Terms & Conditions For new meetings with RFPs directly sourced through or qualified* by Visit Carlsbad Meeting to be held any month of the year. This is valid for meetings happening prior to December 31, 2022. For multi-year bookings, incentive will be paid for each year provided they are contracted at the same time. The amount is based on actualized room nights. Cash incentives are to be paid to transportation company or the contracted hotel within 15 days of the final meeting date. Payments will be made directly to the vendor only. Incentives will be offered if budgeted funds are available and program is subject to change. Does not apply to already contracted meetings. Leads will be distributed to all eligible Carlsbad hotel properties based on lead parameters. Visit Carlsbad reserves the right to end this incentive program at any time without prior notice. The Visit Carlsbad Board of Directors agrees that Tamara McGiboney, Director of Sales, has expertise in Carlsbad as a destination, as well as expertise in other popular destinations, and that her ability to leverage this expertise during the sales process, can often make a difference between a Carlsbad property being awarded a contract over a competing destination. Therefore, a qualified RFP not directly sourced through Visit Carlsbad is one in which: 1) The decision is between one or more eligible Carlsbad properties and any other non-Carlsbad destination; 2) The expertise by Visit Carlsbad could help result in the decision being awarded to a Carlsbad destination versus a non-Carlsbad destination; 3) Via Board-approved email format and before a contract is signed with any perspective Carlsbad property or properties, Visit Carlsbad confirms participation in RFP process with proposed Carlsbad property or properties.
