Beware OF HOTEL POACHERS The Peppermill Resort Spa Casino is the ONLY contracted hotel for the 2022 RETA National Conference. Room poaching is a practice carried out by third-party companies that act as travel agencies. These poachers may inform you that the hotel room block is sold out or offer a discounted rate. This is not true. We have been made aware of solicitations to the 2022 RETA National Conference from convention housing bureaus offering reduced hotel rates. These housing companies are known as Hotel Poachers or Hotel Pirates. They are NOT affiliated with the 2022 RETA National Conference or the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino. How hotel poachers book rooms and attempt to get your money: Most poaching agencies do not have a contract with any hotels for room blocks they will contact a housing wholesaler, such as Expedia, Priceline, etc. to see if rooms are available that they can mark up to resell to unsuspecting guests and typically, want your money upfront, paid in full. DON’T BE MISLED! **There are NO 3rd party housing companies authorized to represent RETA or the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino.
