\nofficials said. His attention to detail and creativity
\nhas garnered him the respect of industry peers
\nand established a following with both social and
\ncorporate clients in the worlds of business, politics,
\nand entertainment, they said.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to welcome Tom to Saratoga and to the Convention & Tourism Bureau team”, said bureau President Todd Garofano. “The destination wedding market is a lucrative year-round segment which Saratoga is perfectly positioned for. Brides and grooms have been choosing Saratoga for their special events for years.<\/p>\n

“With the tremendous growth we have seen as a destination, we have barely scratched the surface for this sought after business. Tom’s experience in this industry and in one of our key feeder markets, NYC, will provide immediate benefit.”<\/p>\n

To accommodate the need for additional staff space, the bureau moved upstairs to new office space at its current address. It is now located in Suite 301 at 60 Railroad Place, Saratoga Springs. An open house is being planned.<\/p>\n
