ABSTRACT
Some time ago, events were held only in hotels. In those days it was unthinkable to search for unusual venues because hotels have everything one needs for an event–banquet rooms, ballrooms, dance floors, furniture, technical facilities, bars, kitchens and catering, waiters and bar staff. Hotels of good repute also have quality management who are experienced and trained. Hotel management courses predate events management courses by a long way, so most good hotels have qualified management, too. Hotels of good repute do provide the comfort and certainty of consistent standards and quality, and experienced and qualified staff and management. They will most certainly be practised in client handling and events management as well. Diversification has even taken place within hotels and they now provide cafes, bistros, brasseries, fine dining restaurants, lounges, meeting places, conferences, banquets, weddings, awards ceremonies and other events.
