Logo CIRA

“Let’s have a Revolutionary Experience in Spartanburg” became the theme for CIRA’s Carolinas-Georgia Chapter annual reunion whose success was due to outstanding service, insightful recommendations and guidance provided by Spartanburg’s CVB. Commitment, well-honed communication and organization and an in-depth knowledge of the city and its environs, are reflected in the professionalism of those who represent the CVB. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with them.”

CIRA Carolina-Georgia Chapter President, 2016

Logo Together SC

“Together SC has orchestrated an annual gathering of our state’s nonprofit leaders for over twenty years. To facilitate participation, each year we partner with a different community. In 2015 we had 600-700 join us for three days at the Spartanburg Marriott.

If I had my druthers, we’d hold our summit there every year.

Hands down, they offer the best combination of comfortable meeting rooms, attentive hotel staff, free parking, affordable hotel rooms, great restaurants nearby and engaged community leaders of any hotel we’ve worked with in the state.”

- Madeleine McGee

President, Together SC

“The board and membership of the International Perfume Bottle Association thank the Spartanburg CVB for assisting us in holding one of our most successful conventions. Comments from our members noted the helpfulness, courtesy and welcoming we received from the entire Spartanburg community. Everyone we encountered seemed genuinely concerned and committed to our success. In addition, our attendees have ranked the Marriott as one of the best hotels we have used in our 27 years of convention. This is quite a compliment from a group with very high standards and expectations.”

“As the host destination for the 2017 SC Governor’s Conference on Tourism & Travel, the Spartanburg CVB went above and beyond to ensure the success of our event, providing turnkey service and bringing innovative, fresh ideas that created truly original, value-added experiences for our attendees.

“Spartanburg was the first remote location for our annual conference, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! We can’t say enough about the Marriott, its central location, and the wonderful Southern hospitality. Our attendees loved our scavenger hunt through downtown Spartanburg. It’s such a great walk- and bike-friendly community, and it has so many healthy food options. We think the beauty of the area and the relaxing atmosphere contributed to our memorable experience.”
