Are Small Businesses running the show?!
What do you think? Is it a small business or major big brands that have gained confidence in the market? I know there is no comparison; but don’t you think the pandemic has taught us enough. This pandemic (if you notice a silver lining) has forced us to ponder and reflect upon our passion, hobbies either for fun or for generating income.

Another Insight on Luxury!
In one of my previous posts, I had shared my point of view on “Luxury”…however, I feel that I had a little more to add to the world of hospitality. In a high-octane Sporting Event, a spectator gets a Thrilling feel. In a Desert Safari, a participant gets an Adventurous feel. In a Meditation center, you would feel Sublime.

From the welcome to Check-in, from the Bell-Hop to the Elevator attendant, the well-appointed Suite to the voice answering the intercom…From the Maitre D’Hotel… to the gastronomical delight in Speciality…

A beautifully designed community with smartly constructed villas and well-defined clusters. This community is pretty self-sufficient and a well-defined plan is still in progress. We have a community center….a golf course…a dog park (where do you find that in communities…only for dogs! One of my favorite places). There are grounds for each kind of sports and numerous swimming pools with activities. Another favorite location for me, an amateur fitness enthusiast, is the enormous gym with types of equipment that you name and it is there! All in all, a…

To Upsell or Not to Upsell?
Upselling… a common term within the service industry! why do we upsell? What is its importance? Well, upselling is a tool which helps any service provider to offer a product with a little more cost or offer add-ons to earn some additional profit. This is a simple definition which is a major important tool for any service industry. However, for me….its has been a very crucial tool for “Customer Retention” / Customer Satisfaction”. How Customer Retention you may ask and why? Let’s consider a simple example, I was handling a wedding event of 1200 guests, my guest was not too aware of hotel policies and the processes. Hence, I had…
