What is the Bw Premier Collection Hotel's obligation regarding responding to requests for proposals?

According to the 2025 Bw Premier Collection FDD, a Bw Premier Collection hotel must respond to requests for proposals, such as those for transient guests or groups, by the due date indicated on the bid. This requirement ensures that the hotel actively participates in securing business through various channels.

This obligation means that franchisees must have systems in place to promptly and efficiently handle incoming requests for proposals. Failing to meet this requirement could result in lost revenue opportunities and potential dissatisfaction from Best Western International (BWI) sales clients.

This requirement is fairly standard in the hotel franchising industry, as prompt and thorough responses to proposals are crucial for maintaining relationships with corporate clients, meeting planners, and other potential sources of group bookings. By adhering to this standard, Bw Premier Collection hotels can maximize their occupancy rates and revenue.
