The city has history, elegance, intrigue and mystery. It has first-class accommodations and a growing amount of hotel and other meeting spaces. Because of these amenities, Savannah is a worthy place for an event planner to consider as a formidable meeting destination, said Jeff Hewitt, senior vice president of Visit Savannah. With a handful of properties currently undergoing renovation and another 15 new hotels slated for the area, Savannah is poised to handle increased tourism.
