News for the Hospitality Executive |
July 18, 2010 –
Independent operators have freedom to manage their properties with more
creative
marketing programs, packages, and guest service offerings.
They also have total responsibility for staff
training, operations, and their hotel’s systems.

training the
property’s staff,” said Warren Markwart president of MK2 Hospitality,
St.
Eugene Golf Resort’s technology consultant.
