Recent Airport Renovation, Unique Conference Spaces and Fun Group Attractions Make Redding and Shasta Cascade an Exceptional Meeting Destination

REDDING, Calif., March 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With magnificent mountains to fascinate, flowing waters to liberate, accommodations to rejuvenate, not to mention an airport update, organizers from meeting planners to film scouts are getting a better understanding about why Redding's surroundings are called the Shasta Cascade Wonderland. Groups can leave traffic, parking challenges, and typical routines behind and welcome the fresh air, wide open spaces and inspiration of this region. And, getting to and from Redding and Shasta Cascade is easier than ever, thanks to the completion of a three-year, $9.3 million expansion of the main terminal building at the Redding Municipal Airport, which added 17,000 square feet. Plus recently, United Express began offering jet service in and out of Redding, increasing passenger capacity and reducing ticket prices.

Chad New, Industry Relations and Sales Director at the Redding Convention and Visitors Bureau couldn't be happier. "Redding and Shasta Cascade offers a unique array of indoor and outdoor venues, activities, accommodations, historic treasures, and great accommodations for meeting and event planners throughout the year," said New. "And now, thanks to the airport expansion, it's easier than ever to bring in groups for leisure or business travel." Meeting planners attending the March Plan Your Meeting, PYM Live convention at the Hotel Palomar in San Francisco are invited to find out about Redding and Shasta Cascade's variety of meeting and event spaces in person at the Visit Redding booth.

Comprised of eight rural counties historically known for being part of the pioneer gold rush in the mid-1800s, this majestic region of northern California is abundantly scattered with lakes, rivers, mountains and historic mining towns, and includes Lassen Volcanic National Park, two National Monuments, six National Forests and seven California State Parks. Besides offering unforgettable fun and adventure for groups, the region is also a popular choice among film crews, with a dedicated Film Commission to help with permits, regulations and more.
