I at Wonderland Himachal, through toostep would like to appeal all - that its high time to bring in the concept of Home-Stay in tourism trade. No more jungle of concrete around, already we had enough, lets maintain and keep our rich culture, art architecture and traditions alive. This is what is the need of present tourist visiting from abroad, its nt about hotels and restaurants that they visit India, rather they are keen to get to the ground level and know India as it is. Lets bring the revolution in, it will definately help the local community, providing jobs to them and teaching them about sustainable tourism....

As hotel and restaurant operators prepare for post-9/11-like operating conditions, an effective way to reduce internal accounting costs and utility consumption is to adopt a sophisticated utility data management system. The majority of multi-unit hotel and restaurant operators have utility invoices sent to their headquarters where they are processed by internal accounts payable clerks or they are processed at the property level by management who should be focused on service delivery and revenue management. While on the surface the direct labor costs may make this seem like an efficient strategy, if one were to dive deeper into the indirect costs, and opportunity costs associated with this s...

Hello friends, Times are tough and, as a result, budgets tend to shrink, thus in times like this, more and more hoteliers are looking to the Internet and other electronic sales channels to generate new revenue. How does web 2.0 help them and what could be best ways to do it? Let's have a look at it...!! Marketing and promoting online has become an organic process – less to do with technical systems and more to do with the people that see it. As a hotel, you are no different: you need people to link to your hotel's website or blog to create more awareness about your hotel and its brand. But how do you do it? How can you create a buzz online that attracts other websites to link to yours and c...

STORY OF KARAMBIR SINGH KANG-THE SAVIOUR OF TAJ HOTELS MUMBAI 26/11 Karambir wasn’t supposed to be his name. At 22, Kanwaljit Kang was married and pregnant. One night, she had a dream. A saint opened the Sikh holy book and said, “Name your baby, a son, Dusht Daman.” Kanwaljit only laughed. Such a hard name for a child, she thought. The name meant “Destroyer of demons”. The saint was right. A boy was born. For eight months, he went without a name. Finally, Kanwaljit and her husband Jagtar went to a nearby saint to ask for another name. A name not so rough. But the saint said the name should stay. Still, Kanwaljit resisted it. No, we must give him something more modern, she thought. A softer name. They settled on Karambir. It meant, “A person who does brave deeds”. Now, Kanwaljit, 61, cries when she talks about her son’s name. She wipes her eyes with her dupatta continuously. Her makeup smears into little rain clouds around her eyes. “If I had given him the name I was supposed to,...

Which supplements should YOU take? Many of us are seduced by the promise of better health and increased vitality offered by vitamin supplements. But will taking supplements really make us healthier? Tom Sanders, Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics at King’s College London, says there is no ‘magic pill’ when it comes to nutrition, and as taking supplements often goes hand in hand with a healthy diet, it can be difficult to evaluate their benefits. Furthermore, nutrients from food are sometimes more readily absorbed and used by the body than those in a pill. Please find below the ultimate guide to the nutrients that are vital for good health... VITAMIN A VITAL FOR: Sight and bones, and to make infection-fighting white blood cells . Despite lab studies suggesting anti-cancer properties, there’s no evidence that A protects against tumours. RECOMMENDED DAILY AMOUNT (RDA): 0.7mg for men; 0.6 for women. GOOD FOOD SOURCES : Pumpkin, carrots, sweet potato. LIKELIHOOD OF DEFICIENCY:...

21 Tactics to Increase Blog Traffic (Updated 2012) January 17th, 2012 - Posted by randfish to Content Blogging 146 0 It's easy to build a blog, but hard to build a successful blog with significant traffic. Over the years, we've grown the Moz blog to nearly a million visits each month and helped lots of other blogs, too. I launched a personal blog late last year and was amazed to see how quickly it gained thousands of visits to each post. There's an art to increasing a blog's traffic, and given that we seem to have stumbled on some of that knowledge, I felt it compulsory to give back by sharing what we've observed. NOTE: This post replaces a popular one I wrote on the same topic in 2007. This post is intended to be useful to all forms of bloggers - independent folks, those seeking to monetize, and marketing professionals working an in-house blog from tiny startups to huge companies. Not all of the tactics will work for everyone, but at least some of these should be applicable and...
