9 State of the Industry Continued hot seller s market Increase in hotel fees and surcharges Challenging to book short term meetings Negotiations plan is essential to success Pro-active hotel contract negotiations strategy is a must Increased expectations by senior management for improved planner productivity and ROI Meeting planners focus on meeting value reporting SMM technology is critical to meeting consolidation and data management
10 Hotels Total Focus Is On Sleeping Room Block / Revenue biggest profit center at 77% gross profit Peak Night Pattern / Flexibility all hotels focus on pattern selling, by market Group Food & Beverage / Revenue second biggest profit center at 38% gross profit Room To Space Ratio hotels use meeting space to sell total group rooms inventory Ancillary Spending projected revenue for business center, AV, production, Internet, golf/spa, sponsored events / ICW revenue, etc. Meeting History 3 to 4 years Season / demand over your date(s) Other groups in-house / their revenue contributions
11 Hotel and Contract Negotiation Strategy Assure risk reduction and cost containment measures Enhance added meeting value and measurable cost savings Make mutual obligations and responsibilities perfectly clear Have an easy path and process for dispute resolution Achieve open and honest communications and negotiations
12 Create a Custom Master Hotel Contract Template / Amend For Each Meeting Include: All hotel contract components and clauses Value added concessions (must have vs. nice to have) Hotel fees and surcharges (eliminate or reduce) Performance clauses (do the math and calculate on profit, not revenue) Legal department liability language (indemnification, insurance, successors and assigns, dispute resolution / arbitration, etc.) Generate a cost savings / risk reduction report for each meeting (from countersigned contract)
13 Sleeping room attrition Guarantee a percentage of total room block, with no sliding scale Negotiate a cut-off date that works with your group history Add resell clause vs. liquidated damages In the event of damages, calculations on profit not revenue
14 Example GUEST ROOM REVENUE COMMITMENT We are relying on, and you agree to provide, a minimum dollar amount of guest room revenue (exclusive of food and beverage charges, meeting room rentals, and other non-room charges) equal to the number of room nights set forth above in Section 2 multiplied by your $ room rate, exclusive of taxes. From the Effective Date until 14 days prior to your arrival, you may reduce your guest room revenue commitment by 10% PER NIGHT without charge. The balance equals your Room Revenue Commitment. If your Room Revenue Commitment is not met for reasons other than cancellation of your event, you will be charged for the difference between the Room Revenue Commitment and your actual guest room revenue plus all applicable taxes. The parties agree that the amounts described above are a fair and reasonable estimate of our damages resulting from non or partial use of the Room Block and that such amounts do not constitute a penalty. Under no circumstances may you transfer or resell your rights under this Agreement to any third party room reseller or broker for purposes of reselling unused rooms.
15 Meeting Cancellation Present performance clauses that are fair to organization and hotel Sliding scale damages and do the math Base damages calculations on profit, not revenue Include a mitigated damages / resell clause In the event of damages, apply percentage to a future meeting Advanced deposits / refundable or applied to damages
16 Food & Beverage Guarantee Verify F&B spend from last year s meeting Benchmark estimated F&B projection based on meeting agenda, number of attendees and average menu prices Hotel F&B guarantee does not include service charge and sales tax Contracted guarantee to include 20% allowable attrition 45 days out, assess your attendance and actual F&B spend
17 Published Rate Clause (No lower rates offered after contract is signed) Protects your company if meeting attendees make reservations around group room block (via Internet/discount web sites/telephone call in) No lower rates offered once the contract is signed (excluding airline and wholesale travel rates) If the individual is an attendee of the Group s meeting and has a documented reservation in-house at the hotel, regardless of the room rate, the Group will receive credit for attrition purposes.
18 Performance Clauses Fees/Surcharges Negotiate: eliminate or reduce hotel fees and surcharges Resort fee F&B Surcharges Early departure fee Maid / Bellman Parking Telephone / Internet access Health Club Meeting room rental / set-up charges (complimentary based on guaranteed room block / minimum F&B / no sliding scale)
