Private sector initiative benefits small hotel operators

The Department of Tourism together with Patio Pacific Resort management recently forged a partnership to benefit small hotel and resort operators.

In fulfillment of its corporate social commitment to contribute to the development of the tourism industry, Patio Pacific Resort shares its 16 years of management expertise by donating a "Front Office Management Software" for distribution to DoT’s accredited small accommodation establishments.

Tourism Secretary Joseph Durano lauded the gesture of this resort management software, citing the private sector initiative as vital to the further development of small-scale tourism business operations.

He said that this will advance frontline services and make their operations globally competitive.

Charles Uy, owner of the resort said that the beneficiaries of the software are DoT accredited accommodations establishment with a maximum of 15 rooms.

The software is capable of recording guests registration information, outlet sales transactions, room bookings, inventory reports and mailing lists. Data recorded will then be the basis for the generation of reports required in the efficient and proper management of an accommodation establishment.
