"I placed my meeting in Galveston because the Convention & Visitors Bureau showed me the desire of the hospitality community to go above and beyond our expectations. Even providing extra services in transporting our guests to and from the airport. These special touches are what set Galveston apart." - Richard Waits, CMP Manager, CWT Meeting and Events

"The warm Island hospitality that the Galveston Island Convention & Visitors Bureau showed us from the beginning site visits convinced us that Galveston Island was the right location for our event. They really made us feel special and welcome to the Island. The All Star Cruise event was so successful we are returning for a second year to Galveston." - Mark Vrabel, President, AllStarCruise.com
