November Lodging Council Meeting
November Lodging Council Meeting
Dear Lodging Members,
Great conversation today about programs for lodging. Many noted the desire for networking exclusive to the lodging community. Since we have Business After Hours for you to network with other businesses, some great ideas included:
- Regional connections (along Hwy. 66, Fall River, Hwy 7, Lake) to get to know our neighbors and host open house visits so we can become more familiar with nearby properties to refer and refer supply chain solutions.
- The lodging trade show in April could have a vendor showcase during the morning and then we can turn the room for cocktails to focus on an “Estes Inspired” theme with Visit Estes Park to provide a taste of member restaurants and bars… something your whole staff might enjoy.
- The trade show luncheon might include a panel of speakers from Visit Estes Park, the Colorado Hotel & Lodging Assn, Destination Analysts and Air DNA. We would have guided conversations at each table for members to share best practices and success strategies as they get better acquainted.
- One member suggested a speaker panel that includes banks and realtors to talk about the value of your property based on financial performance.
- A former EALA board member suggested we create a Facebook group for lodging so you can access each other’s wisdom and share information faster than the Chamber can send a group email!
This is your chance to sound in. Scroll to the end of this page and add any ideas you have to add to this list. We ended the call with
- The Community Recycling Committee information on the barriers and opportunities for recycling.
- An open invitation for a member of the lodging community to serve on the TAB & Shuttle Committee.
- More information below on a new coffee table book from the museum that would look great in every hotel lobby in town – our guests love to binge on history!!
