Meeting Planners and Hotel Suppliers: Let's Be Fair There's Good New and Bad News First, some GOOD NEWS:   Meeting planners appear to be booking again. Now for the BAD NEWS:   Many meeting planners are demanding current heavily discounted room rates guaranteed for 2010, 2011 and beyond. Could it be that planners are telling resorts now, "I don't care about your fiduciary responsibilities - - - that's your problem"? What's needed now is for both planner and resort to agree that predatory relationships should never be allowed to exist. Both planner and resort need to continue to seek out strong relationships for the long term. Read what DB&A has to say about important steps your hospitality operation must take soon to survive the downturn of the corporate meetings market. See David Brudney's latest article: "Meeting Planners and Hotel Suppliers: Let's Be Fair".
