The 1st Hospitality & Retail Seminar @ The Temple House 博舍酒店
Jan 22 @ 18:00 – 20:30

 

The British Chamber of Commerce is holding its 1st Tourism and Hospitality Conference to herald the development of this sector with insights to enhance the prospect of profitable opportunities.
Tourism and Hospitality
The hospitality sector has extraordinary value as it interlinks with so many other industries including retail, tourism and restaurants. Understanding the importance of good customer service is, therefore, essential for any healthy business by creating new customers, keeping loyal customers, and developing referrals for future customers. Every individual in a business is responsible for excellent service, because by responding to customers’ requests quickly and efficiently, the chances are that they will stay and buy more. Client retention is more effective then constantly seeking business.
Keynote Speaker
