The Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau has received a 2012 Gold Service award from Meetings & Conventions Magazine.

A dedication to quality service is the key to maintaining customers, and is also the key to winning Meetings & Conventions magazine’s Gold Service Award. This prestigious award honors convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs) that have excelled in professionalism and dedication in their service to meeting professionals. This is the 24th time the MTCVB has received this honor.

This year, the readers of M&C awarded 84 domestic and 16 international CVBs and tourism boards with the Gold Service award distinction. Relying on their extensive industry experience in both corporate and association markets, M&C’s readers made selections based on key criteria. Criteria included: professional of staff; support on hotels and site inspections; assistance with ground transportation planning; guidance on local attractions; and liaison with local vendors and services.

Winners will be featured in Meetings & Conventions’ Gold Awards issues, published in November 2012.
