STM - Present and Future Challenges for the Hotel Industry
Learn form executives of leading global hotel companies how their companies, in an unstable economy, will respond to their biggest challenges in 2003 and beyond. This senior panel will discuss their views on:
  • enforcing contract performance goals-with the looming threat of losing business
  • rates on the Internet that often undercut corporate deals
  • reverse online auctions-will they ever work for hoteliers?
These issues will be thoroughly examined with interaction from the audience in a lively session that will leave all well-prepared for the next RFP season.
