ASA Virtual Learning Series -
Negotiating Hotel
Contracts in the Current Economy
Presenter:
John S. Foster, Esq., CHME
You can be the
best negotiator in the world, but the bottom line is whether
your contract is legally clear, inclusive and enforceable.
Understanding hotel contract basics is critical to both
planners and suppliers. This session is for novices and pros
that need a refresher on the basics. It will cover legal
tips and pitfalls to avoid that every meeting professional
must understand to survive in today's business climate and
avoid expensive lawsuits. Topics will include: the three
steps to reviewing a contract proposal; John’s golden rule
for contracting; breach of contract issues- "penalties" vs.
"damages" and what's enforceable; the importance of
understanding profit margins in the hotels; the two methods
of calculating guest room attrition damages and which one is
preferred by planners vs. what is preferred by hotels; and a
recommended formula for calculating attrition damages. We
will also discuss tips on renegotiating your contract in
today's economy. The session will be interactive and your
questions will be addressed.
