Can you see any opportunity that might be lacking in your district for hotel services and if so, list them and explain why you believe these are lacking? I was investigated 6 hotels in my area. Reach Customers: Only one of them was 5 stars, so only that Hotel can receive specific customers. My experience is, if someone coming in this area ( postal, or Caleb.. ) they always staying in the Systematic Hotel, because only that hotel can ring the perfect opportunity for these people. I think it would be important to bring more (rich) people to the area. Water Sport, water park: Also missing some water sport, or adventure park from this area.
It would be very important to have a few watermarks here, where the families could spend nice time the Sea, but the Irish weather in not perfect for this kind of holiday. Languages: Languages are very important. We could get more people for holidays, if more people could speak more languages. My experience is, not many people speak languages. Irish hotel businesses could advertise in other countries their accommodation, or vive special offer for them. Irish people are very lucky because they speak English language which is the most popular language in the World. Ireland need more people from other countries, but Irish people need to know these languages. Report briefly on set task number 2. Contact a manager or senior staff at local hotel. Do this in person, by email or phone, and introduce yourself as a student. Enquire about their establishment. Are there structured policies in place? Make notes. I choose Middleton Park Hotel for my project, in Middleton, Co. Cork, Ireland. I spoke with Jason, He is the Manager. The establishment originally was a family home. Later – in 1985 – they started a family run B&B. It was a very beloved hotel, so they had to build more rooms. It was a very big renewal project in 2001 , when they built another 50 rooms, and the Wellness Centre. They are specialized for Weddings, Conferences.
They have rooms, that they can rent out for local businesses for trainings, or meetings. The Wellness Centre is very popular in the local community, because anyone can buy a membership, and the Hotel has a good equipped gym and sauna, swimming pool and different kinds of classes. The Leisure Centre try to retain the privacy, for this reason none can buy daily ticket to the swimming pool or to the gym. The people can use them only with membership. 4. Report briefly on set task number 3 Contact the local tourist bureau, or contact your state’s department. How are hotels advertised and promoted in tourist brochures. Are they rated in terms of facilities, cost, access, etc.? How do they cater for specific clientele?
I went to the local tourist bureau, to find out how the hotels advertised themselves. I found a few free brochures about the local hotels, accommodations, B-s. It also a ewe flyers about different venues, or events. Usually the Hotels bring brochures to the local tourist office. The Hotels paying the cost of the flyers, brochures, and the tourist office give place for the brochures on their shelf – as a possibility to meet with the customers. I also found a book, that is coming out in every year, with different contents, for expel Hotels & Guesthouses” or Bed & Breakfast in Ireland”. If a Hotel wants to be in the book, they have to pay for it.
