Unquestionably, meeting professionals, incentive/recognition travel specialists, and association executives have been enjoying a buyer’s market this past year. The question being asked is “how much longer will this trend last?” Experts say it appears that the pendulum is beginning to turn, with increased market demand, diminishing supply, and virtually no pipeline of new projects on the horizon. Therefore, anticipating the repeating cycle shifts of the hospitality sector, many savvy planners are locking in today’s rates and favorable terms and conditions, for programs in 2010, 2011, and beyond. There are still very good deals at many hotels and resorts for both short-term and longer-term placed programs, so meeting professionals should take advantage of these great opportunities while the market is still in your favor, and these “special conditions and offers” remain on the table.
An easy way to check out great opportunities at distinctive Four- and Five-Diamond quality hotels and resorts is to visit the “ALHI Luxury On Sale” section on Associated Luxury Hotels International’s website www.alhi.com .
ALHI’s very popular “Luxury On Sale” program enables planners to stretch their buying power by easily identifying extraordinary opportunities that are available at ALHI’s 125+ Four- and Five-Diamond quality member hotels and resorts worldwide. On ALHI’s website, there is a consolidated list of available opportunities, which enables you to search by property, state, dates, and/or rates. The program is continually updated with the latest offers, making it an easy and reliable “one-stop shop.” Many meeting professionals and association executives have the “ALHI Luxury On Sale” page www.alhi.com/luxuryonsale/ marked as a “Favorite” for quick access, as one of their first website visits when they’re putting together a program.
