Congrats! The Hilton Sandestin Wins International Marketing Award The Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) has recognized Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa with a Bronze Adrian Award for web marketing excellence for its winning entry in the 53rd annual Adrian Awards Competition, the largest and most prestigious travel marketing competition globally.
HSMAI will pay tribute to Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa during the 20th annual HSMAI Adrian Awards Gala, a black-tie affair attended by more than 1,000 hospitality, travel and tourism marketing executives, on Feb. 1, 2010, at the New York Marriott Marquis.
When the economic situation started to take its toll on consumer spending and travel, marketers across the country had to focus on promotions, special offers and merchandising. “Our approach was to create attractive price points and a single message to drive bookings,” said Vice President of Sales and Marketing Marshall Thompson. “That strategy coupled with limited offers and phone-only bookings allowed up-sales that have preserved ADR and generated up to a 35-1 net return on campaign investment for the hotel.”
The Seaside Repertory Theatre is presenting a production of The Santaland Diaries, originally an essay in humorist David Sedaris’ “Holidays on Ice” collection.
DETAILS:
December 20-23, 26-30, & January 2
7:30pm in the Seaside Meeting Hall Theatre [MAP]
Tickets $29/$24 for members
Box office: (850) 231-0733
The play was adapted into a one-man piece by acclaimed actor/director Joe Mantello (Angels in America, Wicked). It tells the tale of David Sedaris’ brief stint working as an elf at Macy’s Santa Land attraction in New York City and is filled with charged, politically incorrect, irreverent commentaries of fellow elves, Santa’s true colors, and the raucous adults and children who come to sit on St. Nick’s lap.
The Seaside Repertory Theatre production will star Rep company member and audience favorite Brook Stetler, recently seen in The Homecoming, and The Book of Liz, and is directed by Anne Marie Carrol. As usual, the Rep will put its signature twist on the production, giving the piece a homespun feel you won’t want to miss.Continue reading "Bid Adieu to 2009 on December 31st in the famous town of SEASIDE, Florida!!" »
