[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

In your message, you asked, if conventioneers, particularly
those who are opposed to such things as transportation discounts,
are going to pay full price for hotel rooms.  You also
pointed out that larger conventions come to New Orleans,
and do not receive as great a discount, alluding to the
idea that this discount is not just basssed on the fact
that NFB will bring a lot of people to the hotel, but
that NFB will bring a lot of blind people to the
hotel.
This is a good point to explore and discuss!
My first question is if other groups, for instance
nonproffit organizations, can receive this same discount.
Or, were you referring to when corporations come to
conventions in New Orleans.
Another question that arrises, is that the two organizations
probably have contracts with the hotel to use a particular chain frequently.
This may also account for the discount.
