Pace Report
The Pace Report provides strategic benchmarking data, tracking performance, pace, and peer set metrics at national and regional levels. This helps identify trends and opportunities to optimize group booking numbers.
YTD Production as of End of May
Booking Pace: The VGPS team is 30% ahead of pace for 2025, with 255,839 room nights booked compared to a target of 196,953. The focus for 2025 at the start of the year was securing short-term bookings specifically for Q4, and thus far the team has booked 15,513 room nights into Q4.
Looking Ahead
Looking into 2026, the team is currently 12% ahead of target with 137,979 room nights booked against a goal of 122,941.
For 2027, we are currently 8% behind of target with 66,630 room nights booked against a goal of 72,152.
Top-Producing Segments: The top three are High Tech/Electronic/Computer, Educational, and Health & Medical.
Top Regions by End-User: The strongest geographic markets for definite room nights are Southern California, Southeast, and the Midwest.
The sales team and the Director of Business Development are strategically focused on improving performance during the off-peak summer season. Because group bookings for summer at our destination are typically secured a year in advance, we are taking proactive steps now to drive growth during this critical period for next year.
