Gaylord Opryland shosen as one of top US group destinations
Gaylord Opryland Resort and the Grand Ole Opry came in second place in the nation on the list of top man-made attractions to visit by motorcoach on the new annual Top 10 rankings issued by the National Motorcoach Network. Disney World was ranked in first place and Washington D.C. was ranked third. The city of Nashville is ranked as the fourth best destination in the nation by the same organization.
The annual rankings are compiled from surveys of member operators indicating where they plan to travel in the coming year. About 725 motorcoach groups visited Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in 2006, from as far away as Seattle. As many as 500 motorcoaches brought group travelers for the resort’s world-famous A Country Christmas festivities last year.
Gaylord Opryland Travel Industry Sales has packages available including: Celebration! 2007, Southern Gospel Festival, Celebrity Chef Series, SPAtastic, Grand Ole Opry Birthday Celebration, Mark Lowery, A Country Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and How’d They do That.
Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center has been named one of the best resorts and convention centers in the United States and will receive the prestigious 2007 Successful Meetings Pinnacle Award-the mark of excellence for meeting destinations in August.
Readers of Successful Meetings magazine — corporate and association executives with meeting planning responsibilities – gave feedback based on professional experiences worldwide. Reviews are based on four categories: accommodations, amenities, meeting facilities and services, along with food and beverage offerings. This is the twenty-third straight year Gaylord Opryland has received this honor.
