PARTNERSHIP
The Greater Palm Springs CVB 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.
The Greater Palm Springs Summer Eats Pass gives our local restaurants the opportunity to connect with new customers and increase their summer business. The pass gives diners the chance to win each week they dine out at a participating restaurant or take advantage of a special offer. Restaurants can sign up for the pass and add or update offers by emailing merchants@bandwango.com.
