MEETING PACKAGE: Marriotts Offer Meeting Promo in New Orleans
September 21, 2009

Marriott hotels in New Orleans have launched a new "Meet. Live. Drive. Green." promotion that gives meeting planners the chance to win a hybrid car, including insurance and maintenance—valued at up to $16,800—for a year.

To be entered to win, planners must submit an RFP by Dec. 15, 2009, for a qualifying value date at any of 12 participating Marriott-brand hotels. Every RFP submitted earns a chance to win, while bookings and actualized meetings get additional "green" incentives, including the following signing bonuses:

• For 100-299 rooms: $150 gift certificate to www.ecoexpress.com

• For 300-499 rooms: Membership to Organic Baked Goodies of the Month Club

• For 500 or more rooms: Membership to Organic Wine of the Month Club

Finally, once meetings are held, the Marriott family of hotels in New Orleans will donate 5 percent of groups' guest room costs to Amazonas Sustainable Foundation, a charitable organization that protects 1.4 million acres of an endangered rainforest in Brazil.
