Biz ‘Bite:’ Boise Convention & Visitors Bureau hits ‘refresh’ on website

The Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau (Boise CVB) has unveiled a new, reimagined website under a new URL — visitboise.com. The new website is described as offering business travelers, active families and outdoor enthusiasts the ability to plan their vacation with ease — such as with the “Plan Your Trip” section that allows visitors to explore recommended things to do, places to visit and events to attend based on travel interests and vacation season — while maintaining some prior features such as the booking engine that allows visitors to search and book real time hotel rates and availability. Some additional features include maps that allow visitors to learn more about the neighborhoods in Boise and explore restaurants, coffee shops and more based on location and directories of restaurants, shops, tasting rooms, breweries and more.

The new visitboise.com website will also benefit local businesses and streamline requests for meetings and conventions coming to Boise, according to the announcement, and the website has a place where meeting planners can learn about venue options and submit contact requests and request for proposals online. The Boise CVB worked with advertising agency Duft Watterson to design the new website experience.

“We are thrilled to unveil our new Visit Boise website just as people are becoming increasingly eager to get back out there for both leisure and business travel,” said Carrie Westergard, executive director of the Boise CVB, in a statement. “The launch is also happening in tandem with the start of a busy summer travel season. We’re excited to welcome visitors of all ages to our great city with personalized ideas and information for an iconic Boise-based experience.”
