Warren Buffett once said that he owed his success to reading 500 pages per day. But who has time to read books these days, right? Well, if you want to be successful, you should make time, because the most successful people in any industry are known to be voracious readers. And hotel management requires no less!
With that in mind, I have written a book ‘Hotels – An Enigma’ that encompasses every aspect of Hotel Management to help you become masters of your craft. Here are some of the benefits of picking up this book and reading it.
It familiarizes you with different types of hotels: Hotels nowadays tend to fashion their brands around a handful of categories that help travelers select one that is most suitable for their needs. In doing so, hotels make it clear that they are equipped to cater to guests with very specific needs, instead of trying to be a one stop solution for all kinds of travellers. These requirements can range from a need for economy, a need for luxury, a need for pampering, or a need to be entertained. A few of these categories include boutique hotels, luxury hotels, resorts, etc. Being up-to-date with every category is crucial as each category caters to a specific set of customers. Once you’re well versed with the categories, identifying the right hotels for yourself (as a traveler) or picking the right customer base for each segment (as a marketing expert) becomes very easy.
Establishes a strong foundation: As a vast, dynamic and growing industry, the hospitality sector offers tremendous opportunities for Hotel Management students to rise above the rest. However, the hospitality industry operates in an extremely competitive environment. Therefore, it’s important for students looking to become successful professionals to develop a foundation about the industry they’re entering. My book does just that and ensures you kick off your training or career in Hotel Management on the right foot.
Teaches you the importance of time management – Effective and productive time management is one of the most valuable assets to cultivate, if you want to survive in your job in the hospitality industry. Any role you undertake in a hotel is demanding and requires everyone to multi-task and devote their attention to a dozen things at the same time. If you don’t know how to manage your time well and are unable to plan schedules in advance, you’re going to slip up in your responsibilities. My book provides effective time management strategies that can turn your time into gold and helps you do justice to all the tasks you’ve undertaken.
‘Hotels: An Enigma’ is a surefire way to learn and make your mark in the hotel industry. There’s a wealth of knowledge hidden within its pages and each chapter is an eye opener. After all, I have the insider’s advantage, and I am passing that on to you now. So grab your copy of the book today!
