Incentives for convention organizers

No incentives for promoters and organizers = no conventions.

I have questioned for years who is going to fund these incentives that will be required, in a buyer’s market, to lure business to our Convention Center.

It is certainly not coming from Penn Square Partners. Does the PDCVB [tourist bureau] plan on funding this as well as the Convenetion Center marketing?

Do they expect the hotels to pony up the money? The City? The County?

An article from Forbes at is already four years old and is more applicable today than it was then:
