GTR Seasoned Experts in Hotel Site Selection, Meeting, Event & Trade Show Planning, Online Event Registration and Lead Retrieval

Quality. Value. Innovation.

Simple, Yet Powerful Approach...
Established by Darrell Basham in 1995, GTR Meetings and Events, Inc. (Formerly Group Travel Resources) has grown significantly since its inception. With five offices nationwide servicing the meetings industry globally in Hotel Site Selection, as well as meeting & event planning and management - GTR has adopted a simple, yet powerful approach to fulfilling clients' needs.

Commitment to Quality and Value...
Darrell, who has more than 20 years experience in the meetings industry, started with a simple philosophy: develop strong personal relationships, identify each client's unique challenges and provide value-added solutions - quickly and creatively. Strong personal relationships with his previous group sales clients at Hyatt Hotels and Resorts and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company contributed to GTR's early success, though it is Darrell's belief in nurturing relationships and his deep commitment to quality, value and innovation that has sustained its continuing success.
