Marketing a Hotel Online In a Struggling Economy

In a struggling economy, businesses slow down. This is especially true for hotels as their growth is directly related to the health of the economy. Consequently, your marketing budget shrinks and you need to be careful about how to spend your marketing budget wisely. In other words, identify what marketing methods work, and what don't. It is more important than ever that you pay attention to your return on investment (ROI).

In 2008, 37%-38% of all hotel bookings will be generated from the Internet (one-third in 2007, 29% in 2006). At least another third of all hotel bookings will be influenced by the Internet, but done offline (call center, walk-ins, group bookings, etc). All major hotel brands are already generating an excess of 40% of the (CRS) bookings via their brand websites. By the end of 2010, over 45% of all hotel bookings will be completed online.
The internet has surfaced as the leader in travel and hotel sales. It has established itself as the most important distribution and marketing channel in the hospitality industry. Since this is the case, it only makes sense for you to give some serious thought and planning to Internet-related campaigns in your hotel's marketing mix. In other words, when your marketing budgets shrink, you could benefit by accentuating your online strategy versus offline strategy. The bonus is that Internet marketing is almost totally measurable, which allows for quick evaluation and continual adjustments to improve results.
Mau yg lebih vulgar?
The primary objective of all your online marketing efforts should be to attract the right visitors to your web site and to encourage them to make a reservation. Of course, bringing more and more visitors helps in brand building exercise too. There are several ways to promote your website online. Below we list just a few of them.
Hotel Internet marketing starts and ends with the hotel website. The hotel website has become the first, the only and in many cases — the last point of contact with the travel consumer. It is only natural that creating and enhancing the hotel website should be the top priority. The objective is to create an attractive look and feel; and at the same time make sure that the website is content/feature rich so that it provides required information to its visitors.
Most of the hoteliers are content with having a web site as the sum- total of their Internet marketing efforts. Whereas the fact is that having a website is just a starting point and not the end. Once you have a well designed website in place, it is crucial that you promote it or market it online. What's the point in spending all that time and effort to create a website which brings in tiny amount of visitors? If promoted properly, your website can generate substantial amount of leads and reservations for your hotel.
You need to keep a close eye on latest trends and usability enhancements and accordingly enhance the website at regular intervals. However, more often than not, it doesn't happen. A fine example could be the screen resolution with which websites are designed. We noticed that a lot of websites still cater to 800x600 pixels screen resolution (perhaps, even less) whereas the current trend is that more and more computers are using a screen size of 1024x768 pixels or more. Therefore, a substantial amount of web page real estate is going wasted.
Another example could be that of images and graphics used on websites. Many hoteliers don't realize that today, Internet users have a lot more bandwidth/internet speed at their disposal than what they had a couple of years ago. Still, many websites continue to use small sized, highly optimized graphics, thereby compromising on quality and presentation. These are just a couple of examples. There are several other factors contributing to websites being archaic – verbose content copy, poorly done virtual tours, confusing navigation, and other redundant elements.

Taking Advantage of Open Source PHP MySQL Applications

One obvious solution is to approach a software development company and obtain a custom built product. However to take this approach one needs to first know what features and functionality is desired. Then on the other hand in some instances the need does not warrant the cost of commissioning a custom application.

A plethora of free open source web applications exist today. Regardless of the specific circumstances of the need these applications can quite often prove to be a valuable resource.

http://freshmeat.net is one of the best online directories of open source applications. A quick search on freshmeat.net for say "intranet", "cms" or "groupware" will yield pages of results. Browsing these results any application marked beta, stable or mature is a possible solution. A large majority of the available web applications would also state PHP + MySQL as the platform.

Oh well I need to have some Linux Server and it's way too hard is a common reaction. Fortunately this is not entirely true. If you wanted to host a large scale production site then the chances are that a custom Linux server may well be a requirement. However just evaluating on your own PC, or setting up a solution on your LAN for anywhere between 1 to 100 users can be easily realized without custom Linux servers.

The solution is in another open source free product known as WAMP server. The acronym stands for Windows Apache MySQL PHP server. WAMP is extremely simple to install and a good platform for either evaluating PHP + MYSQL applications or operating the same for up to a few hundred users.

Visit www.wampserver.com
Or www.wampserver.com/en/ for the English version
First it is important to note that most open source PHP + MySQL applications will not run correctly on the latest versions of PHP and MySQL. For this reason instead of the downloading the latest version of WAMP server click on "downloads" from the left menu and then click on "older versions at sourceforge" This will take you to
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116092
scroll down and select "WAMP5 1.4.3". Download the WAMP5_1.4.3.exe file and install it on your computer with default options.

Once installed and started a new icon will appear in the icon tray near the date/time on your task bar. Left click on this icon to activate it's menu which allows you to restart or edit the configuration files.

Changing the web server port if necessary.

One common reason for wanting to edit configuration file is in case you already have a web server running on the same computer. In this case you would need to change the port address used by apache to something other than 80. In this case 8080 would probably be a good alternative choice.

-------Changing the web server port address Begin-----------
Click on the WAMP server icon and from the menu under "config files" select "httpd.conf". A long text file will open up in notepad. In this file scroll down to the line that reads "Port 80" and change this to read "Port 8080", Save the file and close notepad. Once again click on the wamp server icon and select restart all services. One more change needs to be made before we are done. In Windows Explorer find the location where WAMP server was installed which is by Default "C:\Wamp". Next goto the subfolder named "www". Inside here you will see another subfolder named "phpmyadmin". We are looking for a file named "config.inc.php". In a default installation this file will be at "C:\Wamp\www\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php". Open this file in wordpad and find the line that reads
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost/phpmyadmin/';
Change this line to read:
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/';
-------Changing the web server port address End-----------

Now open a web browser and access http://localhost . Or if you changed the port address to 8080 then goto http://localhost:8080/ You should be greeted by the WAMP welcome page. For each application that you wish to install create a new folder inside the "www" subfolder of where WAMP was installed. Lets assume that WAMP was installed at "C:\Wamp".

Let say for example you wanted to install Mambo (www.mamboserver.com)
1) You would download the .zip or .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file and uncompress it using winzip or winrar into "c:\Wamp\www\mambo".
2) You would access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and access phpmyadmin. In here you would create a new database for mambo.
3) You would then access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and from the list at the bottom of the page you would click on Mambo
4) You would then be greeted by the mambo installer which is a simple 5 step process. (the default username for MySQL is root and the password is blank as in an empty string)

Let say for example you wanted to install oscommerce
You would download the .zip or .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file and uncompress it using winzip or winrar into "c:\Wamp\www\oscommerce".
1) You would access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and access phpmyadmin. In here you would create a new database for oscommerce.
2) You would then access the wamp welcome page http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080/ and from the list at the bottom of the page you would click on Mambo
3) You would then be greeted by the oscommerce installer which is a simple process. (the default username for MySQL is root and the password is blank as in an empty string)

And so on and so forth.

Any PHP + MySQL web application which does not provide an automated installer is most likely not a very mature application.

Human Recources Management Tips for Hotels

The hotel business is one of the most cut throat and competitive businesses in the world. Usually the human resources manager has his or her hands full all the time because of employee complaints and a very high turnover rate. However, there are a few human resources management tips for hotels that can eliminate some of the problems that plague most hotel human resources managers. Since one of the biggest problems that a human resources manager in the hotel industry faces is the issue of employee retention, many of the tips address that issue.

The first tip revolves around choosing the right person for each job. Choosing the right person for each job can be one of the hardest tasks of the human resources manager. In many cases only people will low skill levels apply to many of the jobs offered in a hotel. It is the job of the human resources manager to make sure that the person chosen for the job will do it correctly and have staying power. This can be done through the interview process. With the right questions each applicant's answers will reflect how they feel about the job.

One of the most important human resources management tips for hotels is to make sure that each employee enjoys working in the hotel and that they have all of the training and supplies that they need to complete their job effectively. One of the biggest complaints among hotel staff members is that they are required to do too many jobs that they do not have the training or tools to do it with. The human resources manager that takes the time and money to train employees and equip them properly will have a much higher retention rate.

Another part to the human resources management tips for hotels is to follow up on the jobs that the employees do. Providing performance reviews and incentive programs will go a long way into making the hotel experience better for both customers and employees. If the employee knows he or she will get a benefit from doing excellent work then they will be more likely to perform at a higher level.

Another great tip for the human resources manager is to have a lot of positive reinforcement. If they employees feel they are in a friendly environment, then they will produce better work. Everyone likes to be noticed when they do a good job so catching employees doing their jobs properly is an important part of being a human resources manager. This is also very important in the hotel business because customers can always tell the tone of the staff. If they see happy staff members the customers will be more likely to return to the hotel.

Another aspect to the human resources management tips for hotels is to implement a clear progression plan that employees can use to advance in rank and salary at the hotel. If employees feel they will be stuck in the same job and pay grade throughout their time at the hotel then they will move on to another hotel or business to increase their salaries and duties. If there is a clear advancement program in place at the hotel that they already work in then they will be more likely to stay at the place they already work.

Perhaps the most important thing for a human resources manager in the hotel business to do is to lead through example. If employees see the human resources department taking short cuts and doing poor work then the rest of the staff will reduce their quality of work as well. However, if they see the human resources department working hard and providing the best quality of service that they can then the employees will improve their work as well.

All of these human resources management tips for hotels will provide a basis to use as a springboard to increase the productivity in your hotel. Follow these tips and you will soon see an increase in the mood and service level of your hotel. The human resources position at any hotel is one of the most important jobs in the hotel, so it is very important that it is run professionally and well.

The Diverse Hotels and Attractions of Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto is a unique city that blends multiple eras of Japanese history into one cosmopolitan collection of old and new.  On the surface it appears like any other large city, but exploring a little deeper opens up a whole new world.
Golden Pavilion by daniel437
With such a collection of attractions, it should be no surprise that the accommodations in Kyoto have been influenced by the changing culture, and many styles are available for those seeking an escape from the norm.
The options are so plentiful, that it’s easy to pick a style of room and find one within a decent walk to many of the top sites.  As a result, those looking to stay in a capsule hotel, traditional ryokan, or even a luxury hotel can easily get out and enjoy the city without sacrificing location in the process.
Ryokan – Tradition at its Finest
The ryokan is one of the most widely recognized Japanese accommodation styles displayed in international media.  Sliding doors, paper walls, and traditional tatami mats are all available to give those seeking an authentic experience the historical accuracy that is craved.
In seeking out tradition, cost seems to inflate at a comparable pace.  As a result, the styles can run the gamut of basic all the way to luxurious while maintaining the same traditional style.  Japan’s history is often well preserved in these accommodations, and it is not uncommon to find some that are converted temples; indeed, a perfect way to preserve Japanese history for many years to come.
The Ryokan Rakucho Kyoto is one of many budget ryokans in the city, located just north of the city center.  Guests are within easy walking distance of the Golden Pavilion and the Ryoan-ji stone garden.  A half day tour of the sites will leave one focused on Buddhist teachings, as well as Zen thoughts after some quiet reflection.
Capsule Hotel – Not Just for Businessmen
View from Capsule Hotel by atom_balm
Often advertised for the working class of Japan as a way to have a quick nap during the day, the capsule hotel has grown to momentous proportions in Japanese cities.
Locals and tourists flock to these bunk sized rooms for a taste of the unusual.  Although sleeping in a space no larger than a normal person is not for everyone, Capsule Hotels often offer amenities to heighten the experience such as large spa style baths for guests to use to relax after a long day.
One such capsule hotel is The Amenity Hotel, a 15 minute walk from the Gion district on the east side of the city.
Luxury Hotels are Plentiful!
While unusual style accommodations are high on the list for many traveling the world, they are not for everyone.  Luxury hotels in Kyoto are available in all corners of the city, and are perfect for those willing to splurge for comfort and convenience.
The Monterey Hotel Kyoto is located in the city center; however those looking for a quick escape out of the city are just a short train ride away from the beautiful Bamboo Forest and Iwatayama Monkey Park on the western outskirts of Kyoto.  Travelers can easily find themselves surrounded by thousands of fully grown bamboo trees in a dense and secluded forest. Hikes up nearby hills provide encounters with almost 180 wild macaques in the wild and additionally, amazing views of the city of Kyoto.
With such a striking varierty of attractions and accommodations within the city, those visiting Kyoto have something to enjoy around every corner.

Top Five Underwater Hotels

Utter Inn
Utter InnUtter Inn exterior
Underwater hotels are still largely a product of a vivid imagination. Several are in the planning stage or are currently under construction. A man named Mikael Genberg definitely had a vivid imagination when he constructed his Utter (Otter) Inn in Vasteras, Sweden in 2000. An artist and sculptor, Mr. Genberg chose to focus on “making art for the public” when he built the Utter Inn.

This one-room inn offers guests the chance to sleep 3m below the surface of Lake Mälaren about 1km from shore. The Inn resembles a large buoy with the appearance of a Swedish red house with white gables. For an extra charge Mr. Genberg will deliver dinner to tenants, otherwise, guests are on their own.
Utter Inn

Utter Inn

The room offers panoramic views of the lake and an old switcheroo with the fishes. Instead of looking at fish in an aquarium, guest of the Utter are in the aquarium with the fish looking in. The Utter is truly a singular experience that few have known. However, it is a wildly popular destination during the summer months. Reservations well in advance are recommended.
Hydropolis
One of the underwater hotels currently under construction is the Crescent Hydropolis of Dubai. Dubai has become notorious in recent years for its fabulously modern architecture. It seems the wildest architectural dreams become reality here. The Hydropolis furthers this notion. At a cost of some $550 million, the luxury resort is being built on the Persian Gulf floor – 66 feet below the surface. When completed, the project will cover 27 acres and compose of an above ground “land station” connected by a 1700 foot transparent train tunnel to the undersea hotel which resembles the shape of a jellyfish. The 220 suites will be bubble-shaped, with clear glass comprising both the sleeping area walls and the bathtubs. I suppose modesty must be checked at the front desk also. Anxious sea-dwellers will have to wait until 2009 before making a reservation. You may even want to have a look at some existingDubai hotels before diving into the ocean for Hydropolis.

Hydropolis


Poseidon Undersea Resort
Another underwater hotel set to open in 2009 is the Poseidon of Fiji. This resort is being built 40 feet underwater. Another 5-star resort, the Poseidon is the brainchild of American submarine engineer Bruce Jones. Mr. Jones was heavily influenced by the novels of Jules Verne and movies like “The Amphibia Man” (obviously).

Each guest will have a personal Triton submarine at their disposal for exploring within the lagoon. For excursions to the area’s depths, tours on a 16-passenger luxury submarine will be provided. Activities are also available on Poseidon Mystery Island which has been artificially constructed for the resort’s purposes. Though still under construction, room rates have been set. A standard 550 sq. foot suite can be had for about $1500 a night. But why stop there when you can reserve the whole of Poseidon Mystery Island for a mere $3,000,000?
Poseidon

Visitors will be able to see everything from their rooms through transparent acrylic walls and even feed fish swimming by. The luxery hotel is set to open by the end of 2008.
