The New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development (DTTD) recently announced the re-launch of its official meeting planning site of New Hampshire at visitnh.gov/meetings. The site has been redesigned to help visitors more efficiently find options for their meeting or group gathering in New Hampshire. The meetings site also includes a “Special Offers” Page, linking users to money-saving packages.
