Start Your Hotel Program EARLY this year!

Accelerate your success by starting your hotel program earlier this year.  If you have enough room nights in a city to negotiate a rate with a preferred property, its not to early to start your process now.  For major cities you typically need to be able to deliver at least 100 room nights per year to get a specially discounted rate for your company.  For smaller cities 50 room nights per year will probably be enough.

Hotliers are looking to fill their hotels in 2011 and that represents an opportunity for corporate buyers to partner with hotels to put your travelers in their hotels at a specially discounted rate.  With uncertainty about the economic recovery still lingering, there are great deals available in the marketplace.
