Hospitality and Travel Marketing Review

Having read the book while taking the class from the author, I feel Alastair did a great job of taking a topic that could be dull and lifeless and putting a little fun in it. It's one of the few text books that has applicable use after the class is over. The topics are well researched and presented in a way to keep you going to the next chapter.

Check-In Check-Out: Managing Hotel Operations (8th Edition) Review

I bought this book to understand better the modern age in the hotel industry. I run a small hotel in Greece with my family and now we are building a new more up to date one. This book helped me to understand the hotel industry as a whole and the way it is changing. It covers with detail many issues, from GDS to bed making. There are hundrends of examples that make it easy to understand what is being discused. It is abstract at the beginning of every chapter and becomes more practical (how to do things) further on.
Although the books draws most cases and examples from big properties, I found it very helpful and discovered many ways to improve the service we offer in our small hotel.
It is one of the books that I will keep for reference and the bestI have read so far, among those that try to cover almost every aspect of running a hotel. I can not think of someone in the hotel bussines who would not find this book intresting and worth reading.
