ECONOMIC EVALUATION BY LOCATION
The Economic Evaluation by Location Section gives you a tool to determine what room pricing is considered normal. Some locations show seasonal pricing which is based on current business trends. The pricing is a tool to see if a city is financially feasible for your event. Depending on the business demand over specific dates you may find pricing higher or lower.
