Today more than ever, travelers are interested in an experience….as the pendulum swings ever so quickly back to the days when travel and hospitality were synonimous. Welcome back to Hotel marketing 101!

Let’s revisit the reasons we became interested in the hospitality business. Do you remember when the fundamental ideas of providing a destination, an experience and a place to stay were equally important? If you remember the unabashed pride in hearing your guests gush about what they did that day and how excited they were to come back and do it again, tell their friends, bring their kids and grandkids, then you are a true hotelier.

Our mission is to  present you with ideas on how to provide your guests with package options sold direct that include experiences which will transport them beyond the banal and boring. We will share with you new activities that may be found in your own city and destination that can be used to build  your own experience related packages. We will also provide you with a forum for driving travelers to read reviews of these experience based packages as well as give their own opinions to others about your hotel, your destination and your guest’s overall vacation experience. We will help you to empower your employees, your guests and our country with the power of knowledge and  access to your online information directly. Travelers will access your web site, your hotel packages and your booking engine directly without having to navigate a myriad of web sites and booking paths. And yes, you will be able to direct them to send you reviews of your services that have been posted by their cohorts…other travelers who have stayed at your hotel without having to navigate through online travel agencies. What a concept? Your hotel, your experience, your direct website and booking engine. Isn’t it time?
