Of special interest to small hotel operators is the Caribbean Small Hotels Retreat organized by the Caribbean Hotel Association in Bridgetown, Barbados for this coming 26-28 September. The workshop will promote valuable interaction between small hotel owners and operators in the region. The two-day meeting, sponsored by the Barbados Tourism Authority and Caribbean Airways, has a different approach from traditional hospitality conferences by emphasizing small group discussions of eight to ten people, which will focus on practical considerations and insight based on experience of the day-to-day operating issues particular to inn keeping.<\/p>\n
Discussion topics include: public relations strategies; budget redecorating; niche marketing for small hotels; hidden potential revenue streams; the advantages of ‘green’ practices specific to small hotel operations; management issues; food and beverage considerations; insurance; and the all important technology trends, among others. In addition, each day will culminate with a series of ‘bull sessions’ – open forums where the discussion is driven exclusively by the issues tabled impromptu by delegates.<\/p>\n
