Summarize the article and its key points. The Cvent’s survey of planners found that event planners were on the rise to acquire more events than ever before and that is due to the increase of marketing and sales executives doing a great job as the article states. Planners from North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South Africa were planning to spend more money on resources they were unable to make in the past. For example, since the budget for spending increased for meeting planners, they were going to invest more in the food and beverage sector, live music, entertainment and surprises just like the author stated. Cost and event space with the aspects that it comes with were two of the main components that the business meetings needed to study first in order to plan out a meeting in the establishment. The respondents were more appealed to choose a destination based on the name and the brand they were deciding to get. As well having the notion that they would incline their decision based on the good or bad reviews that the establishment receives. A major key point is that an approximate one third of the respondents wanted to have a clear attention to detail in the RFP with the communication they were receiving. This is an important element to keep on track if the event wanted to continue because if it lacked the communication part about what the event was going to be about then respondents will simply drop the conversations down and decide to go to the next venue for more options. Cvent’s hopes to do some more research by specifically selecting regions and emphasizing on a narrower format. The respondents were more appealed to choose a destination based on the name and the brand they were deciding to get. As well having the notion that they would incline their decision based on the good or bad reviews that the establishment receives. 3 PERSONAL REVIEW OF THE ARTICLE I chose this article because it deals with how nowadays the financial demand when talking about making an event or meeting is costing. Prices are reaching never before seen numbers and as time passes by it is just increasing because of the demand that the industry needs to occupy spaces for events. I am amazed to see the results that almost three quarters of the respondents said they expected a savings of about 6 percent when going back to the place they acquired in the past. I understand when you are a regular guest and patron of a business at times you might get a discount of some sort but nevertheless if the market trends are shifting in different directions and prices are being implemented in higher costs, than the regular guests have to take that into consideration that they will be having to pay the same or a little more than usual just to cover those unexpected expenses. In addition, for the turnoff rate, I find it appropriate that is close enough to the 50 percent range of the respondents in terms of lack of communication because nowadays being able to communicate is the proper way that you can voice your opinion and it is basically what makes the hospitality industry work. The article relates to the course because in order to book your next conventional meeting and gathering in a venue desired, you need to see all the factors involved. For example, financial situations, how much space does the venue hold, if there is going to be food and beverage served, how long the stay is, what technological equipment is being offered and most importantly the communication aspect of getting things done is needed. As well, with the high demand of meeting planners wanting to book their services in venue establishments, they need to be aware that the job market for hospitality majors is rising and competitions amongst each other are being seen more and more and in order to stand out from the rest of the crowd, planners need to have the necessary knowledge to implement it to it’s employees. The article relates to the course because in order to. 4 REFERENCE PAGE Shapiro, M. J. (2019, August 14). Conference Planners Working With Bigger Budgets, More Events, Says Survey.
