How to make the most of your Travel Council Investment

Attend monthly CACVB Travel Council meetings! They are generally held from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm on the second Tuesday of each month at various investor sites in the Charleston area. Reminders are sent via post card and email regarding date, time, and location. These meetings are a terrific opportunity to "meet & greet," / network with your fellow Travel Council investors, as well as key CACVB staff members.

We encourage all investors to maintain a full supply of rack cards for the Visitor Center. This will increase your business' exposure to walk-up visitors. When your supply is getting low, our Visitor Services staff will notify you. Be sure to respond!

It is important for investors to review and respond to the Group Sales and Service leads each week. New leads are available for viewing each Friday afternoon on the Travel Council investor section of our web site. Remember that both new and archived leads are also available online 24-hours a day, 7-days a week in this same section. Please make sure to respond with proposals as soon as you see or receive any lead that applies to your business or property. For hotels, "real-time" sales leads are sent via e-mail directly to those properties that best fit the requirements the group planner is requesting.
