PASADENA CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
INTRODUCES PASSKEY AS ITS ONLINE HOUSING SYSTEM
PASADENA, Calif. – To make meeting in Pasadena even more convenient, the Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) has selected the Passkey reservation system to handle its group housing requests. The Pasadena CVB will offer Passkey as a complimentary service to groups using two or more Pasadena hotels with 400 room nights on peak.
The Passkey system provides valuable incentives to all involved in the group housing process. Planners holding their events in Pasadena will be able to:
- Offer attendees the convenience of booking their hotel rooms online in the contracted block.
- Connect event registration directly to hotel reservations through RegLink.
- Access real-time pick up and pace reports to maximize in-block bookings and minimize book-arounds and attrition.
- Receive Smart Alerts™ notifying them of critical milestones.
- Communicate with event attendees prior to arrival via e-mail blasts.
“We are thrilled to be a member of the Passkey family,” said Pasadena CVB Executive Director Nan Marchand. “Pasadena is a renowned destination and we are proud to offer the industry’s leading online group reservation system to our clients and their attendees.”
Housing is just one of the many services provided by the Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau. From free assistance with booking meeting space and hotel rooms to site selection, promotional materials and much more, the Pasadena CVB offers one-stop shopping for meeting planners.
Located 11 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena is a dynamic city offering 2,500 hotel rooms, endless shopping, 500 restaurants, 14 museums and gardens, and world-class entertainment. The recently expanded Pasadena Convention Center features a new 55,000-square-foot exhibit hall, new 25,000-square-foot ballroom, 29 breakout rooms and the renowned 3,000-seat Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
