MCLEAN, VA (Jan. 19, 2005) � Who are the most extraordinary sales and
marketing minds in hospitality and travel today? To answer that question,
the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI)
polled senior executives throughout the marketplace to identify the �Hot
List for 2004.�
�For the second year, we are proud and pleased to honor those who stand out in the industry for their creativity, intelligence, and passion for their work,� states Robert A. Gilbert, CHME, CHA, president and CEO of HSMAI. �We see such clever campaigns and brilliant strategies all year long, and we get the opportunity to cast the spotlight on these individuals with our annual �Hot List� of the �25 Most Extraordinary Sales and Marketing Minds in Hospitality and Travel�,� says Gilbert. HSMAI asked top tier executives throughout the hospitality, travel and tourism industries to submit nominees who best exemplified the set criteria: Whose marketing strategies are truly innovative and clever? Whose campaigns are standouts? Whose companies represent a sales focused organization? Who gets results? Whose work do you wish was yours? Nominees submitted were reviewed and scored by HSMAI�s Executive Committee, resulting in this year�s second annual HSMAI Top 25 list. HSMAI�s 2004 �Hot List� of the 25 Most Extraordinary
