What does the Destination DC staff provide? - Assists with the production of a housing form and customized hotel map with the proximity of the hotels participating in the room block

To assist meeting planners in capturing last minute hotel reservations that are often made after their contracted room blocks are sold out or released back into general hotel inventory, Destination DC has partnered with Advanced Reservations Systems (ARES). ARES is geared specifically toward assisting with last minute requests for reservations and tracks all post cut-off hotel reservations giving the meeting planner a full picture of the total pickup of the group. Most importantly, there is no cost to the meeting planner or attendees for this service.
