If your event attendance has dropped but your hotel contract hasn’t changed, you could be facing hotel attrition penalties, which are steep fees for unused rooms or missed food and beverage minimums.
HPN Global specializes in helping planners like you eliminate attrition penalties quickly and at no cost. We use our industry leverage, proprietary sourcing platform, and decades of negotiation experience to protect your budget. We can often eliminate those fees entirely.
What Is a Hotel Attrition Clause?
A hotel attrition clause requires a group to meet a minimum percentage of their contracted room block or event spend. Falling short can result in penalties for the unused portion.
For example:
- You contract for 200 rooms
- Your clause says 80% pickup is required
- You only fill 120 rooms
- You could owe for 40 unused rooms
These penalties can reach tens of thousands of dollars. But they are often negotiable when handled by experienced professionals.
