Poconos: Still Beautiful After All These Years

The Pocono resorts have long been associated with upscale vacations, getaways for honeymoon couples, and widely varied activities for the lovers of the outdoors. But many people don’t know that it is one of the favorite areas for meetings, conferences, and retreats. So why not see what it has to offer for the inclusive travel planner?

Convenience

One of the best features about the Poconos is the close proximity to major cities in the east. Boston, Washington D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia are all within a short distance, some within a few hours’ driving time. With an escape hatch from the sizzling urban pace so close by, it’s a perfect getaway.

Activities

Aside from the large number of meeting rooms and accommodation choices, there are casinos, scenic train tours, antique shopping, and some of the best dining a guest could ask for. In addition, white water rafting is a popular activity, as are camping, skiing, golf, hiking, sightseeing and even paintball.

For entertainment, you can count on the Poconos to offer high quality performing arts at the Mount Laurel Center for the Performing Arts as well as other venues, some located in the hotels and resorts.

Relax and Do Business

While that seems like a contradiction in terms, the Pocono resorts offer a place to do just that. An inclusive travel planner will find that almost anything a client could want is within the bounds and abilities of one resort or another, and in these hard economic times it never hurts to see if more can be included.

The Poconos offer the perfect combination of meeting space, relaxation, activities, dining, and entertainment to help the inclusive planner with almost any needs. For your next big challenge, check out the 2,400 square miles of mountainous forest, rivers, lakes, meadows, and great accommodations in the hills of Pennsylvania.
