-
F
Correct Answer
A. TExplanation
Drawing new guests to a hotel is typically harder than retaining current customers because attracting new customers requires marketing efforts, advertising, and promotions to create awareness and interest in the hotel. On the other hand, retaining current customers involves providing excellent service, maintaining customer satisfaction, and building customer loyalty. It is generally more challenging to convince someone to try a new hotel and establish trust compared to keeping existing customers who are already familiar with the hotel's quality and offerings.Rate this question:

This level of customer service can build trust and loyalty, as the guest sees that their concerns are taken seriously and that the establishment is committed to providing a positive experience.Rate this question:

James is planning how to train his employees so that they know more about the property. All of the following activities could help him achieve that objective, EXCEPT:
-
Providing employees with free tickets to area events.
-
Allowing servers to sample menu items.
-
Having front desk agents spend a night at the hotel.
-
Giving all employees a tour of the property.
Correct Answer
A. Providing employees with free tickets to area events.Explanation
Providing employees with free tickets to area events may not directly contribute to their knowledge about the property. While this activity could be beneficial for team building or employee morale, it does not specifically focus on increasing their understanding of the property. On the other hand, allowing servers to sample menu items, having front desk agents spend a night at the hotel, and giving all employees a tour of the property are all activities that can enhance their knowledge and familiarity with the property.Rate this question:
