Recommended vs GM Budget: Dash recommendation is $3.28M vs GM's $3.03M (+$252K / +8.3%). Key drivers: FIFA World Cup rates in Jun/Jul (+$56K combined) and sustained RGI 130 performance with new sales coordinator.
Why RGI 130? Built in 2018 (newest in compset), with a dedicated sales coordinator now in place. GM Budget RGI of ~120 is conservative. RGI 130 is achievable through midweek corporate sales and FIFA rate optimization.
