Venerable Four-County Northeastern Pennsylvania Destination Offers Opportunity to Relax, Reconnect in the Authenticity of Mother Nature’s Glory
(POCONO MOUNTAINS, Pennsylvania) – The Pocono Mountains – easily accessible from New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. and a stone’s throw from Newark, New Jersey – are the ideal location for meeting planners to schedule their next event. Whether it’s a weeklong convention for many or an afternoon meeting for a few, the venerable destination offers all the necessary facilities and additional amenities to make the event a success.
A popular vacation spot for generations, the Pocono Mountains have undergone a rejuvenation over the last few years and now offer state-of-the-art meetings facilities, while not losing the charm and comfortable familiarity people have grown to know and embrace.
The Pocono Mountains properties are competitively priced and well versed in catering to the business world. That said, all events, from religious retreats to teambuilding programs and everything in between, fall within the expertise of the hospitality professionals. Organizations hosting events can take comfort in knowing their clients, members and guests will be treated with unmatched excellence.
"The location of the Pocono Mountains has made our properties increasingly popular among big-city businesses and organizations when planning an event," says Robert Uguccioni, Executive Director of the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau. "The Pocono Mountains are close enough to make the trip convenient, but seemingly miles away when you step outside and into this lush mountain setting."
Successful events aren’t solely about what takes place within the meeting facility. With that in mind, the Pocono Mountains are flush with hundreds of holes of golf from legendary designers from the Golden Era of golf course architecture such as Donald Ross and A.W. Tillinghast and today’s top names like the Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus.
The assortment of golf courses provides something for every golfer’s taste – tough enough to challenge the lowest handicaps or fair enough for a novice to enjoy a round in this spectacular setting.
Understanding that meetings don’t always work around the ideal golf schedule, the Pocono Mountains also feature a nine-hole lighted golf course for evening play.
The four-season destination boasts much more than golf alone on its list of amenities. Countless rivers and streams allow for outdoor water activities such as fishing, kayaking and white water rafting, while sporting clays, biking, horseback riding, camping and hiking are plentiful. In addition, snow boarding, downhill and cross country skiing are just a few of the winter activities available in the Pocono Mountains.
If it’s time to schedule a business meeting or a long overdue retreat for family, friends or colleagues, it’s time for the Pocono Mountains.
