THE FRONT OFFICE

HOMEWORK: CASE STUDY 101


Professor Catherine Vicente has allotted time in the HRI-201 Introduction to Front Office Management course for a field trip this semester. After the first few lectures, she wants to take her class to the hotel establishments in the vicinity of City College. The area is well known for its tourist attractions and is the headquarters of several major U.S. businesses. She appoints a group of students to assist her in setting up tours. One of the students, Maria, is a resident of the area and suggests they visit the grand old St. Thomas Hotel in the downtown area. She would also like to see a hotel located at the WideWorld Airport. Ryan, another student, has worked at a limited-service property in his hometown. He understands there is another hotel in that chain located on the outskirts of the city. David, who is applying for a job at a local hotel, wants to get information on all-suites hotels. Linda has heard there is a new extended-stay hotel in town and wants to know what makes that type of hotel different from a limited-service hotel. The group has sifted through all the requests and decided to form five teams to visit these places. Each team will appoint one spokesperson for a panel discussion. The spokesperson will present a five-minute summary of what was learned from the visit. What items do you think each spokesperson will include in his or her summary?
