Industry trends
(survey "Meetings Industry Pulse") :
Demand for new events remains strong
Rising costs are a serious concern for planners
Concern for hotel staffing challenges continues to grow
Planners are less satisfied with their hotel partners
Optimism for future meetings continues to grow
In person meetings will continue to grow in 2023
While compression eases; other challenges remain.
Rates and F&B costs are higher than expected, space and dates are hard to find, supplier contacts are gone, contract terms are not flexible, and hotels lack staffing.
Any of these challenges sound familiar?
Hotel staff changes during the contracting process with no turnover to new personnel.
Hotel has changed brands or not up to the same standards when the program was booked two years ago.
RFP ends up in a black hole and/or automatically declined.
Adding rooms to block after contract may be difficult and expensive (Talk to us about a possible work around!).
Hotel may not hold space; first come first served basis; hesitate and you may lose out.
Many More….
