest stand alone taxidermy exhibit in North America. Inside, you experience animals from all around the world in life-size realistic settings. There is a dome the- ater that envelopes guests with an informative experience about Earth. In addition, attendees can take a tour of a lavender farm and learn how lavender grows and is harvested. The Historic Downtown Lee District is home to the Salina arts, including Sculpture tour, studios and Art Center Cinema with thought provok- ing movies not typically available at the local multiplex. The meeting planner is the star. When they have a good experience their del- egates have a good experience.
