The San Francisco Travel Association has partnered with Convention Management Resources to offer San Francisco Travel Convention Housing – Powered by CMR®. Powered by CMR’s industry-leading software, CMR.ez®, the service will deliver a “uniquely San Francisco” customized housing experience for each participating convention that is based on local expertise and enhanced services, geared towards complementing the total San Francisco experience. The service will be available for events beginning July 1, 2012.
“Keeping the business local means more jobs in San Francisco, staff who intimately know San Francisco and its hotels, ability to personally meet and greet clients on site inspections, on-site support, and many other benefits,” said Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of San Francisco Travel. “By using our service, customers will be able to choose from a multitude of ‘value-added’ services to enhance their convention.”
“CMR and SF Travel have had a long history of mutually serving San Francisco conventions,” said Dave Goetz, co-founder and president of CMR®. “We are thrilled to take it to the next level by introducing a new housing service dynamic that will bolster the image of San Francisco as a world-class destination with unparalleled service and technology.”
