Kansas City and St. Louis tournaments, Ozarks lake weekends, Branson show trips, college Saturdays — Missouri moves visitors every week. Bookend pays the businesses behind those trips on every stay booked.
These are the MO markets where we have mapped lodging operators — the businesses that actually hold the beds your guests end up in. Counts and rates come from our own supply bank, not from a rate card.

Kansas City leads the state in mapped operators, but the lake and Ozarks markets are the ones that behave like event markets: Table Rock Lake, Branson, Osage Beach and Lake of the Ozarks together carry more supply than St. Louis, and nearly all of it is whole-property rental stock booked by groups for a weekend.
Because the inventory is rentals, not hotel rooms, and rental supply is claimed by leisure demand on a rolling basis rather than held for contracts. By the time an organiser negotiates a block, the properties a group would actually want are already gone to bookings that had nothing to do with the event.
No. A hotel partner is one way to route guests, and it is the way that carries a contract and an attrition clause. Presenting bookable options at the point of purchase and earning on what books carries neither.
Six questions about what you sell and how many customers you get, and we'll map the adjacent spend in your MO market.
