  • From the President Awards & Recognitions Tourism Marketing Convention Development Marketing Partner Program Emarketi
    WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT AWARDS & RECOGNITIONS TOURISM MARKETING CONVENTION DEVELOPMENT MARKETING PARTNER PROGRAM EMARKETING MEDIA RELATIONS VISITOR SERVICES GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS BOARDWALK HALL CONVENTION CENTER The Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority 2314 Pacific Ave Atlantic City Nj 08241 www.atlanticcitynj.com ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL REPORT There’s no doubt that 2008 can be summed up in two words: “exciting” and “challenging” for Atlantic City. It was exciting because of all the new developments that opened during the year, increasing our room inventory and providing additional activities and attractions for our visitors. It was challenging because of the many changes on the competitive horizon and evolving with an economy that made it more important than ever to form alliances and promote the city’s non-gaming attractions. Billions of dollars of investment in the city came to fruition in 2008. Approximately 3,000 new hotel rooms opened, giving the city the critical mass of hotel rooms needed to catch the attention of conventions and meetings that didn’t previously consider Atlantic City. The additional rooms also put us on the radar for transportation providers looking to expand service and routes. That’s exciting. It energized the community as a whole, and created lots of buzz in the media. The economic climate that affected the convention industry nationally also challenged us locally, although the impact was significantly less than in other areas of the country. Atlantic City’s popularity as a convention city, coupled with its strategic location that benefits the regional meetings market, bodes well for future bookings. Our environmental efforts at the Convention Center led to an invitation to be a founding member of the prestigious Convene Green Alliance.
