Among the more effective kinds of publicity that a hotel developer can get for a hotel location is to offer all potential new customers a free week at the hotel and to advertise this offer in the office of a well-recognized travel agency. The benefits of such an offer include not only a sure increase in new regular customers compared to the number of new regular customers that the hotel could expect without such an offer, but also a commission paid by the travel agency to the hotel developer.
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above?



(A) The number of people for whom experiencing one week at the hotel provides an adequate substitute for visiting the hotel on a regular basis is smaller than the number for whom the free week stimulates a desire to return on a regular basis.



(B) Because the financial advantage of offering a free week through a travel agency usually accrues to the hotel developer, some travel agencies are unwilling to promote the free week.

(C) In calculating the total number of customers that a hotel has attracted, hotel developers include the number of people who utilized the free hotel stay offer.

(D) The effectiveness of offering a free week through a travel agency, measured in terms of regular customers for the hotel, is proportional to the recognizability of the agency in which the hotel was advertised.

(E) Hotels that appeal to the average person visiting a travel agency draw more regular customers than hotels that do not appeal to the average person visiting a travel agency.
