CO NVENT I O N CENT ERS SUPPLEMENT Branson—We Love To Surprise You!
After decades of popularity as a top, family-friendly leisure destination, Branson is now rolling out the red carpet for sport groups. Branson is the "Live Music Show Capital of the World." During peak sea- son, guests can choose from more than 100 live shows daily in 50 theaters— there's a performance to please everyone. PLUS: Three mountain lakes with 1,250 miles of shoreline, theme parks, 12 museums/exhibits, 300+ retail stores, 260+ restaurants, and more than 200 holes of championship golf.
Getting your group to Branson is easy: Located within less than a day's drive of one-third of the United States, with two airports in less than 45 miles that offer low cost flights: the new Branson Airport (BKG) and the Springfield-Branson National Airport.
You'll find more than 200 lodging properties with more than 21,000 guest rooms (accommodations range from rus- tic to luxurious; trusted national brands or independent properties; in town, on the golf course and lakefront settings). The Branson Convention Center, man- aged by Hilton Hotels, is the crown jewel of Branson Landing. Located within view of beautiful Lake Taneycomo, the convention center's unique design makes it an ideal location for a diverse range of sporting events. This modern, state-of- the-art venue offers 220,000 square feet of flexible space. The Branson RecPlex offers two full- sized basketball courts, two full-size vol- leyball courts, four baseball/softball fields and several multi-use soccer fields. The Branson area is also quickly becoming recognized as a destination for
outdoor events (triathlons, fishing tourna- ments, golf tournaments and more). As Branson evolves to welcome more sporting events, the world-class live entertainment, award-winning theme park, abundant shopping and traditional charm wow visitors.
