MEETING PACKAGE: Laguna Cliffs Offers Year-End Incentives in Orange County, Calif.

Marriott's Laguna Cliffs Resort & Spa in Orange County, Calif., has announced a series of special incentives for meeting planners as a thank-you for a year of strong business performance.

"We have been very fortunate to have exceeded our forecast year to date, while current economic conditions have challenged the industry over all," General Manager James Samuels said in a statement. "We anticipate that companies will tighten their belts as we approach the end of the year, and we want to make it possible for existing and new customers to experience our spectacular location, quality facilities and attentive service by showing our appreciation through special incentives."

Valid through the end of the year, the Laguna Cliffs incentives are available in one of two distinct options. The first, the "Meetings Made Simple Package," includes rewards that are given to meeting planners based on the amount they spend on rooms, as well as food and beverage. Planners who book business valued at $5,000, for instance, will receive a Touch 16GB iPod, those who book $15,000 a 26-inch LG flat screen TV and those who book $25,000 or more a 47-inch LG flat screen TV.

Planners' second incentive option comes in the form of select "value dates," which vary by month and may include a variety of different incentives and discounts.

Regardless of their choice, planners will have access to more than 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space on the Pacific coast in Southern California, including Laguna Cliffs' 2,376-square-foot Pacific Learning Center, which is fully equipped with a multimedia presentation system.
