The Metropolitan Tucson Convention & Visitors Bureau has again been named among the best destination marketing organizations in the world and has received the prestigious Pinnacle Award from Successful Meetings.

This is the 17th time the MTCVB has been honored.

The 2012 Pinnacle Awards are the mark of excellence for meeting destinations, hotels and conference centers. The awarded organizations have done an outstanding job servicing their meetings, incentive travel programs, trade shows and conventions during the previous year.

For over 27 years, the Pinnacle Award has earned a reputation as the most credible and prestigious symbol of excellence among meeting professionals and travel suppliers alike.

Readers of Successful Meetings – professionals who are decision makers for planning meetings, events, conferences, and incentive programs- voted for the winners of the Pinnacle Awards via online ballots and gave feedback based on their professional experiences worldwide for the top hotels, conference centers, and CVBs.
