Mark Simpson (speaker) recommends that hospitality owners attend their local BNI meetings because being the sole hospitality representative lets them generate contractor and business bookings. He explains the mechanism: members include startups to established businesses with contractors and visitors needing accommodation, and the weekly pitch format lets hosts repeatedly introduce themselves and state what bookings they want.

I know so many hosts that utilize their local B and I and they get so many contractor bookings or business bookings on the back of it. Why, if you are a hospitality owner there can be no other hospitality owner around the table. So you are literally representing your industry at this meeting. At this meeting you're going to have people ranging from startups to established businesses and they will have contractors, they will have workers, they will have buddies traveling in from out of town, need an accommodation when they come to the local area. So by you literally being at the table, you have a face, you have a recommendation right there. And the cool thing about this meeting is that everybody gets to stand up and have a little pitch. You can talk about what you've been working on, talk about what you're doing X, Y and Z. And so at that you can, you know, every week explain who you are, what you do and you know what you're looking for.
