Strategies for Securing Hotel Rooms in High-Demand Cities
So, how does ATPI manage to secure hotel rooms when others can’t? It’s all about strategy, foresight, and relationships. Maarten employs a multi-faceted approach that begins long before the event takes place.
- Advanced Planning: ATPI anticipates high-demand periods and begins negotiations with hotel partners well in advance. By forecasting busy seasons, we can lock in room blocks early, ensuring our clients have guaranteed accommodation for the best price.
- Strong Partnerships: Over the years, we’ve cultivated deep, trusted relationships with hotel chains and independent properties alike. These partnerships give us priority access to rooms, even when availability is tight.
- Network: When traditional options are limited, ATPI leverages its strong network with sports federations and organizing committees. These valuable connections allow us to access accommodations that are often reserved for event officials. Insider access ensures that our clients have priority for rooms that might not be available to the general public, providing them with suitable and often premium accommodations, even in the most challenging situations.
- Insider Access: Our long-standing relationships with hotel partners play a crucial role in our ability to secure rooms during high-demand periods. Due to their consistently positive experiences working with ATPI, many hotels proactively reach out to us with new and available options, even when the market is tight. These trusted partnerships mean that, in times of high demand, ATPI is often given priority access to rooms, allowing us to provide our clients with the best possible accommodations.
These strategies ensure that ATPI remains a leader in the travel industry, consistently delivering on our promise to secure accommodations in even the most challenging circumstances.
