With its sunny weather, world-famous amusement parks, vibrant business venues and stunning coastline, it’s no surprise that Orange County has for decades been a popular venue for business travelers and vacationers of every sort. So, hosting travel-industry-
related events in O.C. makes perfect sense.
One such gathering, Revenue Management for 2010, organized by the Orange County chapter of Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI), will feature a panel of industry experts who will discuss strategies to maximize brand awareness and revenue for companies in this business sector. The event will take place tomorrow from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Fairmont Newport Beach.
Topics to be discussed will include: the use of social media to create brand awareness, the effectiveness – or lack of – discounting hotel rates, the future role of online travel agents and the impact of online promotions, among others.
The event’s discussion panel of industry specialists will include:
• Greg Weiss, vice president of revenue management at Joie de Vivre Hotels
• Lisa Kroll, regional director of hotel services at Orbitz Worldwide
• Jason Thielbahr, vice president of revenue management at Red Lion Hotels
