PARTNERSHIP
Visit Greater Palm Springs supports our local tourism partners through promotion and marketing, education, networking and advocacy. A lot has changed in the past year; many tourism businesses have renovated, added new experiences or opened for the first time, and the opportunities for tourism partners to market and promote themselves is continually evolving. We are excited for the return of in-person networking and education events, where we can share what’s new in Greater Palm Springs as well as connect Partners to resources and research to help expand your business.
Our first in-person networking event in over a year was hosted in July at Rancho Relaxo and Pangea Cuisine at the Atrium in Rancho Mirage. Attendees enjoyed shopping discounts at Rancho Relaxo, sips poured by Dead or Alive Bar and delectable bites from Pangea. Partners can look forward to invites to more networking, education and experience events this fall thanks to the support of our Oasis and San Jacinto Partners:
T.E.A.M. GPS offers education and networking opportunities for Partners as well as those who live and work in Greater Palm Springs. The initiative unites our community toward a common goal: creating positive experiences for our visitors so they will return time and time again, which ultimately helps support our local tourism economy and enhance everyone’s standard of living.
T.E.A.M. GPS partners with College of the Desert to deliver valuable programming to our hospitality partners, beginning with COVID-related training. This training focuses on the areas of basic COVID-19 safety and sanitation as well as COVID-related customer service and de-escalation. Enroll your employees for FREE.
