What makes San Angelo
a great destination?
Pearland is a great desti-
nation for groups. We pair
more affordable Pearland
hotels and local charm with
Houston’s big-city attrac-
tions just minutes away. San Angelo offers groups
the opportunity to experi-
ence frontier history and
to dive into a modern and
vibrant city.

What insider knowledge would help a tour operator
package your area?
Plan for a three- to five-day stay in Pearland, which would allow
enough time to experience our amenities and take day trips to
nearby Houston attractions. San Angelo has diverse themed tours on history, arts, culture, reli-
gion and agriculture, and we also partner with surrounding cities.
For example, we set up tours in Christoval (20 minutes away) at
their winery, hummingbird habitat and monastery.
