Porterage A selection of wines from Portugal. The carrying of guests' bags in a hotel. valet The cleaning of guests' clothing. The top chef in a hotel. All the things that guests have to pay for. All around the world the Internet seems to be getting involved with everything.
Hotels are no exception.
Listen to what Yousif has to say about effect of the Internet on hotel trade. People can book hotel reservations in a number of ways, including most recently, through the Internet, which is becoming more and more important for hotel bookings. I wouldn't say overall it is going to increase our bookings, we just have to be aware of it, because it's a different method of the way guests can book. So we have to make sure we are offering the right rates at the right time and in simple English, so that everyone around the world can understand, as now it is not just travel agents accessing the hotel information, it's somebody sitting at home. So it is important that we describe the roomsl in easy to understand ways, such as front of the hotel facing the road rather than some code which nobody understands.
