Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau Introduces Passkey as its Online Housing System

To make meeting in Pasadena even more convenient, the Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) has selected the Passkey reservation system to handle its group housing requests. The Pasadena CVB will offer Passkey as a complimentary service to groups using two or more Pasadena hotels with 400 room nights on peak.

The Passkey system provides valuable incentives to all involved in the group housing process. Planners holding their events in Pasadena will be able to:

• Offer attendees the convenience of booking their hotel rooms online in the contracted block.
• Connect event registration directly to hotel reservations through RegLink.
• Access real-time pick up and pace reports to maximize in-block bookings and minimize book-arounds and attrition.
• Receive Smart Alerts notifying them of critical milestones.
• Communicate with event attendees prior to arrival via e-mail blasts.

"We are thrilled to be a member of the Passkey family," says Monica Smith, Pasadena CVB director of sales & convention services. "Pasadena is a renowned destination and we are proud to offer the industry's leading online group reservation system to our clients and their attendees."

Housing is just one of the many services provided by the Pasadena CVB. From free assistance with booking meeting space and hotel rooms to site selection, promotional materials and much more, the Pasadena CVB offers one-stop shopping for meeting planners.
