Travelers clear the air on smoking regulations

Aug 14, 07 | 1:58 am
TripAdvisor®, the world's largest travel community, today announced the results of its smoking survey of more than 1,400 travelers worldwide, revealing that nearly 90 percent of respondents believe hotels and restaurants need to be clearer about whether they are smoking or non-smoking establishments, and where smoking is permitted and prohibited.

Eighty-six percent of travelers surveyed are non-smokers. While only 14 percent identified themselves as smokers, 23 percent admitted to "social- smoking." Twenty-two percent of travelers said that visiting a city or country where smoking is prohibited is "always" a consideration, while 34 percent said it is "sometimes" a consideration. Whether a destination prohibits smoking is a bigger consideration among smokers than non-smokers.

The Smokes on You
The biggest smoking pet peeve among respondents was checking into a designated non-smoking room, only to find it reeking of smoke, according to nearly 50 percent. Thirty-six percent most resent having smoke waft on to them from another table at a restaurant. Among Europeans, the restaurant smoke violation is a greater offense than checking into a smoky hotel room.

Stub it Out
Twenty-eight percent of travelers surveyed said they "always" avoid locations where smoking is allowed in public places (such as certain restaurants and hotel lobbies), 39 percent said it is something they "sometimes" avoid.

Fifty-three percent of respondents agreed that smoking bans are "the greatest thing since sliced bread." Twenty-one percent believe that smoking bans create a new nuisance, with smokers congregating outside of restaurant and hotel entrances.

Smoke 'Em if You've Got 'Em
About one-quarter (26 percent) of respondents believe there is a need for hotels in which smoking is permitted in all areas, eliminating the need for "smoking floors," in otherwise non-smoking hotels. About one-third of travelers surveyed (33 percent) believe smokers should be allowed to puff away in open-air restaurants and line/queues. Six percent of respondents said smoking bans are unnecessary.

No Butts About It
When asked how they address people who violate non-smoking areas, 39 percent said they move to another area, 22 percent ignore it, and 19 percent ask the perpetrator to stop or move. Twenty percent go so far as to call management. Europeans are more confrontational than Americans, as about one quarter will ask a smoker to stop or move, compared to only 15 percent of those from the U.S., who are far more likely to just move to another area.

When asked about the fines for smoking violations, 53 percent said they are not familiar with the fines, 23 percent said they are too small, 17 percent said just right, and seven percent believe they are excessive.

Puffing Profusely in Paris
According to the survey, France is the "smokiest" country in the world by a landslide 25 percent of the vote, followed by the U.S. and China, with seven percent each.

"Travelers, for the most part, seem to have a 'live and let smoke' philosophy," said Michele Perry, director of communications for TripAdvisor. "While there is a public outcry for restaurants and hotels to better define smoking areas, it is interesting to note that one third of respondents actually support smokers' rights in open-air restaurants and lines."

Double-digit growth continues for the Middle East hotel industry

Aug 14, 07 | 1:58 am

Half year results from the HotelBenchmarkTM Survey by Deloitte show the Middle East hotel market continuing to enjoy double-digit growth for the fourth consecutive year - with revPAR increasing 13.7%.

During the first six months of 2007 revPAR increased US$17 fuelled by improvements in average room rates. At US$108 the Middle East continues to boast the highest revPAR of any region - above Asia Pacific and Europe at US$97 and US$100 respectively.

Behind the figures, markets across the region have their own stories to tell and perform in very unique ways. There is a huge disparity in revPAR; with Dubai topping the scales at US$255 compared to Luxor at US$24 - a staggering US$231 difference.

Muscat has seen the strongest growth of any market in the Middle East so far this year with revPAR up 54.8% to US$164. This has been driven predominately by an impressive 44.2% increase in average room rates. Hoteliers continue to benefit from the closure of four key hotels for extensive refurbishment due to scheduled upgrades. Also the cyclone which hit the city in June caused significant infrastructure damage and forced many residents into temporary hotel accommodation.

Riyadh took second place with revPAR increases of 40.3% over the period to reach US$170. Again performance was largely due to growth in average room rates which topped US$200 - among the highest in the region.

Another market enjoying a good year is Damascus. Bucking the trend of the region, the capital of Syria, has pushed occupancy up 20.7% to 59% - resulting in a 31.8% improvement in revPAR. At US$57 this is still relatively low compared to other markets but confirms that Syria's strategy to promote its unique historical legacy is paying off.

Hoteliers in Egypt have at last started to see performance bounce back with all markets reporting double-digit revPAR growth during the first half of the year. The country struggled in 2006 following the bombings the prior year. So far this year, it has been the Red Sea Resorts that have seen the strongest growth with revPAR increases of over 30%. These have been driven mainly by occupancy which is now sitting at just below 70%.

Average room rates in Egypt do however remain among the lowest in the region making the country a very competitive holiday destination. Egypt is extending its future appeal by diversifying its tourism offering and attracting more tourists looking for city breaks, medical and wellness tourism.

Beirut and Doha were the only markets to report revPAR declines so far this year. Unsurprisingly, following the tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006, Beirut has seen occupancy levels plummet to the lowest levels in the region at 32.9%. Beirut's revPAR is consequently one of the lowest at US$39.

Doha has also seen revPAR fall by 3.6% following its excellent performance in 2006 when the city hosted the Asian Games. Hoteliers have also suffered at the hands of new supply following the partial opening of the Ritz Carlton Sharq Village and Spa and the Movenpick Tower and Suites Doha. In addition, the Ramada Doha has increased its room count by over 120 rooms. Despite the city still boasts the second highest revPAR in the region, after Dubai.

Lorna Clarke, Executive Director of HotelBenchmarkTM comments: "As expected hotel performance across the Middle East has slowed slightly compared to last year but this is still in double-digit territory. The level of investment in the region continues to astound. In the first quarter of 2007 alone, US$2 billion is reported to have been pumped into the hotel sector. Given the continued investment, strong economic performance, and the media attention the region commands - it's not hard to see why the Middle East has the highest revPAR in the world".

Rob O'Hanlon, Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure Partner, Deloitte Middle East added: "The hotel industry continues to benefit from increased airline capacity, events and new attractions. Infrastructure developments and effective marketing campaigns are also all helping to raise the profile of region worldwide. So with this in mind, we expect hotels across the region to continue to reap the rewards."

Seven habits of highly effective sales people

For hotel staff working on Christmas morning, either behind the front desk or in the housekeeping department, a rooms sales position may look like a pretty cushy job! Sales people usually don't have to work holidays or weekends and seem to have the freedom to come and go as they please. But, in reality, a sales position bears it own challenge and responsibilities to the property. Sales has the primary responsibility to generate room revenues for the property i.e. building occupancy in low demand periods and increasing average rates in peak times.

But, in order to do this successfully, it is important that a sales person is at the top of his/her game. An effective sales person should be able to produce results despite market conditions and product drawbacks and to develop existing business by taking one meeting and turning it into four.

It is also important to understand that "sales" is a skill, not a personality trait. Expert sales skills can produce business despite product deficiencies, rate structure, or market conditions. Since most owners and operators do not have perfect properties and supply/demand dynamics can change, it is even more critical to ensure that each sales person is highly skilled to generate business and to deal with client objections and problems effectively. A dedication to expert sales skills, thru a formal training program, is the best insurance for market share and profitability.

Although formal sales training is necessary, it is not the entire solution to ensure that each sales person is effective. This article will address some important "habits" that are demonstrated by the most effective sales people, to assist owners and managers in developing a highly effective sales department.

Habit #1: Know your product and know your competition.

Unfortunately, it is far too common that an established sales person has never been to a competitive property. Without that first hand knowledge, it is impossible to sell effectively if a customer is shopping your property as well as your competition. The first step in effective selling is to know your property i.e. its strengths and its weakness and what it offers to its target audience. The next step is to evaluate the competition's strengths and weakness and compare it to your property. A personal inspection and honest assessment will place the sales person in a position of strength in convincing a customer to book your property over the competition.

Habit #2: Know who your customer is.

There are few products, if any, that are all things to all people. Hotels are designed and built to attract a specific segment of the market and financial projections are based on certain assumptions of rates and occupancy generated from those specific markets. Therefore, it is important for a sales person to understand the positioning of the property and to know its target markets. Without this basic foundation, valuable time is wasted in trying to sell to a customer who will never, never use your property. For example, a budget/limited service property will not appeal to a customer looking for 24-hour room service and Frette linens on the beds. And conversely, a customer looking strictly for the lowest rate, does not care about deluxe amenities and original artwork in the lobby. Kenny Rogers had it right when he sang the song, The Gambler, "Know when to hold ‘um. Know when to fold ‘um. And know when to walk away.....". If you know who your property was designed for, you won't have to gamble on finding the right fit with every customer.

Habit #3: Listen to your customers. Understand their needs.

Having the first two habits in place will allow a sales person to fully address a customer's needs. Even if your property has the greatest swimming pool in the United States, it is important to let the customer tell you if that is a need of his or hers. Asking questions will help you understand what is important to your potential customers and will help you understand the level of importance. The information collected will once again place the sales person in a position of strength in closing the business. For example, if close proximity to the airport is the most important need for a company bringing in international meeting attendees and your hotel is the closest, that will help keep negotiations focused if the client comes back to you with lower quotes from the competition which is located much further away. Taking the time to fully uncover needs and to understand the level of their importance will allow the sales person to keep the customer focused on those stated needs. If the property cannot fulfill the customer's primary needs, then the sales person can just gracefully move on.

Habit #4: Balance good customer relations with fiscal responsibility to the owner.

Sales people tend to be attracted to "sales" because of their strong social or interpersonal needs. They like people, enjoy pleasing people and like to be liked. Therefore, sometimes a sales person is more committed to pleasing the customer at the owner's expense. But an effective sales person is able to leverage his/her good customer relations with their financial responsibilities at the property. The customer has respect and confidence in a sales person who understands the customer's needs, along with the property's market position, demand patterns, and is able to negotiate intelligently so that both parties are satisfied.

Habit #5: Develop great administration skills.

Sometimes, people with strong people skills are not "detail" people. But attention to detail is tantamount to inspiring the confidence of clients. How can they expect a meeting to go well if the sales person has misspelled their names, given the incorrect title, or didn't include the afternoon coffee break that was requested? Ensure exact details, check work for accuracy (dates, spelling, names, titles, etc.). Be organized. A neat desk delivers the message that the sales person is in control and is organized, which again inspires confidence. And be responsive and consistent. Good administrative skills will always command respect.

Habit #6: Be reliable and consistent.

Do what you say you will do. Or if circumstances prevent you from delivering on a promise, just communicate that to your client. Reliability and good communication develops trust. It is that trust that will inspire clients to book with a sales person over and over, even if the air conditioning breaks down or construction is going on across the street. Trust that the sales person has done his or her best and will honestly address every situation can inspire loyalty and help overcome any potential hard feelings if problems arise that the sales person has no control over. Return calls and send out correspondence promptly and follow up. Consistency is what constitutes reliability.

Habit #7: Continue to grow and develop.

Business is ever changing and ever evolving because of new technology, new markets, and dynamic supply/demand factors. The consistently effective sales person understands that staying current with these issues will foster sound strategic planning. A well-founded plan allows for either new strategies or staying the course. Several suggestion for staying current are to join industry associations such as HSMAI (Hotel Sales and Marketing Association International), which offers invaluable opportunities to stay current with trends and new technologies. Read local and national newspapers. Stay current with local and national trends that impact your business. Join local community organizations. By implementing these steps, not only is the sales person enhancing his/her own effectiveness and marketability, but a by-product is that the property he or she represents is promoted as well.

Therefore, to ensure that an owner or manager is getting the best ROI from their sales staff, formal sales training along with the implementation of these seven habits will assist owners and managers in developing and maintaining a highly effective sales department.
