National Sales Office
Why Use the National Sales Office?
The Destination National Sales Offices (NSOs) are an invaluable resource for meeting planners who are exploring Destination Hotels & Resorts’ entire collection to find the optimal fit for their program, while also taking advantage of the best rates in their preferred geographical location. With six NSOs located throughout the country, there is the added convenience of working with a professional in your area.
Why Use an NSO
By leveraging the resources of the entire Destination collection and having knowledge of the unique advantages each property offers, the NSO network is about finding the best meetings solutions at the best rates in the most convenient fashion. In short, planners working with a director of national sales can focus on meeting results while saving time, effort and money.
Location
With a director of national sales, planners get a single point of contact, accelerating the planning process and acting as the liaison between the planner and the property. The director of national sales takes the time to understand the full scope of each program and can then present a comprehensive plan to multiple properties.
Collection Details
Each director of national sales has intimate knowledge of each Destination property. They can visualize what space will best suit your needs and can alert you to special rate structures, promotions or potential conflicts. This eliminates the need for the planner to constantly follow up with each property.

Special Offers
During the planning process, the director of national sales helps determine the budgetary needs of a program and ensures that each property’s bid falls within the parameters of that budget. By removing the complication of negotiations, planners are assured of receiving the best value possible.
