HILTON UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA CONFERENCE CENTER GAINESVILLE 

Upscale Full-Service Hotel Announces New Business Community Travel Plan 

GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA – MARCH 3, 2020 Having recently hosted the incredible annual Greater Gainesville Chamber Business Awards dinner, where area businesses are recognized for their role in helping our region become the global hub of talent, innovation, and opportunity, the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center announces a new business travel rate plan to help support the needs of the vibrant businesses that make up the Greater Gainesville Chamber of Commerce Membership. The rate plan appropriately named the Go Gainesville business travel plan is available year-round to Chamber members and provides savings off the Best Available Rate on hotel rooms and includes value-ads to help travelers control costs while maximizing their travel experience.  

“The recent awards ceremony was an inspiring event recognizing excellence, innovation and dedicated community involvement” said Andrew Congress, Business Travel Manager at the Hilton UF. “As we welcome a new decade and celebrate with our long-standing partners in the Greater Gainesville Chamber, it caused me to consider how we at the Hilton could be better partners and support our local business community.”  

Recognizing the overall impact and the cost that business travel has on corporate resources, the Hilton team generated the Go Gainesville business rate plan targeted towards small to mid-size companies to provide savings and travel perks usually only offered to larger companies with high travel volume. “We understand the role that business travel plays in the growth of a company,” says Congress, “and we are excited to announce a special member discount available throughout 2020 to help companies achieve their goals.”   

Whether your home office is in Alachua County or elsewhere in the area, this exclusive Go Gainesville rate plan is available for business or leisure travel to all Greater Gainesville Chamber members.  Please contact the Hilton UF’s Business Travel Manager, Andrew Congress, for more information or assistance with booking travel.  Additionally, members can access this exclusive rate plan on the member deals tab on the Greater Gainesville Chamber site.
