Learn how to mitigate attrition fees
Reservation attrition clauses are at the forefront of every event and meeting planners mind. On one hand, planners must make sure there are enough hotel rooms for participants, but on the other hand, they don't want to overpromise bookings to the hotel and under deliver. Even after you've maxed out the number of hotel rooms you drop on reduction dates, and you still have left over space, there are steps you can take to mitigate paying the penalty for unused group reservations. Smart meeting planners will request control of the group reservation block as long as possible to allow last minute attendees to book their rooms. If the hotel wants you to pay for rooms not booked 60 days out, negotiate down to 30 to minimize costs and accommodate latecomers.
