Complimentary Services FAQs

Can the sales team work with a third-party planner or National Sales Office?

Yes. Our sales team’s local knowledge and partner relationships can enhance the services of third-party planners and National Sales Offices.

How does the Alabama’s Beaches sales team work alongside my host venue?

Host venues manage property-specific details, while our sales team provides broader local support through supplier connections, transportation recommendations, off-site activities, promotional resources, and attendee experiences. Together, we collaborate to make planning easier rather than duplicating services. 

Does the Alabama’s Beaches team offer welcome materials or bags for my conference attendees?

Yes! We offer one complimentary welcome bag per registered meeting attendee. Each reusable tote includes a notepad, pen, and a card with a QR code linking to our Show Your Badge Pass. The pass provides discounts and special offers at participating shops, restaurants and attractions.

Does the sales team book venues and suppliers on my behalf?

No. Our team will identify suitable options, source proposals, and make introductions for planners to work directly with venues and suppliers on contracts, payments, and final arrangements.

Can meeting attendees receive discounts at local businesses?

Yes. Our Show Your Badge Pass provides eligible meeting attendees with offers from participating restaurants, attractions and activities. These digital offers are exclusive to meeting attendees on Alabama’s Beaches. Learn more about our helpful planning tools here.

Are complimentary planning services available for small meetings and retreats?

Yes. Support is available for groups of varying sizes, including board retreats, corporate meetings and association gatherings. Recommendations and resources from our sales team are tailored to each group’s needs.
