On the theme of this post, I want to know, if you had a set budget to spend on your next ticket and hotel stay experience, how would you build your Bundl? Would you give more weight to the ticket or the hotel and why? Are you a gold circle fan staying in a budget motel? A GA ticketer with a taste for ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hotels? Or something completely different?

Tuesday Tips: 📣 📣 Sometimes.. I am asked to help with an event that’s primarily meeting space only. Example: a conference for 300 people with a room block of only 5-10 rooms. This type of event usually get a lot of turn downs because of the room to space ratio AKA the event is considered “unbalanced”. A challenge to get a hotel venue especially in a high season. If you have a program such as the above and want a hotel venue, consider this. 1. Be flexible with your dates 2. Ask the hotel(s)what dates are citywide events happening, and make sure that hotel is not the host/headquarter hotel for the citywide, (the convention center meeting space is used for CWs and the HQ hotel) 3. Book your program over a citywide date Value 1. You fill a HUGE void the hotel has 2. Likely to negotiate the meeting rental fee better 😉 3. Your small room block could also be offered too 4. A win/win situation 🤝 If there’s ever a time that I am not a good fit to assist, will always try to provide a solution. 😊 #hotelvenuesourcing #meetingsandevents

How much control do you have over your guest room inventory? A 500-room hotel with an average 85% occupancy distributes over 10,000 guest room items daily. Annually, that's over 3.7 million items that need to be efficiently delivered. Streamline your distribution with the ProHost System. #hospitalityindustry #hotelbusiness

First, we identified clearly defined room rates and block sizes as a key component of a hotel contract. Then, we identified specific payment terms and schedules as another. Third? Detailed cancellation and refund policies. The hotel contract should outline the cancellation timeframe, late charges, and be in writing to prevent disputes and costs. 🏨 #8KeyComponentsOfAHotelContract

Community Development is an essential praxis to generate community capacity, capability, and competency (3C) to reach the future ready for the challenges we'll all feel locally as global transformations now reach closer to home than ever before thanks to modern technologies. Understanding and investing in the best practices of building local resiliency and independence from larger systems, while not isolating from the benefits of global connections through commerce and knowledge exchanges, is an important perspective to gain. CDS exists to help us where we live, work, play, and pray. With Place-based, Community-centric, Civic-action inspired programs, we can grow our social capital and increase our social cohesion so that we may experience harmonious happy virtuous American lives in pursuit of our dreams. Our future generations need us to give them stake in the game of life we're playing so that they may imprint upon society their needs as we transition across time from the past to the future. Our unsaid cultural duty is to gracefully transfer the endowment of the United States to posterity. Community Development praxis is a prime way we can do that, so let's get busy and get it going to build resiliency in our communities, and grit in our kids. Involve them. Listen to their dreams. Enable the better angels and ideas for their prosperity! The time is now, America. The time is now.

Sure, boutique hotels are smaller, but they collect tons of data, especially if they have a spa or restaurant. The problem? Their amazing staff, who wear like 5 hats at once (GM, sales director, you name it!), don't have time to crunch all those numbers. This can lead to rooms being too cheap or too expensive, hurting their business. Here's where the tech comes in! Revenue management tools take all that data and make it easy for hotels to figure out the perfect price for each room, every night. It's like having a pricing genie in a bottle! This lets them make more money without losing their special touch.
