TAMPA, FL - The Committee on Arrangements for the 2012
Republican National Convention today announced hotel assignments for
the 56 Republican delegations that will travel to the Tampa Bay area
for the August 27-30 convention.
"From Harbour Island to Clearwater and St. Petersburg, and all the
beautiful beaches, the Tampa Bay area is one of America's premiere
vacation and business destinations," said convention Chief Executive
Officer William Harris. "So wherever you're staying, you're going to
have a great experience."
Convention organizers reserved 16,000 rooms at approximately 100 hotels
in the Tampa Bay area. Official delegations from 50 states, the
District of Columbia and five U.S. territories will be housed in 36
hotels. The remaining hotels will accommodate other convention
visitors, including media representatives and Republican Party
officials.
Harris noted that convention organizers will charter 300 buses to
shuttle delegates, alternate delegates, the media and other guests from
their respective hotels to the Tampa Bay Times Forum, where the
convention will take place, and to the Tampa Convention Center, which
will serve as the workspace for the 15,000 media members expected to
cover the event.
"We thank the Tampa Bay hospitality industry for working so closely
with us to make the convention a success, and especially those
facilities that were selected to accommodate our 56 delegations," he
