Group Meeting Deals
In March, Visit GPS launched a Group Meeting Deals page to offer special group rates to meeting planners and their attendees. There are currently 10 hotel properties offering featured deals. If you would like to add a group offer, log in to the extranet and click on Marketplace.

Favorites
A new “Favorites” feature is now available on the Visit GPS website. This tool allows users to create a customized collection of Greater Palm Springs Partners and share customized lists with others. To use, click on the “heart” icon on any Partner listing. To view your collection, click on the saved heart in the top navigation of the website. 

AMP
As mobile users continue to account for a growing segment of Visit GPS website traffic, Visit GPS partnered with Simpleview to implement AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) on the Visit GPS website. AMP versions of the website are now available to mobile users viewing listings, events, deals or blog posts. These pages offer a mobile-optimized design with faster load times.

Organic Traffic
