Drive-In Destinations

As airline travel costs increase and incidents of flight delays, maintenance issues, and unruly passengers flood news and social media, more planners are opting for more affordable and convenient drive-in destinations for meetings. The Southwest offers many places with easy drivability, top meeting venues, and local attractions. Planners hoping to clutch higher attendance might want to tap the brakes on the cross-country standbys and wheel in, instead, to destinations closer to home, such as these road-trip favorites.
