In order to stay competitive in an industry as tough as hospitality, it is now as important as ever for hotels to accomplish an important goal: improve guest experience by making customers feel valued. The key to this is creating a personalized experience for each individual. One way to go about this is to learn more about customers by offering coupons, discounts, and other promotional material based on preference. Geofencing and proximity marketing are designed to encourage repeat visits and customer loyalty. What we are trying to reach is the situation of "The customer is happy because he or she received a personal invitation to the bar with a free drink coupon." and "The hotel bar manager is happy because he or she potentially received an interested patron who will most likely spend more money."

Are there any policies and procedures organizers should be aware of in the event of an emergency?
