Travel Arrangements and Expenses: Upon request, the BLACVB is able to offer financial assistance to FAM attendees towards their travel expenses to and from Branson. The dollar amount available ranges from $50.00 up to $500.00 per qualified meeting planner depending on what your actual travel expenses will run. (Cost of your airfare or vehicle fuel costs if driving). To apply for reimbursement of costs associated with attending one of our FAMs, please discuss your needs with our FAM coordinator BEFORE making your final travel arrangements. We are sorry, but at this time, we are not able to offer financial reimbursements to cover travel expenses for your guest.
Ground Transportation: If you are flying, round trip ground transportation will be provided complimentary for you and your guest to/from either the Springfield / Branson National Airport or the all new Branson Airport. Once in Branson, shuttle service will be provided for all scheduled functions.
What about bringing the kids? Branson is a very family-friendly destination. However, the activities that are planned as a part of these FAM weekends are designed for adults only. If you prefer to bring a child as your guest, this is permitted so long as the child is 16 years or older. If you would like to visit Branson with the whole family, we strongly encourage you to do so, but at a different time.
What should I pack to wear to these activities? Branson is very relaxed and we want you to feel comfortable and have fun. Casual attire is appropriate for all events! Don’t forget to bring a jacket or a sweater for the evenings and we suggest comfortable shoes because we’ll be doing some walking on the site tours.
What if I need to cancel? We would appreciate notice of your cancellation as soon as possible so that we may adjust staffing and meal counts and perhaps offer your place to another planner who may be on a waiting list.
What if we want or need some free time to explore Branson on our own or to see things that are not included in the FAM weekend? We would be happy to explore the possibility of extending your stay by adding the Thursday prior or Sunday following to your reservation. That would provide some personal time to fit in what ever extra activities may be of particular interest to you.
