Product Description
Twenty-two years ago, author Peter Venison's Hotel Management became a best seller in the hotel and tourism industry, labeled a 'must read" on the curriculum of every hotel school, and landed on the bookshelf of every hotel manager. Despite many requests for a follow-up volume, Venison declined, on the basis that he had nothing new to say. Now he does.
Holed up for several weeks in five star hotels while concluding a complicated business deal, Venison realized that the standards offered by the industry still fall short of perfection. As a result, he has put pen to paper to produce this handy catalogue of suggestions to hoteliers, based upon his considerable personal experience as a hotelier and perpetual hotel guest.
100 Tips for Hoteliers guides you from the inception of a hotel to its opening and operation, offering practical tips for each stage of the journey. It should prove equally useful to hotel school students as a checklist of what they can expect, and also to practicing hotel managers as a reminder of their responsibilities.
Proceeds from the sale of 100 Tips for Hoteliers will be donated to the Duke of Edinburgh Cup charity.
About the Author
Peter Venison was raised in England, and is married with four children and eight grandchildren. Since retiring from Sun International Hotels, Venison co-chairs the Duke of Edinburgh Cup, a charity for disadvantaged children.

Thought this book would be more of a handy hints for hoteliers of cost effective tips and how to get the best from your team. Have only made it through the first chapter but it is all about if you were building your own resort and how to pick the best sight not useful for the small hotel or guest house owner definately not a how to guide. May be useful for someone studying hospitality at uni but not a book for general interest

I would reccommend this book for any one in a management position within a hotel, expecially those (such as myself) in a deputy position looking to step up to a General manager position. The book covers several areas such as new openings, motivating the operation team, marketing and many more.
Simply an excellent book which i could not put down and cant wait to put into action in my hotel.

Worth reading several times

Format:Paperback
Peter Venison knows what he is writing about, and knows how to write well. His "100 Tips for Hoteliers" is easy to read and every page gives you ideas about what to do better in your own business, hospitality or not.
This is one of the few books on hotel or resort management which acknowledges that things can go wrong too. Peter Venison shows how to deal with endless rain or falling off bed legs and many more of the daily troubles reality puts in our plate. "101 Tips for Hoteliers" is far more to the point than the hospitality management classics written from the viewpoint of managers who avoid leaving their A/C offices. I recommend it to every new and every old hotel or resort manager.
