Summer Reading in Paradise

Hotel Booking Summer holidays are traditionally the time to buy the latest airport blockbuster and settle down on the beach for a good escapist read. Not so for the guests at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, who seem to take their holiday reading seriously. A review of books left behind by guests at the luxury Indian Ocean resort shows that leaving the outside world behind is not easy, even when holidaying in paradise.

Cheap Hotel Jostling for space with the suntan lotion and swimwear in guests suitcases is some choice reading material; the resorts library of books left behind by guests abounds with intriguing titles such as English Poetry & Prose 15401674; The Beginners Guide to Quilt Making and a hardback copy of Folkdress of Europe, which may have been brought by the same person who also packed A History of the Kings & Queens of England. A more practical turn of mind is represented by the Readers Digest Practical Problem Solver, a heavy tome that covers every eventuality and how to deal with it. However, the most remarkable summer reading in the library according to the hotel team is a book called Insurance in Literature published by none other than the insurance company Swiss Re.

The research study also demonstrates that travel agents are increasing their reliance on GDS systems for hotel information. Nearly 90% of travel agents say that they use their GDS and GDS shopping displays as much or more today than two years ago. Travel agents also report increased use of hotel property Web sites compared to two years ago. Travel agents are less likely now to use printed hotel directories, direct mail, fax, and the phone to gather information about hotels.
