Ms Denyse Campbell:

Demand has subsided as we come into a slower period. Hotels have probably taken contracts, from what we can see. Hotels make their own decisions and it is up to each individual business to make them. There is now less demand for businesses. On the flip-side, businesses are experiencing significant costs, including energy, food, beverage and linen costs. The cost of doing business is such a challenge for us that hotels entered into the contracts. I believe the contracts probably run until the new season, which is March or April, then it is up to each individual business.
