And the hotel offers several unique ways to pile on the points — earn them through hotel stays or with participating credit cards. And when the customers are feeling generous, they can transfer them tofamilyor friends who are also members. Based on the study by Wirtz et. al. (2007), such programme, if found to be attractive would have a positive impact on cash spending of guests, regardless of their attachment to the company. The implication of this, is of course, continuing to develop this programme so as to make it attractive, not only to members, but also to non-members as well. In aninterviewwith Berhanrd Brenner, General Manager of the hotel, by The Seoul Times (2005), the top man of Hiton said that having the status of being one of the best hotels in Seoul did not come easily.

According to him, the drivingphilosophyhere is to prioritize people first before profit. In that way, he believes that greater profit is due to having satisfied customers which return often. Client loyalty is assured by predicting all scenarios and designing innovative solutions to address issues. For instance, a certification programme was initiated on January 2005 for the hotel’s 32 managers to give reports regarding contamination offoodand problems of electrical facilities as well as provide training to give emergency medical care.

The hotel also has anAreno Night Clubwhich feature live performances from bands to entertain customers from all ages. The Korea National Tourism Organisation was also tapped in to operate the casino within hotel premises. Thus, incoming foreigners and residents would see enhancements in hotel services and features. The Seoul Times also report that the hotel management has good relation with the hotel union despite the fact that labor and management issues are rampant in Korea.

Disputes were avoided by providing care for all his employees. As a matter of fact, educationsubsidy at an Honor University is available for all employees. In monetary terms, this grant was equivalent to $1, 000 in 2005. The report also explains that the reason why Mr. Brender was able to symphatized with the employees is that he also passed through the ranks.
