Trendy
Fixes to Keep Your Resort Décor Current (by Georgi Bohrod
Gordon, RRP)
When you’re operating a
resort that caters to all sorts of folks, Interior Design is a major challenge.
So, when you are a company like Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) what do
you do? You send your design team into the field to keep abreast of the
latest and greatest trends.
We spoke with GCI’s designer,
Soraya Shah-Mirany, who went on the hunt for inspiration at the 2016 International
Furniture Show in High Point, North Carolina for six days. Her fitness

scoped out new lines for Global Discovery Vacations’ members and Global
Connections’ resorts. (more)

can receive glowing comment cards and provide top-notch accommodations
when employees are motivated and well-trained.
But how can you know if the
job candidate sitting across the desk from is the one who’ll lead your
team to the mountaintop? Resort Trades checked in with three industry experts
to see how they identify management talent and what it looks like in action.
Here are some key things to look for. (more)
