It has been brought to our attention that MARPA Conference attendees (who have attended in previous years) are receiving telephone calls to make their hotel reservations at the B Resort & Spa for the 2018 MARPA Conference taking place October 24-25 in Orlando, FL.
MARPA and the B Resort & Spa will NOT call potential attendees to book accommodation. Online booking on the MARPA website and calling the B Resort & Spa at (407) 828-2828 are the only ways to reserve a room.
Please do not provide them with any details of your reservation and do not give them your credit card details.
These individuals are identifying themselves in different manners, which are all false. These include, but are not limited to:
- Representatives from the Official Housing Bureau
- Representatives from the Reservations Department of companies called the Exhibitors Housing Services; Exhibitors Housing Management; Convention Housing Services; Trade Show Housing; Global Travel Partners or Exhibitors Management
- Staff from the B Resort & Spa
They may leave a “1-800” telephone number to call back.
They request that you provide your credit card/personal information for various reasons such as:
- The hotel rate has dropped and they would like to adjust the cost
- Rooms are running out and must be booked as soon as possible
- Rooms are sold out but they can find you an alternative hotels
- Claiming they can get you a better room rate than the conference organizers
We are working to address this situation and appreciate your cooperation and concern.
If you have been approached via telephone or email solicitation, please email us at katt@washingtonaviation.com to provide information regarding your experience.
