Best Destinations for Last-Minute Events
Best Destinations for Last-Minute Events
BoomPop Team · 7/11/2024
At BoomPop we know all too well that last-minute planning for a retreat is inevitable. We see clients frequently come to us seeking support for their last-minute getaway. We always recommend giving yourself more time, because when you have more time to plan, it gives you more options about where to go and when.
However, last-minute planning never stopped us from giving our clients a good time! Sometimes parameters like urgency can be a great thing. They force us to get creative.
So this week, we synced up with our BoomPop event planning experts to hear where they would take clients if they were planning a last-minute event. And unlike what you might expect, these recommendations are anything but boring. Instead, they are places that will likely spark intrigue and excitement!
In addition to sharing specific location and hotel recommendations for your last-minute summer or fall events, the BoomPop expert event planners shared their advice on how to conduct a last-minute hotel search.
This is what they had to say, check it out!
