This change may soon bring more conventions — and more visitors — to the Boise area

The bureau is considering a novel idea: A single, universal contract for all the hotels a convention may need to use. The bureau is working with several hotels to develop the idea, including both locally owned hotels and chains.

One of the first places to introduce a master contract was Madison, Wisconsin. Madison’s visitors bureau, called Destination Madison, rolled out “One City One Contract” in 2019.
