Event planners are discovering that this time of the year – and especially this year – may not be such a good idea to expect good attendances. Even the freebies with mega-hospitality are not enticing the majority to rush their registrations through in case of no seat availability. To the contrary – loads of seats remain unfilled.
Year-end function bookings are not doing any better. Except for those venues that have tailored cost structures carefully – in turn giving the potential client a really good deal for the packaged offer – a number of venues are likely to witness slim pickings before the recess.
Simply put – people are tired and stressed with last minute ‘stuff’ and merely wish to fold their tent and re-charge those batteries for 2015.
