Last week, Meet Minneapolis – alongside our partners Delta Air Lines (Kyle Van Alstine), the IGLTA Foundation (John Tanzella) and the ASAE Research Foundation – hosted our 19th Annual LGBTQ2IA+ Party at ASAE. 🌈 THANK YOU to the more than 400 people who attended. With your help, we raised over $15,600 to benefit the IGLTA Foundation and the ASAE Research Foundation. The IGLTA Foundation is the philanthropic organization of the LGBTQ2IA+ Travel Association which provides a fellowship program for the next generation of LGBTQ2IA+ tourism professionals, marketing assistance for small gay-friendly businesses in emerging destinations that lack governmental support of LGBTQ2IA+ infrastructure, and global research to further understanding of LGBTQ2IA+ travel. The ASAE Research Foundation supports grant programs and research designed to advance knowledge about association management, inform effective practices in the industry, and provide meaningful evidence that allow association professionals to make informed decisions. It was a fun night to party with a purpose. In Unity We Thrive! #Minneapolis #LGBTQ #LGBTQ2IA #DEI #meetingsandevents

Recently, we've boasted about big events, record breaking hotel numbers and being named the happiest place in the U.S. Next up, Minneapolis will be ROCKING OUT this weekend! 😎 🤘 (https://bit.ly/3YQbIT7). This is another positive sign for our city's tourism and hospitality industry. From iconic, independent venues to our stadiums (like U.S. Bank Stadium - ASM Global) and from the Minneapolis Convention Center to our more than 10,200 hotel rooms, our city is built for all of this. So, if you are looking for a city to host your meeting, convention, sporting event, concert or cultural festival, you're always invited to come see what our Minneapolis community has to offer. #Minneapolis #travel #tourism #concerts #metallica #rocknroll #meetingsandevents #concerttourism

The Minneapolis tourism and hospitality industry continues to enjoy a strong summer. How do we know this? HOTEL ROOM REVENUE: Minneapolis hotels recorded more than $42.5 million in total guest room revenue in July 2024 – an all-time record (surpassing the previous record set in June 2024). And hotel room revenue in July was up 28.5% year-over-year. HOTEL ROOM DEMAND: The 219,422 hotel rooms occupied in July were the most since August 2019. Year-over-year, hotel demand in July was up 12.5%. HOTEL OCCUPANCY: Hotel occupancy in July 2024 was 68.9% – the highest monthly occupancy rate since October 2019. Compared to last year, hotel occupancy in July was up 12.5%. Finally, through July, each month of 2024 has set new post-pandemic highs for per-month occupancy. Meet Minneapolis and our partners are working hard to keep this momentum going as it benefits our local workers and our community.

We love sounding like a broken record! Last week (July 14-20, 2024) was another outstanding one for tourism in Minneapolis as multiple events resulted in record-breaking numbers for our city’s hotels. The noteworthy hotel success was driven by the meetings, conventions and events that Meet Minneapolis – and its partners – brought to the city including: --Academy of General Dentistry 2024 and the Rubik's WCA North American Championship at the Minneapolis Convention Center (MCC) --Herbalife North American Extravaganza at U.S. Bank Stadium - ASM Global --Stonewall Sports National Tournament & Summit at various sites around the city THE IMPORTANCE: Securing meetings, conventions and large events for our convention center, and venues throughout the city, provides a significant boost to Minneapolis’ economy and supports our city's more than 31,000 tourism and hospitality workers. Note: All data according to hospitality industry data provider Smith Travel Research (STR). #Minneapolis #recordbreaking #travel #tourism #meetingsandevents

If you've been to Minneapolis recently, you can see it and feel it. There is energy and enthusiasm in our city. (https://bit.ly/46awqym) If you haven’t been in a while, it’s time to see for yourself! Meet Minneapolis and our many partners are bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to Minneapolis. You see it with big conventions at the Minneapolis Convention Center (like the American Physical Society, American Clean Power Association (ACP) and GALA Choruses Inc). You feel it with major events such as the Big Ten Basketball Tournaments and U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials (Minnesota Sports and Events). And you know it by the attendance at many ongoing festivals, concerts, and events (Twin Cities Pride, Prince Celebration, Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Lynx, Minnesota Timberwolves, Hennepin Arts, Taste of Minnesota and more). Collectively, we are doing all we can to keep the momentum going to benefit our industry's workers and our residents.
