SUPPLY
DEMAND
Decreased value- priced airlift and CVB marketing efforts continue to limit unconstrained demand compared
to last year high season.
The leisure segment is expected to lead the market mix this quarter in both weekdays and weekends. Tour
bookings are moderate as a result of the Visitor and Convention bureau’s decreased promotion on cultural
and arts events. The Small Group segment continues to show level pace and demand, compared to last
year.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
Association Members have noted the need to sharpen their property distribution strategies as increasing
price sensitivity in the Leisure and Small Group segments is leading to the use of a full array of channels in
efforts to locate value pricing and availability.
While multiple channel bookings may tend to raise reservations cost, it may be possible to offset these costs
with increased profits from the higher ratio of add-on sales generated by Leisure and Small Group
Segments.
