The ARVC conference runs Nov. 30th through Dec. 2nd at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa and is the annual meeting of the campground industry. The Low Country Dinner Boil event hosted by Good Sam RV Parks & Resorts will be held at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 30th at the Westin and will feature dining and musical entertainment.
“I am excited about the upcoming dinner event that Good Sam RV Parks & Resorts is sponsoring at the annual 2011 Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo,” said Marcus Lemonis, CEO and Chairman of Good Sam. “Good Sam plans to take an even larger role in the campground industry, and this sponsorship is just the beginning of that effort. We have some exciting announcements planned at this dinner to aggressively grow the Good Sam RV Park & Resort network over the coming years and to dramatically increase the business our affiliated parks receive from our Good Sam members.”
Lemonis added, “Our company has been actively working to bring more energy and investment to bear on building the Good Sam brand among consumers, reinventing our brand, benefits, and member service to ensure they are world class. We will now bring that same level of energy and investment to bear on building our Good Sam network and building the business of those parks who partner with us.”
ARVC President and CEO Paul Bambei, for his part, said he welcomes the sponsorship of the Good Sam RV Park & Resort Network, which has over 1,600 campground members, many of which are also members of ARVC. “Good Sam Parks clearly appreciate the value of the educational seminars, networking opportunities and the campground industry’s largest tradeshow, which the Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo provide,” Bambei said.
Additional information about how a park or resort can affiliate with the Good Sam RV Park & Resort Network will be available at the Good Sam RV Park & Resort booth in the trade expo area, December 1st and 2nd as part of the 2011 Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo.
