GBTA Oregon Connect is your chance to meet and network with travel industry peers. Our Connect events are an excellent resource for gaining new insights into industry developments, sharing best practices, and expanding professional relationships.  Whether you’re a Travel Buyer or Supplier, GBTA Oregon Connect will help you stay on top of emerging trends and build your professional network, all while relaxing and socializing amongst other travel professionals. At this month’s Connect, you’ll hear from members who attended the recent GBTA Convention in Atlanta on industry trends, technologies, and forecasts.

Exclusively for our event, the Hotel Zags Portland will provide one (1) complimentary beverage and an array of appetizers.  Discounted parking will be available for $8.00. 

Ongoing donations to A Village For One will continue at this meeting. See the GBTA Oregon website for donation requests and details on how to support this important organization. We look forward to Connecting with you on August 15th!

The Hotel Zags is situated in downtown Portland’s Business district, one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. We’re truly close to everywhere you want to be — from delicious dining to hip shopping hot spots to cultural attractions. Most are within walking distance, but we’re also just steps from the MAX light rail if you’d like to venture a bit further afield. Want to explore on your own? Then just stop into our Gear Shed and grab one of our bicycles, or boards for cruising the city. You can even borrow one of our rental cameras and document your trip in style. 

 As the only Portland hotel to receive the AAA Best of Housekeeping award, we’re proud to offer some of the best rooms and suites around. Here you’ll enjoy home-like comfort, bespoke furnishings, and exceptional amenities. Each room is unique, sporting a bright color palette, impeccable design, and panoramic views of either our garden courtyard or the city. Pillow-top beds beckon at bedtime, HDTVs and mini-fridges keep you entertained and refreshed, and all-natural bath products revitalize each morning.

 You have many options when it comes to where to stay in Portland. However, if you’d like your accommodations to be just as warm and memorable as your adventures in the city, then The Hotel Zags is the clear choice.
