Destination Profile about Chicago city. (Hospitality Assignment)

A2: Destination Profile about Chicago city. (Hospitality Assignment)

Part One: (Submit to web courses, bring assignment notes to class)
Students will be assigned a competitive M&C destination. Research the destination and tell me what makes that destination a good choice for meetings and conventions?
Then research the DMO:
– What’s their name?
– How are they funded? Are they a Public/Private Partnership (PPP)?
– What services do they provide their supplier members?
– What services do they provide to meeting and event planners?
Part Two: Now that you are familiar with the DMO for your destination, think like a meeting/event planner, planning a convention for a group of 5,000. Research and evaluate the following:
Transportation:
Airport(s) – name and proximity
Ground transportation
Convention Center, how big, location?
Hotels – what types? How many rooms in the city? What’s the proximity to convention center?
Unique Event Venues? – List 5
Attendees – what can they do while they are there?
Would you select this destination for your program? What if your program was bigger? 10,000, 30,000, 50,000? Why/why not?
