KL Convex Clinched 17 more conferences...
Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (the Centre), strategically located in the heart of the capital city, has clinched 17 more conferences for the city in the first four months of 2009. The five international conferences between 2009 and 2014 are expected to attract 5,700 delegates and the seven regional conferences, 3,000 delegates between this year (2009) and 2011. The five national conferences, all in 2009, will see participation from 2,250 delegates. Mr Peter Brokenshire, General Manager of Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre said, "The successful bids are a reflection of international and regional associations and meeting planners' confidence in Malaysia as an attractive destination for business tourism, the country's strong track record and more importantly, they are testimony to Malaysia's excellent value for money proposition. The World Economic Forum ranked Malaysia as the 4th most price competitive country in the world for travel and tourism in 2009, offering excellent price competitiveness with its low comparative hotel and fuel prices, low ticket taxes and airport charges plus a favourable tax regime. Kuala Lumpur was also rated the most price competitive city by Swiss banking giant, UBS in 2008 and the country scored for having the cheapest Big Mac among 34 countries surveyed according to the latest Big Mac index published by The Economist in February 2009.

So You Want To Be A Hotelier
We often read about the stars and celebrities who live in Beverly Hills just under that “Hollywood” sign. Without actually admitting it there are many of you reading this who believes they live “the Perfect Life” filled with all the glamour, glitz, bright lights and happy endings! So too do many consider the hospitality industry as the most glamorous and fashionable industry to work in! A true statement to make I feel for many reasons but hand in hand with those bright lights of a hospitality career goes one key ingredient for success… Hard Work!
Undoubtedly a fun and adventurous industry which is often compared to the Theatre… After all it is all about putting on the show! Backstage activities I am sure are similar to many of the Back of House antics that occur unknown to our guest who is enjoying the perfect stay! Actors, actresses, managers and line staff alike have all received similar training on delivering that memorable and flawless experience with a smile!
One thing is for sure. There are many stars in the hospitality industry! It takes a special type of talented individual to withstand the many exciting and challenging situations and roles that arise during their stage debut!
The video shown below was made by hoteliers, for hoteliers simply because of the love they have for hotels! This is presented for purposes of humour as is a theatrical performance on Broadway! All that you see before you has been scripted and none of these incidences are true life experiences. I am sure however that you can recollect some similar close encounters during your own auditions! We know you will enjoy!
