BROOKFIELD – While the trend in recent years has
been the staycation, statistics are showing people
will once again be hitting the road and staying in
hotels for their summer vacations.
Matt Drusch, director of sales and marketing for
Brookfield Suites Hotel & Convention Center, said as
of May 1, the hotel was showing a 15 percent
increase in hotel reservations for the months of
June, July and August, compared to the same time
period last year.
“The pick up has been fairly strong going into the
month,” Drusch said. He said the past few years
advanced reservations for those months have been
soft.
“A lot of it does have to do with the big events
going on,” Drusch said, indicating Harley-Davidson’s
110th anniversary party in August.
