Rubbing Planners the Right Way

Tourism Victoria in British Columbia is offering a new incentive for planners bringing group business to the Canadian city with a British flavor.

To show planners they understand how stressful and often thankless the job of a meeting planner really is, Tourism Victoria is offering planners who send a qualified RFP for a minimum of 50 room nights to Meetings@TourismVictoria.com by March 31, 2013, a $150 spa gift card for use at one of over 2,000 spas in North America that are part of the WaySpa.com network.

 “The idea behind this campaign is we are figuratively making meeting planners feel good, by mitigating the stress of planning their meeting in Victoria with our complimentary services, and making them look good to their client by ensuring a successful meeting,” says Heather McGillivray, director of sales at Tourism Victoria. “We are also literally making them look good and feel good with a much-deserved day at the spa.”

Located on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada, Victoria’s pristine natural surroundings—including the Pacific Ocean, old-growth forests and dramatic mountains—provide a photogenic backdrop for a meeting, conference or incentive program.
