What experience prince george's county does

Experience Prince George's County (legal entity: Experience Prince George's, MD Destination Marketing Organization) is the official destination marketing organization for Prince George's County, Maryland, operating as a quasi-governmental entity under the authority of Prince George's County Government and headquartered at 9200 Basil Court, Suite 101, Largo, MD. The organization promotes tourism to the county through convention sales, sports event coordination, group tour planning, reunion planning resources, and leisure travel marketing, serving inbound meeting and convention planners, sports event organizers, group tour operators, reunion planners, and individual leisure travelers.

Its core products are tourism-promotion and destination-services offerings rather than standalone software: meetings and conventions services (venue selection, RFP coordination, site visits), sports tourism and event planning for amateur, collegiate, and professional sporting events, group travel and tour planning (including pre-packaged tours), reunion planning resources under the "Reunion Capital USA" sub-brand, and listings/promotion for featured attractions including National Harbor, Gaylord National Resort, MGM National Harbor, Six Flags America, the Legacy Wine Trail, and Anacostia Trails Heritage Area. The underlying technology stack is a Simpleview CRM platform supporting the member portal/extranet (profile management, collateral upload, lead sharing, RFP handling, invoicing), the public-facing website/blog, and event/listing discovery.

The business model combines county government appropriations with a tiered annual membership program for tourism-related businesses (hotels, shops, restaurants, transportation, event spaces, attractions, services), priced at $500 (1-100 employees) through $6,000 (500+ employees). Go-to-market is multi-motion: a sales-led convention and meeting sales team conducts proactive outreach to meeting planners; an event-driven motion secures and markets major sporting events (Washington International Horse Show, Washington Commanders, Bowie Baysox, University of Maryland Terrapins); enterprise field sales supports RFP coordination; and self-serve channels (website, visitor guide, e-newsletter, social) capture leisure traveler demand. Go-to-market relies on flagship strategic partnerships with Gaylord National and MGM National Harbor, channel partnerships with tour operators (MARS, Academy Bus, Martz Gray Line, Haymarket Transportation), and heritage/agri-tourism partnerships (Maryland Wineries Association, Anacostia Trails Heritage Area).
