Have your summer 2009 reservations started to come in?

[muirford]

We have a big block of bookings for our theater festival in July, which we generally re-confirm around the end of January, but some of those guests have already contacted us to confirm. I have some reservations for popular events out into December 2009, even with rate increases scheduled for April.

There are a couple issues at play - so we can bide our time and be hopeful in this New Year:
We just had a major election - turmoil always follows. Once we have our new President in office people will start to feel more secure and go about business as usual. For that reason, I know reservations will begin trickling in AFTER that event.
The economy - once that simmers down a bit, I believe people will again go on short term trips, visit relatives, think about their retirement, etc again. I think everyone is holding their breath right now, understandably. Not necessarily an improvement in the economic flop we are in, but just stabilizing a bit.
People are still celebrating anniversaries, they will seek out B&B's... Let's market our places well to snag those guests. Any suggestions - please toss em out here.

in the area where i was in maine, reservations have started to come in (not to the place i ran yet) the little hotel and the biggest inn in the nearby village have started booking. remember, this is a 'summer seasonal' area basically memorial day to columbus day. i always tried to stretch the season to include may and october. places to stay are limited so folks know to book early.
last may and june were very very slow in the area ... the rest of the summer was so busy it made up for the slow two first months.

I agree completely! Market to the events/venues that make it the reason to visit your area. One of the things that I'm doing this week while doing projects is some brainstorming about specials & packages (mentioned in the other thread). I just found out that it's not likely that this large museum here will open on time. I need to stay on top of that one to have a special promoting the opening, and luckily I have an inside information track on it.

There has been nothing in the paper yet...actually the paper just this week published a prior projected opening date which is NOT correct now.
Meanwhile, I have referred away several rooms for this week but that's OK...I have maintenance projects happening! Since I'm the maintenance crew, it is what it is

I can't do everything....

hey oceans! (love that name)
i have some 'irons in the fire' so to speak. i will let you know..

There is a B & B near where I live and they want an innkeeper two days a week. I think the innkeeper will get housing too but they want a couple to do it. Could be two sisters, two friends or whatever.

My reservation book is making a liar out of me. I said they are not making reservations far in advance - have all 3 rooms booked for 2 nights in late July, 4- nights mid July, a package in June and today got a package (turned it from room to package) for March (anniversary referred by a previous repeat guest).
He said Frank tells him what a great place we are every time it comes up and when I told him about my fresh-raosted coffee that I did not have when Frank was here, he laughed and said he will now have something to rub Frank's nose in.
Coming in slow, but more than usual and sooner than usual.

I just had a cancellation from a longtime guest who would have gotten a free night this year. I think it's going to be one of those years. Their reason for being here, to visit a kid, is unnecessary as the kid is not going to be here. Which I think is indicative of the economy, they may not be able to afford to send the kid here for camp. I hope all my campers aren't in the same fix. We've already lost 3 rooms of the 5 I usually have for that weekend.

Bitter cold temps have people thinking about coming south....
We have been experiencing a slow booking period with reservations only being made within 2 weeks of arrival. Today is a different story...I have had several bookings from the Northeast for this spring.

This seems to happen every winter especially during bitter snaps.

It works in reverse as well...when you all start hitting 80-90 in March & April, I get calls!

I had one for a week once wife of golfer made rez - pro-golf event here. Had a shared bath available with room to himself. HE called the next day to cancel - he did not want a shared bath and had found another golfer to room eith. Guess what fella - you are not only sharing a room but also sharing a bath!! It was all I could do to keep from laughing on the phone. I just hoped the guy he was sharing with was a heavy-duty snoring machine! I admit to being evil.
