The sour economy has triggered cuts in travel and meeting budgets so the Hilton Alexandria Old Town in Virginia just outside of Washington DC is using a novel approach to attract business.
The hotel is running a contest to find a meeting planner that needs help because of the pressure put on him or her in these rocky economic times. If your meeting is critical to stimulating future business for your company, good for the local Alexandria economy or if your organization has deep charitable roots then you could qualify to win a free two-day meeting or event at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town, according to the hotel's website.
The stories have to be in 1,000 words or fewer and they will be collected and judged with one winner selected prior to Nov. 30. The submission deadline is Oct 31.
We have seen many Washington, DC hotel promotions but we thought this one was noteworthy as they are looking to support the local economy.
