I've never understood the tourism angle? Why would the orange bowl or the committee care about people booking hotels? Why do they care about anything more than people buying tickets to their game and watching it on tv (which is where I assume the bulk of the $ comes from)?
I take it you didn’t do very well in Economics class

This past January, the three major South Florida airports of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and WPB combined for over 3.9 million passengers flying into those airports alone.... that's over 125,000 passengers arriving every single day.
A few extra thousand people staying in a hotel room is a drop in the bucket compared to the volume of vacationers down there at any given time... especially the winter months.
I can assure you that Miami has no problem filling hotel rooms around the New Years holiday.
Florida is likely to bring more fans than Alabama anyway. Many may drive home that day, but I would think the Orange Bowl would care more about stadium attendance than hotel rooms.
