The New dmo Visit Savannah The epitome of Southern hospitality and service
At leisure Savannah’s Historic Meetings District is lined with many boutiques, specialty shops, and art galleries. Other attractions in Savannah include 22 park-like squares, trolley tours, art and cultural museums, City Market, River Street, Forsyth Park, and numerous golf courses.
Both hip and historic, Savannah is a meet- ing planner’s perfect destination. It’s also a place for quality time, where groups can slow down, take in the scenery, and find inspira- tion, whether it’s meandering through the city’s historic squares or exploring the Savan- nah College of Art and Design’s lively campus. In Savannah, service is a way of life, and Visit Savannah is ready to show groups the true meaning of Southern hospitality. The end goal in everything Visit Savan-
nah’s Destination Services staff does is making meeting planners’ jobs easier. From booking audiovisual systems and catering services to planning itineraries for attendees, the staff can handle every detail of a meeting. Planners can also take advantage of familiar- ization tours and site visits to find the perfect accommodation, attraction, restaurant, or tour site, and those who can’t get away have
SavannahMeetings.com to make research and RFP submissions easy and painless. Sitting on the picturesque Savannah
