This is a formal document or process used by event planners, meeting organizers, or corporate clients to gather general information from various hotels or venues about their capabilities, facilities, services, and pricing for a potential event or group booking. It's typically the very first step in a procurement or selection process, preceding a more detailed Request for Proposal (RFP).
The purpose of an RFI is to cast a wide net and collect preliminary data to help the planner narrow down their options. It's less detailed than an RFP and usually doesn't ask for specific pricing or detailed proposals. Instead, an RFI might inquire about a hotel's capacity for certain types of events, available dates, general meeting space dimensions, food and beverage options, available technologies, and overall suitability for the event's general requirements. Based on the responses to the RFI, the planner can then decide which hotels are a good fit and invite only those select properties to submit a more comprehensive and detailed Request for Proposal (RFP).
