269-260 Meeting Event & Marketing Incentive Vendor
Statewide RFP for a Meeting & Event Marketing Incentive Program Vendor
Request for Proposals
Description
This RFP is issued for the Iowa Economic Development Authority's Iowa Tourism Office to seek proposals from bidders to develop, implement and administer a Meeting & Event Marketing Incentive Program, designed to stimulate business travel, sports, meetings, conventions, conferences and group travel in Iowa. The program should leverage public and private partnerships and be an effective marketing and sales tool for Iowa entities to attract groups, sporting events, meetings, conventions, etc. to the state.
The pandemic has inordinately impacted the meeting, convention, event and sports tourism market. Nationally, Q4 2021 group bookings remain 26% below 2019 levels and are expected to remain suppressed throughout 2022 (U.S. Travel Association). Therefore, this program should directly address the challenges of slow-to-return business travel and mid-week slumps at lodging facilities.
