The city has invested over $300 million in recent and planned hospitality developments including hotels, offsite venues, area attractions and a $25 million convention center renovation, scheduled for completion in August 2014.
In addition to the upgrades, groups can also enjoy what Albuquerque has always been known for: affordability, beautiful weather and scenery, a multitude of outdoor recreation activities, unique culture and heritage offerings that can't be found anywhere else, and of course, cuisine.
"We've worked hard to put together ingredients that are meaningful and useful to groups, based on their specific sizes," said Robert Enriquez, vice president of convention sales, services and sports for Visit Albuquerque. "This incentive offers meeting planners a fun way to tailor an experience that will be a perfect fit for their meeting."
