Hotel Managers Group Blog is
dedicated to the hotel owners by providing creative solutions on review of
operations, marketing, and accounting to determine if the hotel is in good
position with respect to competition and decide what strategies to implement in
order to increase market share. The best
thing about this blog is that it’s managed by a team of highly skilled and
experienced hotel professionals and on a timely basis, they post their advises and
strategies according to the most recent trends about hospitality to their
readers. They also teach their readers
how to use hotel new systems, how to attract more guests to book the hotel, how
to increase the hotel awareness, etc. I
like how they have at least one blog post each day for the readers. Meaning that they are active. I also like the design of the blog that its
very organized and easy to find where things are. However, I don’t like that its all plain text
with hardly any photos and no videos. In
addition, I don’t see any hyperlinks that link to more information.
Hospitality Trends is a blog
that provide online information on the trends of hospitality industry. Looking at the homepage, I found it’s a bit
too much that things are everywhere and there are lots of ads on the side. However, I do like how its categorized by
different categories for easy access.
The choice of color is too dull and boring and not catchy. The content of the blog postings are too
board that its targeting not just at the hotel industry though it names
hospitality trends. I don’t think I will look at this blog for trends on
hotels. Moreover, the posts don’t have
any pictures or hyperlinks to link to sources.
HotelBlogs.com is mainly
about hotel and tourism news around the world.
It is important to know what is current in both the hospitality and
tourism industry if you are in it; otherwise, you will be left in the
dust. Knowing who are your competitors
and how they operate and manage the properties so successfully is vital to all
hotels chains. By keeping up with the
trends, you know how you can do better. Also,
the way that different tourists plan their trips and vacations is always
changing rapidly and we, as hoteliers and travel planners, need to know what is
demanding right now in order to attract and bring in more guests into the
hotel. It’s all about marketing. Finding people’s behaviors, preferences, needs and wants and how we
can make their needs and wants come true.
Therefore, this hotel blogs is a great source to look for news and
current events.
Wow. You got a job offer from this blog. That is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI know you said that there were no hyperlinks in the first blog, do you think that hyperlinks are absolutely necessary in creating a good blog? This post was very well put together, and the use of pictures was nicely done.
After reviewing your three blogs, I noticed that all three were just white backgrounds with a minimal amount of color. I wonder if more color would benefit each of these blogs. As a reader of blogs, I did not feel that the blogs really caught my attention and that had there been more color the articles would have appealed to me more. What are your thoughts on color in blogs?
In terms of color in a blog, I think that plain text is fine because its easy to read. However, it should include some pictures to lighten up the page. Having a nice layout and design is important since its the first thing people see when they open up the page and it tells the readers your creativeness.
DeleteIn a blog, the design is really important but also the use of pictures and videos are important. Keeping up to date is also important.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think if a blog is not posting everyday, but rather every other day, do you think there will be a major problem with being active?
I think no one want to read a blog that is not active. A blog is a chronologically constantly updated with posts. If theres nothing new to read, no one will be coming back.
DeleteI really enjoyed the last blog you reviewed. It was a very well designed business blog. It branched out to many relevant websites and other blogs that I will definitely keep in mind next time I travel. I disagree with Kymber about the necessity of color in a blog. As long as the blog's pictures and links flow well, it will be enough to keep me reading. I like how your blog is easy to read with relevant pictures and it has a soft two toned background.

ReplyDeleteGood to know that there are so many hospitality blogs on the internet. It will be very helpful if a person is looking for some information in hospitality industry. The information in HotelBlogs.com may be very useful for my international business research project too! Hospitality industry could be international also, since the tourists could be coming from all over the world.
