Contract a new meeting through Explore Asheville and be eligible for up to $5,000 (or up to $10,000 for a multi-year contract) to enhance your Asheville meeting.
Working with our team also makes planners eligible to our full menu of complimentary Exclusive Services.
If you’re looking for a meeting destination known for its beauty, uniqueness, and an award-winning CVB staff, Asheville should be at the top of your list. Meeting attendees love our mountain scenery, hot culinary and music scenes, and locally-minded culture, while meeting planners love our range of group activities and conference hotel options that make planning a successful meeting easy.
Explore Asheville's Have More Fun on Us incentive program offers funds that can be used for unique Asheville experiences and vendors. Be creative, the options are limitless!
Incentive eligibility is based upon new RFPs for room nights Sunday through Thursday for meetings held April through December and new RFPs for room nights any day of the week for meetings held January – March. To be eligible, all RFPs must be sourced/distributed by Explore Asheville to the hotel(s) that meet your meeting’s needs.
The cash incentive is paid directly to the agreed-upon local business.
