Hospitality Marketing is a no-nonsense, practical book which has
been revised and adapted for a wider market, including European and
international examples. It shifts the major emphasis of hospitality
marketing onto building a business from the inside by word-of-mouth
rather than relying mostly on the endeavours of outside promotion.
Hospitality marketers are encouraged to build a customer base by
constantly improving the customer's experiences at the point of
sale. Hospitality Marketing aims to help you direct your decisions
concerning marketing strategies towards what happens to and for the
customers.

A pair of endearingly eccentric bachelors - in their fifties, and
fraternal twins - own and operate a bed & breakfast
establishment where people like them, the "gentle and bookish and
ever so slightly confused, " can feel at home. Hector and Virgil
think of their B&B as a refuge, a retreat, a haven, where folks
may bring their own books or peruse the brothers' own substantial
library. Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast supplements each
twin's distinctive and colorful description of life at their
B&B with entertaining extracts from their guest book, lists of
suggested reading materials (e.g., Books for When You Are Feeling
Low), and astoundingly bad verse penned by a local poet. The lively
cast includes Waffle the cat and the scripture-quoting parrot, Mrs.
Rochester, as well as the ever-present warm memory of Mother.
This richly illustrated book introduces readers to "the golden
one," as Rebula has been lovingly described. Rebula grapes, an
ancient varietal once prized by princes and popes, are indigenous
to the region that now straddles the border between Italy and
Slovenia. On the Italian side the area is called Collio, in
Slovenia Goriska Brda. It has been rated by experts as among the
top five wine terroirs on the planet, shoulder to shoulder with
Bordeaux and Tuscany. Wine experts agree, calling Rebula "a dream
wine of a new age." Rebula was rated the World's Best Wine in 2010
by sommelier Luca Gardini, and a Rebula has received an astounding
100 points on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale. Beautifully
designed with full-color photographs, the book recounts the
fascinating story of Rebula and the history of wine in what was
once Yugoslavia and is now Slovenia. The protagonist is a
remarkable vintner, Zvonimir Simcic, one of the founders of what
was Yugoslavia's most important winery before the country
fragmented. Almost single-handedly responsible for the preservation
of Rebula, he resurrected the forgotten varietal and transformed
his home region, spectacular Goriska Brda, from a poverty-stricken
area into one of the globe's great wine destinations. Pulitzer
finalist Noah Charney provides a personal, humorous, deeply engaged
travelogue through the little-known world of Slovenian wine that
will delight adventurous travelers and wine lovers everywhere.
