Cherita Howard, sales manager for the Accra Beach Hotel, a 175-room hotel on the Caribbean island of Barbados, was debating what to do about a request from the West Indies Cricket Board. The Board wanted to book a large block of rooms more than six months ahead during several of the hotel’s busiest times, and was asking for a discount. In return, it promised to promote the Accra Beach in all its advertising materials and television broadcasts as the host hotel for the upcoming West Indies Cricket Series, an important international sporting event.
