It’s a good way and opportunity for companies to express themselves. To me this article is very interesting because it’s related to my course work in promotional marketing.

AFTER READING A COMMENT MADE BY A CLASSMATE ON ANOTHER CLASS MATE’S WORK.

ANNA GODEFROY to MALANIE. I am commenting my point of view on her article. To me, I do not believe that “FTF will always stay the most powerful, wherever technology goes” quoting ANNA GODEFROY.

It will not stay powerful cause let face fact and reality today technology example video conference, web came, fax, email, phoning etc… are very important, vital and a convenient way to for hampered workers in the business world, not to talk of the spaceman using technology (web came) not FTF for month to communicate.

If I understood what Melanie wrote about her article very interesting, it’s not about the fact that people preferred FTF and FTF stay powerful, because there is no way for sure that we know how the customers made their booking directly for it can be by phone call, mailing, faxing and probably by FTF so to me FTF can’t stay powerful.

After reading This article about Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal celebrates 30years of hospitality with brand affiliation and a major Multi-Million-Dollar Hotel wide Renovation brings me back to “the top ten issues in the hospitality industry for 2007. I agree with this topic due to the fact that I am a Gen-X with different tastes and preference that is changing as I am aging. Now the GenX, the GenY, Millenniums, “Seniors” wants quality more than quantity. We are more “Ecomateur” making sure our environment is safe, not polluting, more economic use of energy etc… and if we take a look at this new splendid hotel from a different angle.

The” workers” then I will talk about “The Labour and Skill Shortages” it can be very difficult for the hotel to employ and retain a. qualified staff. It can be a big challenge for this kind of industry or any type of industry. Also I saw and read another topic “Innovation in Hospitality and Tourism by MIKE PETERS the information got from this book is very interesting. I can see/ understand the measures of product , service effect, work in hand or contributes to its objectives.
