2007 Proves Golden for Moody Gardens
Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center Wins Gold Key Award for 2007
Galveston, Texas - Moody Gardens has been awarded the prestigious Gold Key Award for 2007 by Meetings & Conventions magazine. Celebrating its 30th year, this annual award is only bestowed upon the world's finest meeting properties.
The 2007 award marks the fourth time Moody Gardens has earned the award. Previous Gold Key awards were received in 2002, 2004 and 2006. For 2007, only 179 domestic and 20 international properties were recognized with a Gold Key Award for excellence.
Facilities are nominated and selected by Meetings & Conventions readers. These experienced meeting planners selected the winning properties based on strict industry criteria including: staff attitude; quality of meeting rooms; quality of guest services; food and beverage service; proficiency of handling reservations; availability of technical/support equipment and a range of recreational facilities.
“The dedication to quality has always been a trademark of M&C’s readers who represent the highest level of meeting and incentive professionals. The 2007 Gold Key winners have met these tough standards by providing outstanding service,” said Bernard W. Schraer, Meetings & Conventions Group Publisher. “The entire M&C staff commends the properties that have demonstrated the qualities to earn the Gold Key distinction.”
Moody Gardens’ key to success can be attributed in part to a combination of world-class accommodations, upscale amenities, unique on-site attractions, a state-of-the-art convention center with flexible meeting space, and a professional staff dedicated to going above and beyond in order to meet client needs.
Director of Sales and Marketing Jamie Weir is honored for Moody Gardens to be recognized with a Gold Key award for 2007. “It is very rewarding to see our efforts recognized, and the award only drives us to remain steadfast in our commitment to provide nothing but the very best for our clients and to further build on our reputation as one of the world’s premiere meeting properties.”
