Irving's Attrition-Free Program - DFW Promise Now

More than 100 North Texas hotels, including several in Irving, are offering special incentives, such as attrition-free clauses, for group meetings booked and held in Irving and the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan through June 2010.

Designed to address meeting and event planners’ most essential priorities, the DFW Meet Now Promise co-op program includes the following incentives:

• Competitive rates and proposals from Irving area hotels with a guarantee of fully waived room attrition.
• 20 percent discount from participating ground transportation providers.
• Additional group discounts and comps on American Airlines.
• A convenient on-line solution for the meeting planner by visiting where they can register their RFP on line.  Client preferences will be matched to venues, hotels and meeting requirements.


What is attrition and why do hotels charge attrition?

• Attrition clauses are a part of standard hotel contracts used to ensure that organizations fulfill their contracted obligations.
• Attrition fees are applied when a conference group cannot fill at least 80%, or an otherwise agreed upon percentage, of the contracted number of rooms.
• The organization is responsible for using a minimum number of sleeping rooms per contract and if those minimums are not met, attrition penalties, meeting room and exhibit hall charges will apply.
• Attrition fees are compensation to the hotel for the rooms that might have been sold had they not been removed from the market by contract.
