Explore Asheville’s Sales & Service team will publish a new online Welcome Bag Gift Guide for meeting organizers to source as they plan their event in Asheville. The guide will highlight a curated list of locally crafted products. Think small scale (can fit in a gift bag), portable and available for bulk ordering. Do you have a product that would be a great welcome gift for groups coming to Asheville? We want to know!
