Saratoga Familiarization Tour Recap
The Saratoga hospitality community happily welcomed 14 meeting planners and their guests to Saratoga Springs for a late summer FAM – or Familiarization - tour. The tour kicked off on Thursday, 9/14 with the Meeting Planners International Northeast Chapter meeting highlighting contract negotiations. The group then reconvened at the National Museum of racing and Hall of Fame for a tour and delicious lunch. We then hopped on the Horsin’ Around Trolley for part one of our city tour that included attractions, hotels and the sights. The evening ended with a reception at Prime at Saratoga National Golf Club. Day two found us back at the Saratoga Springs City Center for breakfast before departing on the trolley again for part two of our city tour. We concluded our tour in time for guests to enjoy Saratoga’s charm and amenities – spa appointments, tee times and shopping were in demand! The SCTB would like to thank our hospitality partners for helping us put on a very successful FAM tour and to our guest who joined us for all or part of this educational and entertaining tour. A very special thank you to Leslie Miller and her fantastic team’s at the Residence Inn and Courtyard by Marriott for going above and beyond to showcase their properties, welcome our guests, and provide some much appreciated entertainment during our hotel stops on the trolley tour.
