cational opportunities) available to them here.”
Garafano goes on to explain why Saratoga is ideal for those looking for a small meet- ing destination. "So many lodging venues, attractions and restaurants are within walk- ing distance of each other in our safe, vibrant downtown area.”
Additional properties are available within driving distance, and there are many local transportation options available. All of this accessibility means that Saratoga is an ideal destination for smaller groups who want to "own the town.”
There are many meeting space options in Saratoga, too,
including over 155,000
square feet of flexible meeting space with- in a very close proximity. "Everything from our newly expanded City Center, which anchors the north end of our downtown, to many exquisite and unique off-site venues for groups large and small,” notes Garafano.
The Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau is happy to work with planners vis- iting this destination by providing a num- ber of services that will ensure a successful visit for them. "We offer comprehensive meeting services to planners. From RFP facilitation for hotels, meeting space, trans- portation, off-site events and other services to site tour scheduling, pre-conference pro- motion and marketing support, plus on site support and logistics assistance.”
Activity options in Saratoga are never at a lull, and the Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau is happy to help facilitate and suggest options for planners looking for group activities or a unique off-site venue for dinner.
"Saratoga is certainly known for our world- class thoroughbred horseracing season from the end of July through Labor Day, but we are much more than that,” says Garafano. "We also have world renowned mineral baths and spas. National museums and galleries, such as the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, National Museum of Dance, Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery ("The Tang"), and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center are just a few of the many choices available, and each is great for off-site
