Makrand Bhave  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Most definitely YES!!
Sulagna Brahma  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
I don't think it will much attract Indian customers. Indians are not so much aware about the product and its value. It may attract foreign tourists...
Adesh Dalvi  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
Adding a spa typically represents a very considerable capital expense and it is labour intensive also. It is usually included in the hotel packages of High end. Therefore dont feel it is still the right time to invest in spa by the Indian hotels....

1 Provide optimally-priced quality
2 Internet Marketing
Vinoy Scaria James  |  Supported idea  "Acceptable price with high level of service"  |  1 year ago
But one should also be careful to see that there is over-reduction in the rates as it will affect the services of the company in the long run
Sourabh Suman  |  Added idea  "Acceptable price with high level of service"  |  1 year ago
Price should be in reach of the targeted customers and service should be better than others.
selvamani  |  Supported idea  "Provide optimally-priced quality"  |  3 years ago
Yes.  Compare the service money is not the matter.  But how many hotels they are taking care their guests personally like earlier.  In 90's the hospitality staffs not only worked for money they got some satisfaction on duty while serving...

1 Joint promotion
2 Creative ads
Munshi Ramchand  |  Added idea  "offer the customer the best service "  |  6 months ago
There is no bigger advertisement than offering a client the very best service. Even in five starred hotels in India, you can find smelly and dirty cutlery, dirty tables, soiled floors, lizards,cock-roaches and house flies. If you can take effort...
M Singh  |  Supported idea  "Joint promotion"  |  6 months ago
Firstly, do a self evaluation; is it a 3, 4 or a 5 star property? Being into service industry, it must look into translating its services into some form of tangibles in its communication endeavor. This is good for brand recognition.... Again, i...

Vinod Hyanki  |  Answered  |  2 years ago
I think all the best point have been mentioned but still to add I would say some brochures can be kept with every travel agency. Instead of focus on only few loyal travel agents we broader approach should also be used ,
Vinoy Scaria James  |  Answered  |  1 year ago
It is crucial that both the hotels and travel agents have to appreciate the need of working in tandem. Self regulgulatory bodies of both should be proactive in seeking the smooth cordination  of this partnership. Together we stand to gain...

1 Modifying the original plan
2 Anticipate
Rajat Mittal  |  Supported idea  "Modifying the original plan"  |  2 years ago
I agree to Mr. Ahmed, if we can modify the plan according to the situation it will be of great help.
Ahmed Sultan, ITC  |  Added idea  "Modifying the original plan"  |  2 years ago
Modifying the original plan to correspond with the existing (or short-term forecasted) demand. Unfortunately, hoteliers have little control on creating additional demand. The current demand will not be like that forever. Therefore, my approach...

1 Different cultures
2 Young Population
Anurag Dave  |  Added idea  "Different cultures "  |  3 years ago
I think this will be a major factor for the Hotel industry and the tourism, becuase India is so vast and a tourist if he wants to go some place else he just can sit in train and the next morning he will feel like he has come to another country in...
James Masih  |  Added idea  "Young Population "  |  3 years ago
I think Indian population is right now very young, according to a survey done during the elections it is said that more than 50% of Indian population is less than 30, so this should give a great oppurtunity every industry to set up its base here..
AKRAM ASLAM  |  Supported idea  "Young Population "  |  3 years ago
YES .. this is right that majority of Indian Population is YOUNG and in future only the young generations are expected to/will innovate the newer means of lifestyles and experiences.. this is a very good oppurtunity for India as its populations...

To a certain extent only, for high end customers, quality of habitability also matters

Mainly focused on their corporate body but not for customer.
Ahmed Sultan, ITC  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Yes, loyalty programs can improve hotel revenues if they really provide tangible benefits to the frequent travelers. It is important not to deal with the customer as a database record. However with the support of IT, substantial added-value...

I firmy belive that we should retain our existing guest ,that is only possible with giving best of best quality services ,moreover contant touch of higher level hotel personnel with the guest should be there .
Ahmed Sultan, ITC  |  Argues in support of  "New Customers"  |  2 years ago
Without reducing the efforts exerted in retaining the existing customers, the focus should be more on acquiring new customers. In addition to maintaining the constant growth, new customers would maintain the survivability of the business through...

Hello Freinds, I would like to share this article with you and hope that you have not made such mistakes..   It’s All About Me Me Me!This is probably the biggest mistake committed by businesses (big AND small) today. It’s a marketing sin. What am I talking about? Focusing on the business instead of the customer... Watch the TV and you’ll see that even multi-national corporations do this and it is nothing more than hot air. Nobody likes a big mouth and this form of marketing is simply corporate bragging and there’s no faster way to turn off your potential customer! But there’s a wickedly easy solution that will stop ‘Me Me Me’ marketing in its tracks and polish it into a client focused work ...

 I got this beautiful posts on  http://www.searchquotes.com/   To   live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.   The fear of being wrong, different, or socially unaccepted or unpopular is one of the biggest inhibitors to one's creative juices. When a person can do things without worrying what people will think of him, then a person can use their creativity with no limits, and take their work to places they probably would never of imagined going. One of the biggest rules to being creative is to first disregard everyone's opinion. The creativity you have is what makes your work your own, and changing it to fit into someone else's mold would defeat the purpose of it all.  Remember when being creative that your work doesn't have to be a pop icon or anything but it has to at some point change society in some way(s). Everyone has their own creative flow and energy, it is all about sticking to your gut feelings, despite the consequences or feelings of hesitance you might...

At last all will be finished, then why so constant hard effort for attainment of consciousness? What is the benefit suffering so much sorrow– pain – hardship for it? At last one time this creation will be destroyed, then why this unbearable painful run of life? What is the benefit – being a fully developed human being or attaining the god head?
