Market brief update for Thursday, January 30, 2014

     Hilton and Maritz Travel are working on a Meetings mean Business Coalition in an attempt to prove  their benefit to a distaste as times in their potential market population for business travel.  This distaste is understable when the cost of the business travel exceeds the client/s hoped for return on investment for their business venture’s travels.  The question becomes when is business travel a true profit in dollars to the business traveler?  Hilton and Maritz are resting their project on three pillars,  “the group will organize its effort around three pillars: creating personal connections, driving positive business outcomes and building strong communities”, with this they sound like they have a good approach for entering into dialogue with possible clients.  Have a good rest of the week all.
