I am sure you are receiving leads from StarCite and Hotelmeetings.com, as well as your brand or marketing group.

Have you hosted a chamber of commerce reception lately?

Do you find it productive working with your chamber? Does anyone in your sales department email/mail to chamber members on a regular basis? Have you hosted a chamber event at your property?
