In order to achieve the priorities of our mission statement,
HOTELPRO divides structurally its management efforts into five major areas:
- Human Resources
- Operations
- Development
- Product Management
- Finance
HUMAN RESOURCES
Associates are indeed our most important assets. We make certain that our hotels are staffed with
the best personnel available. We provide direction to our hotel managers in the areas of compensation,
benefits, training and development to help them create for our associates a positive working
environment in which they can grow personally and professionally. The result is minimum turnover
of employees. Our associates stay with the HOTELPRO Family and develop a keen sense of loyalty
and dedication to the company. In an industry where changes are constant, the tenure of many
of our hotel associates is remarkable.
OPERATIONS
HOTELPRO provides key support and direction for every aspect of hotel management. Its three main
areas of focus are sales and marketing, food and beverage and house keeping. Sales and marketing
efforts include ensuring precise marketing positioning, and implementation of our marketing tools,
such as direct marketing to corporate customers, participation in the GDS sales, targeted Internet
advertising, online reservation facility via our web site and contracting with the most productive
international tour operators. In the area of food and beverages we concentrate on offering excellent,
healthy and delicious breakfasts to our customers featuring fresh items featuring many out
of season fruits, etc. Our restaurants are managed by specialized, high quality staff ensuring
not only interesting menus but attentive and warm and helpful service to all guests. We are obsessed
with cleanliness of the guest rooms, of course, but as well all common hotel premises.
Our house-keeping personnel are trained to put a maximum amount of attention to the smallest
of details. Daily checking by hotel management ensures that this is always the norm.
DEVELOPMENT
HOTELPRO has a proven track record of identifying economically viable hotel opportunities that
are profitable to both investors and the company.
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
Implementation of our maintenance, energy telecommunications and safety programs ensure we make
the most of our available resources, decrease expenditures, and increase profits.
FINANCE
Strong internal controls, a state of the art computerized reservation and processing system,
