Last week, we had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with over 40 meeting planners, travel writers, and tour operators at VISIT FLORIDA Huddle & Encounter—hosted by our neighbors at Ocala/Marion County at the World Equestrian Center. We were excited to unveil our brand-new branding and engaging trade show booth, designed to showcase why Alachua County is a standout destination for meetings and group travel. A highlight of our booth was our sponsorship of the onsite barista, where attendees could stop by for a handcrafted latte while learning more about the experiences and venues that make our destination unique. A special thank you to our partner Erin Porter with the Gainesville Regional Airport - GNV, who joined us to highlight the convenience of flying into Gainesville and the partnership between the airport and our destination. Additionally, our local lodging partner, Sweetwater Branch Inn, participated at Huddle to connect with tour operators and showcase their Downtown Gainesville accommodations alongside curated off-site excursions in Alachua County. Looking forward to continuing these conversations and welcoming new groups to experience all that Alachua County has to offer! #MeetInTheMiddleOfItAll #VisitGainesville #AlachuaCounty #VisitFlorida #WhyILoveGainesville
