Hotel Challenges Hotel meeting facilities and related guest rooms go empty everyday, revenue is lost forever. Customer relationship opportunities missed. Hotel Sales Challenges –Cannot respond to every RFP, particularly smaller requirements –Must match value of opportunity with effort to win the business –Customers can’t buy small meetings, they have to be sold in same manual process as larger meetings Hotels Lack Effective Short Lead Time Marketing Channel –Hotels have little or no way to fill short lead time business –Marketing efforts focused on larger, long lead time meetings –Need incremental revenue at a low cost of “distribution” 4

Corporate Planner Challenges Planners need information quickly to plan and buy – Corporate planner lead times average 37 days – 3 to 5 day RFP process to get pricing/availability – Prolonged process to gather information on guest rooms and meeting facilities/AV/F&B Planners want to use existing travel procurement channels – Calculation & Measurement of meeting costs assist in minimizing spend and complying with corporate travel mandates – No dealings with multiple Hotel Systems/Channels, Telephone or e-RFP – Prefer GDS/TMC Channels that offer central visibility and quicker purchase time 5
