Conrad Manila will have 347 guest rooms, with a high proportion of suites to anticipate and meet the expectations of the growing number of seasoned business and leisure travelers. The hotel will have also have two ballrooms, meeting rooms, lobby and executive lounges, restaurants, an infinity swimming pool, and complete gym and spa facilities. Aligned with Conrad’s art inspirations, the hotel will feature contemporary international and local artworks - with a strong presence of the works of Filipino artists.

Marriott Annapolis Waterfront guestroom overlooking Chesapeake Bay.
The Marriott Annapolis Waterfront Hotel in Annapolis, MD has selected Teledex E Series micro-footprint hotel phones for its 150 guest rooms. Located in downtown Annapolis on the Chesapeake Bay with views of the bay and Annapolis Harbor, the hotel selected Teledex E Series E100-4GSK single-line analog corded speakerphones that feature 4 programmable guest service keys and patented OneTouch voicemail retrieval.
According to Gary Burke, General Manager of the Marriott Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, “We liked the compact size of the Teledex E Series phones, since they save space on the nightstand and desk, and have a clean, modern pedestal design that complements the look of our flat screen television sets in the guest room.”
“OneTouch voicemail retrieval technology effectively eliminates calls to the front desk from guests who can’t access their voicemail messages, states John Grubb, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Cetis, Inc. “And because it is intuitive, and easy-to-use, OneTouch voicemail also encourages guests to utilize the guest service keys on the in-room telephones, which can generate increased telecom-related revenue for hotel properties,” he concludes.

Tourism Tidbits: Tourism Security Challenges.
by Dr. Peter Tarlow
Tourism is facing four challenges that are perhaps more threatening than at any time since September 11, 2001. What is interesting is that just as in the years prior to September 11, 2001 many tourism officials have simply chosen either to ignore threats or to dismiss them with a great deal of verbiage and little actions. Although Al Qaeda, as it was constituted some 14 years ago, is less of a threat, terrorism has evolved into new and perhaps more dangerous organizations. This month Tourism Tidbits presents some of the major threats facing the world of tourism and what the industry can do to protect itself.
Be aware of the lone wolf. Modern terrorism is often now an offshoot of what 14 years ago was called the single cell. Lone wolves are people who belong to no organization, are "radicalized" by information gained from a variety of sources and often are willing to give their lives for the "cause" even if they do not understand the cause for which they are dying. Although one lone wolf attack will most likely not hurt a tourism center, a number of these attacks in the same location will create the impression of a chronic problem.
The twenty-four hour media may breed hysteria. There is simply too much time spent on too little. Because the media compete with each other to be the first with a breaking story, mistakes are made, and small incidents are often blown out of proportion. The media often give the impression that a place is far less safe than it really is and this impression hurts tourism. Furthermore, due to new overload most threats and dangers are soon forgotten. Although from a marketing perspective we do not want to dwell on threats to tourism's wellbeing, it is dangerous when those who are forced to protect tourism have also forgotten what might have take place only a few years ago.

Guest Service Keys
What does Room Service actually contribute to a hotel’s bottom line? Information provided to Cetis by a major Los Angeles hotel reveals that Room Service orders totaled 54,400 in 2010 and over 65,000 in 2011. All were ordered on hotel guestroom phones, using single button pushes. Imagine, for example, that the average room service order totals $20. 65,000 calls at $20 equals $1.3 million dollars in room service orders. $1.3 million annually at just one hotel - all thanks to that convenient single button push on a hotel Cetis guestroom telephone!
