In order to meet company’s need for long-term growth, expansion plans are also provided with specified implementation plan. Paid for $1,000 U. S. dollors, customers expect perfect services without any disappointment.

This interaction helps in strengthening the business firm and using its resources more effectively. 1.

...Planning the holidays Let me present some reflections on the issue that, I dare say, must be the most exciting for majority of ordinary people, who spend the most of their lives (from 5 to 7 days a week) working and then have a couple of weeks of holiday in summer months (if they have luck). It is planning holidays. In our modern world we can refer to a lot of travel agents, who’ll try to help us choose the best variant for our holiday among infinite multitude of different destinations, tours and travelling programs. It is convenient on the one hand if one has financial opportunity and a willing to trust the planning of their holidays to a manager of a travel agency. He may offer the tourist any kind of a tour according to their wish. To my mind, the most all-embracing and effective way from the informative, cultural point of view is to go on a tour to a foreign countries (or even the places in your country you have never been to) with a bunch of people you don’t know (and even may not like). Joining such tour is a good idea, because it’s rather hard for an average tourist to get around on their own. Some tourists like to make their way around leisurely to see the sites, they don’t like the fast pace of tours, they’d rather have the time to take in each site, not rush through it just to take a picture and say “I’ve been there”. But tours come in all shapes and sizes; one can find the exact offer that isn’t too fast-paced or strenuous. Some tourists...

...the Penang Mutiara There are many luxurious hotels in the South-East Asia region but few can compare with the Penang Mutiara, a 440 room top-of-the-market hotel which nestles in the lush greenery of Malaysia’s Indian Ocean Coast. Owned by Pernas-OUE of Malaysia and managed by Singapore Mandarin International Hotels, the hotel’s General Manager is Wernie Eisen, a Swiss hotelier who has managed luxury hotels all over the world. He is under not illusion about the importance of running an effective operation. ‘Managing a hotel of this size is an immensely complicated task,’ he says. ‘Our customers have every right to be demanding. They expect first-class service and that’s what we have to give them. If we have any problems with managing this operation, the customer sees them immediately and that’s the biggest incentive for us to take operations performance seriously.’ ‘Our quality of service just has to be impeccable. First of all this means dealing with the basics. For example, our staff must be courteous at all times and yet also friendly towards our guest. And of course they must have the knowledge to be able to answer guests’ questions. The building and equipment, in fact all the hardware of the operation, must support the luxury atmosphere which we have created in the hotel. Stylish design and top-class materials not only create the right impression but, if we choose them carefully, they are also durable so the hotel still looks good over the years. Most of all though...
