Group Tour Leads
Group friendly businesses have access to leads generated from trade shows attended by Visit Frederick staff members each year. When tour operators, meeting professionals, and wedding planners are looking for recommendations, they turn to Visit Frederick. These inquiries, as well as referrals from motorcoach trade shows, are shared with members, generating a potential pipeline for your business. The contact information of motorcoach tour operators interested in hearing from you can be accessed through the Extranet Member Portal.
Promote Special Offers
Our Special Offers page highlights time-sensitive deals and promotions offered by members, giving you a great platform to showcase what your business has to offer.
