The current recession has had a knock on effect on most businesses around the world.
Hotels especially were hit hard when businesses started cancelling travel and conference plans at hotels nationwide, weddings were being postponed till the following year, and short breaks were few and far between as people opted for weekends in front of the TV.
“As the economy slipped, the industry followed suit,” said Bill Crow, Senior Vice President of Equity Research at Raymond James and Associates. “This was also exacerbated by the negative publicity towards companies holding meetings. With 60 to 70 percent of business constituting business travel, that’s really what moves the needle.”
The sudden lack of interest has seen many hotels forced into getting creative with marketing special deals and packages, which work in favour of the customer.
And Barton Grange Hotel has taken these creative marketing deals to another level.
