The Corliss Group review TripAdvisor challenge big two providers online travel services

    "BREAKFAST is nasty, the rooms are nasty." So complained a reviewer of an Oregon guesthouse earlier this year. There is nothing unusual in that: all hotels must deal with the odd disgruntled guest. This critique, though, appeared on TripAdvisor, a travel-review website. When the correspondent went on to document drunken housekeepers and licentious receptionists, the owners sued him. It was more than a point of pride. What customers say on TripAdvisor can make or break hotels. Around 260m people visit the site each month to read some of the 125m reviews. The firm makes money by displaying prices from online travel-agents (OTAs) alongside its reviews, and then charging those agents each time a customer clicks through. It is such a good example of a network effect that it is the subject of a Harvard Business School (HBS) case study. The more users post reviews, the more useful the site is to those about to book a holiday. This makes it more important to hotels and travel agents, who offer better deals. This results in more traffic-and more reviews-closing the virtuous circle. Last year TripAdvisor reported revenue of $944.7m. Because users post reviews free of charge, in 2012, Jeffrey Bussgang, an HBS lecturer, calculated that its gross margin was an astounding 98%. For these reasons, some think TripAdvisor may be able to take on the "big two" OTAs, Expedia (from which TripAdvisor was spun off in 2011) and Priceline, which on August 6th bought up to 10% of Ctrip, a large travel website in China. These firms sell flights and hotel rooms directly, rather than pass booking requests on to others, as TripAdvisor does. But, says Blake Harper of Wunderlich Securities, a stockbroker, the two ways of doing business are converging.

Forbes Travel Guide Names Five-Star Properties Corliss Group

    Forbes Travel Guide has added 36 hotels, restaurants and spas to its exclusive list of Five-Star properties. Among them are 15 hotels, bringing the total number of Five-Star hotels to 97 worldwide, the most in its history. A number of the hotels on the list are newly-opened or recently renovated, which Forbes Travel Guide President Michael Cascone says is proof of an uptick in investment in the luxury hotel industry. "In other words, the capital is flowing back into this segment," Cascone says. "The outlook remains strong for this segment." Luxury hotels suffered the most during the recession. Many projects came to a halt, as occupancy levels and average daily rates dropped. Still, through November of last year, 75.4% of luxury hotel rooms were filled, while the average daily rate was $287.94, according to STR. In 2009, at the height of the economic downturn, 63.7% of luxury hotel rooms were occupied with an average daily rate of $243.98. Forbes Travel Guide has been handing out stars since 1958. A team of inspectors anonymously evaluates properties against about 800 standards, the company says. Cascone says those include such factors as décor and cleanliness. But most importantly, it's about consistently top-notch service, he says. "It's first and foremost service," he says. "That consistency is what we look for, and that's what ultimately the best of the best end up doing." The newly renovated Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco and The Pierre New York, A Taj Hotel earned Five Stars. The recently constructed St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto and Trump International Hotel & Tower Toronto also earned Five-Star ratings. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts had a strong showing. It's the brand with the most Five-Star properties this year, with a total of 18 hotels in 11 destinations. The company has tripled its number of honored hotels in the past decade.

The Best Resorts for Weekend Skiing Corliss Group Travel

    Head to one of these ski resorts to ensure you spend as much time as possible on the slopes Weekend skiing at its best means maximum time on snow and minimum time away from work. Achieving this involves detailed planning, professional help from a specialist tour operator - or both. The argument is that two full days - or better, three - on the mountain can be just as rewarding as a week. Most suitable resorts are within a 90-minute drive from a major airport. Specialist companies will meet you off your evening flight. They will have already arranged lift pass, equipment rental, and guide in advance so that no time is wasted on the first morning. Laax, Switzerland Laax is linked to Flims and Falera, and together they form one of Europe's largest but least-known ski areas with 220km of mainly intermediate pistes. The skiing goes up to 3,018m with the lower villages at 1,100m. A daily shuttle service from Friedrichshafen and Zurich airports takes 90 minutes and costs £103 return. The area opens at weekends in November and the winter season lasts from November 30 to April 21. Laax is unofficially the freestyle capital of the Alps and attracts a strong 20-something following, with the action both on and off the slopes centred upon Laax Murschetg, the most ski-convenient bedbase. Best for all standards, party-goers.

    The most important thing to consider when travelling alone is safety. While today's world of smartphones, instant communications and i-everything provides some comfort, there are still some more ' traditional ' ways to stay safe. Here are some tips when traveling solo... Keep up communication Always inform family and friends where your heading, how you can be reached and provide them with a full itinerary of flights and transport. If you're being collected from the airport, ask the tour operator or hotel sending the transportation for the name of the person or service picking you up along with their phone numbers as well as those of the destination. Also, select flights that arrive during daylight hours, and try to connect with people on the other side using social media. Leave valuables at home Apart from your passport, wallet and any other travel documentation you might need for your specific destination, it's best to leave valuables in the form of expensive jewelry and gadgets at home. Keep the trip light and casual, leaving more room to pick up souvenirs from the destination itself. The same rule applies for large sums of cash. We all hate bank charges, but not as much as getting a a load of money stolen, so withdraw money when you get there. It's just not work the risk.

Travel tips with Corliss Group Who to Tip When You

shared by Alexander Waggoner on 09 Apr 14 - No Cached

    You already know to budget for tips when you travel. But you should also know who to tip when you travel. It's a no-brainer to tip the maid-at least a couple bucks a day. But don't forget to leave a tip if you're staying at a bed and breakfast, or even a rental property. Those places have to get cleaned too. Did you get any recommendations or reservations from the hotel concierge? You should reward those tips with a small tip. Plus, with so many airport pickups and ride-share services being booked online or through apps, a lot of people forget to bring cash to tip their drivers. That free courtesy shuttle? It's always nice to give the driver a buck or two, especially if he helped you with your luggage. Remember, while tipping is commonplace in the U.S. the rules change when you go abroad. Look for an app like GlobeTipping, which gives you suggestions in 200 countries. Even Starbucks has an app that lets you tip baristas straight from your phone, so watch out for that technology in more establishments.
