Hear What Our Partners Have To Say About Us

Attractions

Connie George
Marketing Director
Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

"The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium needs to target fringe markets like Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland. By working with VisitPittsburgh's media relations department, we are able to reach travel writers and editors in these markets and expand our reach. This collaboration is only one example of how we work with not only VisitPittsburgh's departments, but also other cultural assets in the community as a result of partnership. Join! The first benefit is networking, along with great visibility, group leads, and resources."

Michael Cohen
Just Ducky Tours

"There's a big group marketing for you on a regional, national, and international basis. You have access to marketing tools and resources that you simply couldn't get if you weren't a partner. One example is a lead that we received from a group in Singapore coming to Pittsburgh."

Accommodations + Meeting Facilities

Bob Page
Director of Marketing
Omni Willam Penn Hotel

"Our partnership in the VisitPittsburgh provides several benefits. The generation of convention leads, as well as leisure weekend package business through VisitPittsburgh.com are both key in assisting us with our marketing efforts."

Suppliers

Sheila Weiner
President

"As a partner of VisitPittsburgh, I most value the opportunity to build relationships with other partners and vendors that I do business with. The social and educational programs are an outstanding setting for networking and doing business."

Transportation

Paul K. Brown
President
Professional Limousine & Transport Service

"I've been a Partner with VisitPittsburgh since 1997. It has truly been a good investment with great returns! The staff has been no less than terrific for me—very easy to talk with, always available and helpful. I believe that it's an absolute must to be a Partner with VisitPittsburgh if you want to do business in Pittsburgh."

Retail

Janet Pilewski-Bretti
Marketing Director
Fifth Avenue Place Arcade Shops

"The long-range convention planning calendar is invaluable, the up-to-the minute e-leads are treasured, the educational and networking opportunities are beyond compare, and the benefits of VisitPittsburgh Partnership are, in a word, priceless. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to your business."

Restaurants

Kevin Joyce
The Carlton Restaurant

"All businesses should be Partners for the basic fiscal reasons: there's not a day that goes by that I don't get an e-lead telling me who's coming to town and providing me with a sales opportunity.
