General Feedback: Venues

• Venues• Include proximity to restaurants and amenities in future selections• Offering concessions in venues to provide less expensive, quick

options for lunch• In future contracts will be requesting 30% rooms at government rate• Will be contracting 3-4 years out to get more attractive options
