Entrepreneurs & Entrepreneurship is the talk of town, everybody is discussing about this. Government has started new courses on this; training centres have been developed to nurture natural talent of entrepreneurs. Government is seeing entrepreneurship the only solution of its increasing employment demand and that’s true. An entrepreneur is a true wealth creator, a magician who creates wonders out of nothing and that’s how countries are growing. Indian entrepreneurs also have done great things in past and seems committed to follow in the future.

Tourism is the field which has capability to transform entire society and bring foreign wealth through the easiest way.

Ana Chavarria, front office manager Case Study

There was Milo Diaz, personnel manager, who was always calling her to post her schedules on time and authorize payroll forms. Thomas Brown, executive housekeeper, seemed a great friend off the premises of the hotel, but at work, he continually badgered the front desk clerks on guest check-in and checkout problems. Yoon-Whan Li, executive engineer, also had communication issues with Ana, such as the time when a desk clerk called Yoon-Whan at home to indicate that an elevator was stuck on the fourth floor when it was only manually stopped by a group of children.
