Service experiences

“Your efforts provided APA with the ‘Nordstrom’ experience in third-party housing. This commitment to us was over and above the standard service level of most of our vendors.”

Cathy L. Nash, CMP, Director, Meetings and Conventions Department American Psychiatric Association

“Utilizing the services of Travel Planners has greatly improved the housing reservation process. It was nice to have a partner that actually works with you.”

Michael Packard, CMP, Manager, Meeting Services The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society

“For more than 40 years APPMA kept hotel contract negotiations and room block management in-house when Travel Planners was brought in to assist. We have worked closely on hotel room rate negotiations to secure very attractive rates...[and] have even been able to lock in multi-year rates. As a trade association with one annual show, we would not have the same leverage. Travel Planners also has helped with selling and maintaining the room blocks through targeted email to exhibitors and buyers. Our pick-up has increased because of these methods - up almost 30%. We plan to work with TP well into the future.”

Andrew Darmohraj, Senior Vice President & Deputy Managing Director American Pet Products Manufacturer’s Association

“Thank you for the tremendous job Travel Planners did with our housing. You took care of all my needs very promptly, and I appreciate your professionalism. I look forward to working with you next year.”

Leslie McGill, Executive Director California Police Chiefs Assn., Inc.

“Travel Planners is a true partner in the industry. Their professional staff work at unparalleled lengths for both the client and each individual hotel to ensure successful execution of their citywide housing programs.”

Julie Scheessele, Group Sales Director, Horton Grand Hotel San Diego

“Travel Planners makes increasingly complex relationships with hotels easy and manageable. They really do protect their client’s interests and I would not think of producing a tradeshow without Travel Planners handling our housing needs.”
