The results are based on per person - double occupancy!

Consider it done!

In light of the recent economic climate the issue of cost is again at the forefront!!! I'm opening myself up to continuing this study? Please respond with the following information - per the first post...

 

_________ $ for 7 nights occupancy (double) - cheapest room option possible at your resort (inc airfare and taxes)

_________ # of invites sent

_________ # of guests attending

_________ Resort Name

_________ # of stars of resort

 

 

I'll run the numbers!

I missed this thread first time around...I booked last year in March...do you still want my numbers? Or are you looking at current pricing (I think I'm a little confused!!)

 

I will give you the info anyway!

_anywhere from $1000 to $1500 per couple (airfare only b/c we are providing accommodations for all of our guests) since are guests are flying from CA, FL, OH, and majority from CT/NYC__ $ for 7 nights occupancy (double) - cheapest room option possible at your resort (inc airfare and taxes)

___13______ # of invites sent (1 invite per couple)

___18 so far but awaiting more responses______ # of guests attending

Okay here is mine during Thanksgiving weekend:

 

____2229_____ $ for 7 nights occupancy (double) - cheapest room option possible at your resort (inc airfare and taxes)

___115______ # of invites (will send soon)

___80______ # of guests attending (we think, maybe more?)

__Dreams PV_______ Resort Name

___5 (but I say it is 4)______ # of stars of resort

 

Most of our guests are only coming 3-4 nights though - only a few are coming for a whole week

[Jess]

sorry to make this clear - above is the rate for 2 people not 1 - so about $1100 per person for o7 nights and air

Okay here is mine for next week pre-flu (and hopefully post-flu)

 

____1640_____ $ for 7 nights occupancy (double) - cheapest room option possible at your resort (inc airfare and taxes) (I averaged b/c flights are from all over the US and vary)

___150______ # of invites (will send soon)

___33______ # of guests attending (we think, maybe more?)

__Moon Palace Cancun_______ Resort Name

___5 ______ # of stars of resort

 

Although a confound exists now... not only the economy but the violence and swine flu may play a factor for some, might need to star the Mexico weddings.

 

Are you going to look any deeper at the stats like correlations between price and attendance? As a fellow stats geek I'd love to run this through SPSS or something and look at it.
