Ontario, CA, February 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Elite Reward Cards, LLC., a promoter of economic benefit within local communities for businesses and residents, and the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau announced that they are joining forces in 2010 to promote an economic stimulus package for businesses and savings for consumers throughout the year.

The Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau's primary responsibilities are:

1. To confirm conventions, tradeshows, meetings, consumer shows like the Home Show, meetings and other public events that appeal to the community at the Ontario Convention Center

2. To generate sales leads for local hotels to fill their guestrooms

3. To confirm events that will fill local hotel rooms

4. To generate Economic Impact in the city leading to sales tax generation for the city

Beginning with the On the Edge Promotions - The Mega Show in April, the expected 10,000 visitors will be encouraged to patronize local merchants like the Rosa’s Italian Restaurant, New York Grille, Porter’s Steak House, Page One Café, Red Hill BBQ, Dickey's, J&M Café, Spires, and Taqueria restaurants while they are in town for the event and receive instant discounts.

"As a community organization, the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau has a mission to promote tourism and local business patronage by all of the more than 500,000 visitors to our fair community every year", said Bob Brown, General Manager of the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau.

"We are excited to assist in the promotion of the Elite Reward Card program because it can stimulate local purchases during the events and indeed all throughout the year," said Brown.

Bill Martinez, Director of Marketing for Elite Reward Cards, LLC said, "Our Company’s focus is to strengthen the community and tourism is an important element with everything the Ontario Convention Center has to offer. After introducing the Elite Reward Cards program at the 2009 RECon (The Global Retail Real Estate Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada), we now have a growing vehicle that will provide direct benefits to both consumers and businesses. We believe it is a unique win-win scenario around and provides an excellent local economic stimulus package. In addition, our program takes full advantage of all media including on-line, print, and social networking with no coupons to clip, no points to keep track of and no coupons books carry."

About the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau:

The purpose of the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau is to provide the meeting planner with "one-stop shopping" when booking business within the city.

The Bureau is also responsible for promoting the destination for leisure travel. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, the Bureau's role is to highlight the dining, shopping and entertainment features of the city of Ontario to these travelers. The Bureau's sales team is housed inside the Ontario Convention Center; this provides the meeting planner with immediate answers for date availability and detailed information about the Convention Center.
