Had a really cool opportunity to discuss the World Cup impact on STR bookings in Austin. Has anyone else has seen an impact on bookings from the world cup? Even though we're not a host city, we have gotten some bookings in the properties we manage for people visiting while also going to games in nearby cities.
I just had a 5 day online training seminar with PriceLabs. Today, the guy said that bookings in FIFA game cities have been down because demand from game ticket holders is way less than thought, and the guests who would have booked there in normal years have avoided those cities this year, thinking of the crowds and increased prices.
