Stay firm on your decision to not join the CVA'S 2% BID fee. This is such a stupid idea
especially when the economy is tanking and business has decreased.
Let the big hotels join the CVA on their own, not Palm Desert.
The CVA doesn't know what they are doing — to add 3 more sales people to their already
useless sales force is ridiculous. The "Reno Dream Team" need to leave & bring in
qualified people that understand this unique animal called the "desert".
Woody Peek is the worst — his former Travel Manager Clyde was caught formatting
"phony" sales leads that were sent to the member hotels & Woody didn't do anything
about this. He has now hired a new person who doesn't have any experience in the Travel
Industry, but has good management skills according to Peek & this person will replace
Peek when Peek takes over Beckelman's position in 2 years. Also Woody likes the boys
and this new person like the boys also. Party time!!
Rumor on the street is that you are holding out as pay back for what they did to Mike
Fife. Good for you Ms. Benson. Mr. Fife knows what he is doing & ran a good CVA and
was very rooted in this community, unlike the idiots that are currently in place.
I'm not identifying myself as I'm involved in the Tourism Business here in the Valley.
