6. Participate in forecasting and goal setting, contribute to the annual budget process, and develop sales and marketing plans.
7. Promote teamwork and quality service through daily communication and coordination with other departments, including all hotel departments. Review daily business levels, anticipate critical situations, and plan effective solutions with department heads.
8. Interact with outside contacts such as guests, airlines, wholesalers, corporate accounts, travel agencies, ad agencies, and community groups to ensure satisfaction and generate new business.
