· Interactive Mapping—An integrated Google map displays selected venue locations, estimated distances, nearby attractions and public transportation routes.

The new site is mobile-friendly and content also includes hotel renovation news, group dining, green meetings and airport options. “L.A. Tourism understands the importance of the meetings industry and we’ve taken detailed measures to create a website that truly reflects a planner’s interests and desires,” said Darren K. Green, senior vice president of sales at the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board. “meetLA.com is designed to ensure we connect with, and provide an engaging platform for, all generations of the meeting community.”

LA’s citywide convention business is booming, with 33 conventions booked for 2016—the most for the city since 2001. This turnkey solution will make it simple for planners to research the city’s ever-growing hotel and venue options.
