09 Dec 09 How To Beat The System On Business Lodging
Our economy stinks! Traditional business practices are being sliced and diced across the board when it comes time for business meetings or conferences. Yesterday’s Hilton lodging bills are today’s Motel 6 reservations, and all eyes are trained on the McDonald’s Dollar Meal menu as per diems shrink to fit into the new budgeting requirements.
Well? Don’t just sit there; speak up! When traditional methods are not working in any business situation, it is time to explore the options that are sitting outside of the box.
Lodging Logic:
- It is often cheaper to rent a furnished luxury vacation home by the week than it is to rent hotel bedrooms by the night.
- Luxury vacation homes come completely furnished with towels in the bathrooms, and locking bedroom doors.
- Large vacation homes come with private pools, game rooms, jetted tubs, and other all other attractions that can be found in newer upper-class housing.
- Luxury vacation homes have a fully equipped kitchen with new appliances and dishes in the cupboards. Guests just supply food if they would like to eat their meals at home.
- Large vacation homes are in safe private neighborhoods where traffic, parking, and noise are not an issue.
- Cheap large vacation home rentals are available in all areas of the world where the economy has crushed the real estate industry. New expensive vacant houses are being outfitted for overnight guests until they sell.
- One low price is charged for as many guests as would like to stay on the premises in the large vacation home rentals.
When life hands out lemons, it is time to set up the supplied blender in a luxury vacation home kitchen to create your famous lemon chiffon dessert to share with your weekend roommates in your very own mansion.
Why rent a bedroom when the whole house is cheaper? And, for even more fun, these large vacation rentals are available near every tourist location on the planet. With proper planning, a discounted cruise ship can drop you off at your meeting destination with ease.

07 Dec 09 Yippee! It’s Government Meeting Time!
Planning for government meetings is never a problem when you consider all of the wonderful attractions that our American National Parks system has to offer. There are National Park locations near beachside resorts, cool mountain streams, and in exotic locations such as Alaska, Hawaii, Wyoming, The Virgin Islands, or Guam.
With our current government funding cutbacks and resource readjustments that are affecting government meeting plans from coast-to-coast, the only way for meeting planners to beat the system today is through working with the system by taking your important conference or business meeting on the road to a place that the government already owns.
The majority of the US National Parks have thriving tourist industries built up around their exteriors so that appropriate accommodations and meeting facilities are available to government employees near the chosen park if not actually on the property.
With so many people involved in healthy lifestyle routines today, a simple working cruise to the Virgin Islands to explore the government’s sandy beaches, beautiful coral reefs, and breathtakingly beautiful scenery, might just be the big answer towards planning your next government conference or meeting agenda.
From the days of our youth, we all remember that little rhyme about making lemonade when life hands you lemons. Funding cutbacks did not stop the President of the United States from remembering that Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park could be his conference spot during the year 2009. If the government owns the land, it is fine to plan a government meeting or conference at that location.
