More Insurance Meetings in 2004

The insurance market “has been a steady producer” for the Hilton family of hotels — six brands with a total of about 2,157 properties — according to a group of top execs from Hilton Sales Worldwide who spent a day at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York in November being interviewed by editors of meetings industry magazines.“We saw some increase in the insurance market in the third quarter of 2003 and expect business to increase in 2004,” said Steve Armitage, senior vice president, sales.
