Dallas Ban Costs Hotels a Million Dollars in Lost Revenue
At the Hyatt Regency Dallas, general manager Steve Vissotzky says the Hyatt has lost more than $750,000 in ’03 sales because the ban includes hotel meeting rooms. Cigar Aficionado magazine canceled a March event there, and Philip Morris nixed a meeting in August. Over at the Fairmont Hotel, meanwhile, GM Frank Naboulsi says ban-related cancellations total $250,000 so far.
