HotelPlanner, an individual and group travel technology platform, has announced the nominees for the American Group Travel Awards (AGTA), a black-tie charity gala the company created to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
The philanthropic event will occur on Sunday, Nov. 12 at the Boca Raton Resort. This year’s theme “Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence” commemorates the 20th anniversary of HotelPlanner’s founding in 2003 as one of the first online travel sellers to specialize in group travel.
AGTA recognizes organizations and destinations that showcase the very best in group travel and hospitality. There are 10 award categories recognizing the best operators or destinations that service and deliver group travel experiences.
The 10 categories include Best Destinations for Sporting Events (nominees: Pheonix, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Boston) and Best Destination for Youth Sports (nominees: Orlando, Dallas, Atlanta, Cooperstown, N.Y., and Scottsdale, Ariz.)
“This year’s AGTA nominees represent the very best destinations, hotels, and hotel management companies across all major group categories,” says Tim Hentschel, co-founder & CEO, of HotelPlanner. “We will be actively encouraging voting to select the winners.”
