Bus Parking Incentive for Downtown Hotels
Knowing that the cost to park a bus in downtown Minneapolis can cause our region to look less attractive to Entertainment and Motor Coach groups, Meet Minneapolis offers an incentive to offset this cost. Entertainment and Motor Coach groups staying at a downtown hotel may be eligible to receive up to $5 per room night generated (capped at $250).
Downtown hotels will need to submit for the incentive on behalf of the group in advance of their stay. The incentive policy can be viewed here: 2024 Bus Parking Incentive
Please contact Alyssa Ripley with questions or to find out if a group qualifies.
