March 10, 2009 - The Economic Recovery Stimulus Package contains extensive
opportunities for hotel sales departments to stimulate revenue in a year
when leading industry analysts are predicting negative occupancies and
ADRs.
�In anyone�s experience, 2009 is going to be tough year but the new
Economic Recovery Stimulus Act provides lead opportunities,� says Carol
Verret. �Now is the time to get ahead of it before the competition
does!�
In this web cast we will explore opportunities and provide tools and
links to follow for these revenue opportunities:
-
Government � State and Federal. Look for the State Departments
of Transportation to begin a flurry activity in awarding contracts if they
haven't already. Who do you think is going to oversee and regulate
all these projects � Federal government agencies?
-
Alternative or Renewable Energy. This covers everything from
wind and solar to bio fuels. How do you find the companies
that will conduct meetings and produce transient business?
-
New Electric Grid Suppliers. This includes the development
of the infrastructure technology for the grid as well as the manufacturers
of the components. In addition, there will be all of those consultants
and engineers who will provide the expertise. Look for utilities
companies to jump on the opportunity!
-
Health Care. Health care has been a recession proof
industry but the implications making health care available to more people
should stimulate new projects, new money available for research and all
of the outpatient and auxiliary services, such as testing and analytics
labs, that accompany this. The health care database is huge
project that will produce demand.
-
The Automotive industry. Yes, I said the automotive industry.
People are keeping their cars longer � there is resurgence in those franchises
and industries that supply servicing and parts. These companies are
having meetings!
In this web cast we will give you the tools to locate and appeal to these
groups � web sites and links to prospecting opportunities.
This web cast should be attended by hotel sales professionals as well as
revenue managers and GMs.
