Do you want more groups coming to your destination?

Starting in 2024, OMCA and Alternative Sales Strategies are launching Group Strategies - a consulting arm of the association that can help you build destination development strategies and targeted plans to bring more group sales to your destination.

OMCA’s Group Sales Growth Strategies can also help you with tracking economic impact, industry training, research, and developing tools to help make your destination group-oriented and friendly.

The goal is to help destinations get started in the group travel market as well as help established destinations secure even more groups and help your stakeholders understand the economic value of this market.
