The goal of the guide is to advertise, promote and drive customers to Boston area businesses. The Hub Guide is a pocket-sized guide to the citys delights, as well as an online gateway and guide to this areas businesses, attractions and deals.

What makes The HubGuide compelling and different from services like CitySearch is its utility. Not only can I find a salon, but I can print directions and coupons or if I were in a rush, pack the guide in my purse and decide where to go on the fly. The combination of the two mediums (print and internet) makes the guide a tool that is always dynamic and changing with new content. It can be usedas a traveling companion, coffee table resource or a downloadable guide that you can have on your machine and browse at your leisure," says Natasha Scott, Director of Operations for BMVI.

Boston will host over 350 conventions and we believe that we can add value by promoting the areas businesses by working in tandem with other large-scale events and conventions that come to the city. Portability was key for us in deciding a format for the printed version, a pocket sized guide that has a longer shelf life that is seen over and over by people is our value proposition," says Jeffrey DAngelo, Manager of Publications for BMVI.
