Matlab Plp R2007b Plp

And why not?




continues criminalizing the occupied territories for their performances in the operations that for years they have conducted in various places where its presence was ubiquitous.

recently attended ratings by expert analysis from the occupied territories and new technologies, how times have changed, fashions, tools, processes, etc. Some people are determined to prove because the model has ceased to function better or worse arguing with success.

could share some of these experts the reasons for the low current form of the occupied territories, warning that the situation was due mainly to the democratization information that is plural, free and easy access, no objection is one of the conditions to justify that the client can know that the package is made (known as an Opaque) where the occupied territories believe to facilitate the customer's purchase (they are interpretations).

TTOO is true that dominated the distribution chain, for unifying all processes taking risks, but gave the impression that oppressed the producer or facilitator of services, this is a constant dissatisfaction with the borrower.

TTOO was thought that was the only chain to generate profits using knowledge and information, has its share of truth, but often forget the risks, investment, and distribution cost, if we make a healthy exercise of audit, about the quality offered and perceived customer value, often note that the customer values \u200b\u200bthe package broadly beneficial to their interests, and highlights in his complaints of services one by one in their assessment, which are often unsatisfactory transport and accommodation.

With the advent of new technologies, all producers are created between the obligation and the need to access directly to end customers, possibly with the mindset of zero cost (usually with OPT), experience shows that this does not is possible for more Internet can have free.

new professions and consultants appear to help penetrate into an unknown world that has broken quickly, without time for learning without the necessary experience to compare beyond the daily failures and assessments of the cost of this recent activity.

costs are triggered by SEO, SEM as well as having to hire experts in Revenue and control office outsourcing services, all this occurs without previous reviews, caused by the disappearance of some and the needs of others.

There is a possibility I do not know if some have already tried, but it is a formula that should make us reflect, un lado la necesidad de llenar establecimientos y la otra estar cerca de los mercados, pues bien, las habitaciones siguen disponibles y los mercados siguen esperando ofertas, mientras el TTOO busca su encaje en la sociedad, pero sigue manteniendo su notoriedad en el mercado.
Deberíamos ver como los productores de los destinos, son capaces de unirse en una estrategia común y plantear al TTOO una nueva modalidad en la interacción.

Deberían asumir el coste de la promoción y la distribución, aprovechando el conocimiento y la cercanía del TTOO en el mercado, ellos deberían aplicar políticas de Push ya que la del Pull (aplicada con anterioridad) esta en quiebra.

Cuando se haga esto, veremos and away the gap between what was and what was meant to be on today, this gap has opened up the scan will go as closing some and others understand that they are no longer enemies, pooling efforts and costs, reached a different relationship to which they were accustomed and see how they translate into business, if not disappear from the customer orientation strategy with high quality services.

Probably this strategy became part of the new relations between traditional tourism distributors have seen for a while the arrival of traders with little or no activity sensitized with the low value it brings to be knowledgeable technological tools, but far from knowledgeable experts in the provision of tourist services, we are facing a big test, between past experience and assessments of this, when these two parameters are comparable, we will be able to make assessments of quantum process which is more beneficial for the customer, the producer and intermediaries.

Before this was a dialogue of two (Tour Operators and producer) the client paid the party, now the client in addition to paying the party wants to be there, be each other learn to share the evenings, music begins.

Diabetes Symptoms In Two-year-olds

Between reality, expectations and scripts to develop soccer

I preferred titling this post with this statement and that is what reflects the thinking among proven dose of reality and high expectations in the evaluation phase.
is based on no scientific attention what is happening between the tourism sector and the sector that include the creators of technology tools and disseminators of the same applied to the sector.
For the next sector is experiencing a transitional stage between the established and what they tell us that it is fashionable or not currently go into assessing the hierarchical composition by sector should not divert attention to individual companies, but as usually act before the advent of technology in the tourism sector. Clearly
that the crisis has helped the tourism industry to be vigilant to the messages, which in turn has facilitated the penetration of forecasters, analysts and developers to place their products in this market.
The production sector (mainly hotels) are happy for the technology tools you come to the end customer, have made them believe they can remove a section of intermediation.
must be noted that it was very common in this sector, which distributed through local tour operators or agents, (a difference these new intermediaries had never charged a commission for sales), the expectation that eliminating the final margin would increase intermediation makes the interest in these technologies will increase exponentially (if so found by the new intermediaries, must sign a goal in its favor) so far are not met as well as away from their goal, but we shall see why.
They were led to believe that in addition to facilitating the approach to the final customer, the cost is zero or very low cost, other errors, some to this day have not yet quantified, what is the cost of doing business online, the day they know for sure bring the model to be questioned or immediate review.
During this period, constantly evolving, and assessments are taking place between online and traditional and cannibalism which is generated by the survival of both models, with online commissions (unprecedented in the traditional) amount to scales ranging from 10% to 30% of customer sales.
If the search engine's own (the cost is high, and cost driver needed to penetrate the market), possible use of external services such as membership plus the cost of outsourcing for SEO and SEM as well as its own staff to control, we are already talking about cost and the party to be of benefit amount, one of the curiosities is that many agree that the end user remains the same, except that it has changed the channel to make the purchase, great benefited the client (not that this was target), often find the same product at the best price differential charge the borrower, the money lost by the way is in the hands of new intermediaries (and not known).
is clear that the withdrawal TTOO this thinking in their rooms and stay in the industry knows it has lost the supremacy but even still alive, but do not feel comfortable sharing a space that was exclusive, on the other highly competitive, more even if the competitor is not other occupied territories.
If we look at is space now occupied by major online operators, many of them from the tourism sector, have simply seen an opportunity to implement tools in this sector, market thanks him for being the beneficiary, have done with the information (free) and distributed to consumers, tour operators in addition to the contracted beds had the information, but only sold "packed beds" the opacity of the benefit information was . Speaking with several leaders
establishments already operating online, recognize that the sales volume of its own (sold mostly through third parties) is still low and the costs increase, plus all converge to make room in the network is difficult and costly but are in a tricky point to make decisions when asked "Do's" still a feeling that goes between repentance and the result, alleging that the moment that makes money is the intermediary and it does not add value or service, an action that leads them to repentance has been entered in the technology space (for lack of training, ignorance and have been persuaded ) have already closed some doors to past relationships that over time leads them to think they could be managed differently operators, I am convinced that the time will do justice and recognize the importance that has ever recognized the work of Operators so reviled in many critical stages, seeing them as a necessary evil, it was impossible to compare different models .. now they can compare. We
a while talking and the client only appears to say that is the beneficiary of this practice, input is not bad, is very good for the customer.
But is that the producers were told at the time that customers are in the network and could talk to them, indeed, should do so, many I recognize that once immersed in social networks, they find their customers anywhere, some have found some good reviews out there doing and not just congratulate Christmas (added fear going great for technology vendors), if we also consider that this stage in which we live is based on " fear " (Terrorism, finance, fraud, bubbles, politics, etc..) Pilar Jericho know much about it, I recommend it. At the moment the production should follow with the question "do."
The other (technological, consultants, forecasters, gurus, etc.) Are just the time span between the decision "to do" and the new tools coming out every day with the "start ups" that also are in a hurry because they know that their news have a very short life cycle costs with high penetration and venture capital companies to "fly" behind the ears, that in the absence of separate projects have no choice but to meet this demand.
While all this happens, the client looks for the best daily convinced that in some corner of the net find the product or service that meets their expectations, not caring too much if it directly facilitates the producer or an intermediary, clik anywhere.
If this were a football game at the moment the result is Operators Intermediate 2 - Borrowers 0 (the only ones assured of salary are the referees, Technology, (referee) on the sidelines (a facilitator and a consultant) of Fourth Official (comunity operator or manager), they charge per game, customers in the stands enjoying the show, the solution perhaps this in football.

Ralph Morley Painting



I approached these notes I'm writing down depending on what I read lurking around (the network) are accumulating me of laziness, why store them when I remember and I propose, is installed discouragement in my mind, with a fixed idea, give the Delete
Lets get started
is bent on making me believe that the network will have conversations, I sense, however, only one-way messages such as,
Comments soothsayers Solutions for everyone and Sellers nothing.
I have the impression that social networks live in the attic and I on the floor, the elevator is the internet that allows me to gain time to time, while life goes on the street.
So oddly enough I reflect and find the answer in a statement that "the networks of people up." (I did not dare to question if they could all live in the attic)
Many promotion of new technological tools against a lot of ignorance of the outcome of their application, most die before you deploy or test them. Theories of innovative developments
faced with contrasting processes that yield, but they are old (depending on who tells it.)
When writing the next appointment, I started laughing just imagining it, I hope you are able to project it.
similar development between the citizen (Commercial or commuter) entering the village pub and the emergence of a neophyte in a network need to increase their sales (bone, all). I imagine him sweating
going with a bang, climbing up the table and shouting, that works the best sandals in the country at the best price, and are already taking time to make a reservation.
Of the latter, go automatically to wonder ... ...
you imagine a movie starring Paco Martínez Soria on social networks? Groups
talk about theories that claim to understand but blind faith, we have a new religion?
can be passed to understand mechanisms of social networks in the pure skepticism?
they say that it is important online reputation? And the other? Perhaps
companies have discovered what corporate social responsibility through social networks?
anyone really think that the general directorates of large corporations will shelve their management processes overnight?
I have seen people attend seminars on social networks and it is as if they saw the light, I wonder where they have been engaged all these years?
We have millions of friends on Facebook yet we still greet the neighbor in the elevator.
say have millions of friends in social networks with whom we share almost everything, but we fear we meet a passerby on the sidewalk.
Many seek to sell products or services we think you need them. In the pre
social networks, salespeople were interested in my tastes and preferences, since the networks will make it easy to approach, his obsession is to know the benefits of your products or services.
We filled the mouth with the word client, we find it hard to locate, but when we do, we abandon it in search of a new, well no thank you.
talked about emerging markets that seem so blithely economically mature markets.
The day the labor ministry to quantify the number of people who spend the day twittering, Facebok, etc. etc., unemployment in the country affecting more than 8 million people, four of pay with public money, the other four as well.
After reading these statements, the most technologically ignorant call me without knowing me and I exclude those who know me know that I am, but I accepted.
I encourage anyone who can read it dares you to develop some point you feel motivated or identified with it, all opinions are welcome including silences.

Changes in the light





In Catalonia the administration has provided matching the Bolkestein directive (Entered into force last December 28) for this fall, so anyone may act as agent and they lose marketing exclusivity for the travel, tickets, etc..
As significant data are increased barriers to entry to the obligation to deposit a guarantee or bail of 120,000 €, today for retail was 60,000 €. (Whether or private company).
addition to this measure is enacted by the government of the Generalitat, the new classification of tourist offices, with full power to sell, distribute, and provide tourism services and products.
This picture, taken by surprise to many travel agents have placed all confidence in the associations, such as in its "constitution" states that are to defend the sector.
These facts undoubtedly change the map of tourism distribution in this country dramatically, incapacitates regulated, and regulates "deregulating at a stroke" that until now were known as intruders.
Analyzing the business structure, it is true that from which regulates the sector, it has remained immovable (in process of distribution) to adapt to market needs, is still doing the same for 40/50 years, besides the sector has seen in five years came new operators as well concentrations of large distributors (Falcon, Orizonia, etc.) emerge purchasing groups, and online agencies, new professions (SEO's, CRM's, Community Managers, etc.) Linked to the use of new technologies.
The current result is of great confusion in the marketplace, missing the supremacy of the information professionalized, this distrust, and offers no credibility and bidding wars and price have led to the breakdown and abandonment of traditional ways of belonging to "His travel agency life" once lost these values \u200b\u200b(trust, security, safety) that made the profession a social group is recognized and valued.
Many have not understood and least understood step of an industrial society, the technology, much less the transition state of the knowledge society.
On the one hand the legislators who are forced to implement policies that emanate from the European Parliament, on the other, the profound changes that the market has experienced a few years, it is not surprising that railed sector circles fatigue, helplessness, uncertainty and inability to meet these challenges
This fall will be difficult, beyond the crisis in which we are all immersed, of no use protests and complaints, decisions are already taken, although many still unaware of them.
comes a difficult time for many opportunities for others.
probably witnessing the imminent fall of the associations that have failed to lead or lead their partners in the right time.
purchasing groups are not meaningful because it does not provide any value in the distribution chain, it is clear that consumers are not willing to support a parasitic network. Possibly
a group if you get this post, triggered the anger towards me, nothing will change the vision that generates its occupation in the area of \u200b\u200bdistribution.
will have to remain vigilant in the coming days, months and be prepared to sector to welcome this administration no longer complies with the taxes, I must admit that I was always prepared to compete in the market, I never thought that would compete with the administration of my country. Currently
Greetings from Costa Brava

Watch One Program Tape Another

The only freedom that money gives you is the freedom to say no. That drive is formatted



This is the key tourism sector (and many others) the continued failure of this economic engine lubricant. Watching this interesting debate
http://comunidad.hosteltur.com/post/2010-09-13-post-abierto-a-jos-manuel-bermdez-consejero-de-turismo-de-tenerife, neuronal excitation has provided me enough to stand in front of the computer and mess up my charts "Politically correct."
I apologize in advance if this frenzy just by stepping on some streets.
companies interact in free markets, then let them flow interactions and if they are breached the codes of ethics, or business must report them (internally and externally).
The tourism sector is composed of "entrepreneurs" with views very endogenous targets, their collective lack of vision makes the decisions to be egocentric when it comes before the industry is talking in third person.
politicians at different levels of government away from enforcing the laws they enact and regulate, limit themselves to meet almost the sole sectoral demand is to invest "more" in promotion (whether the product meets the optimal conditions to be presented in catalogs).
Since attending business meetings or boards, (lately I'm away from property given the unease about my presence and character) the issue was always the same, some ask, (employers) the other point that no resources (government ) but always just passing a special shed to celebrate a centennial anniversary, or the year of artichoke (all my respects to this vegetable as a diuretic) holds the final claim in any long meeting (not the content, if not for the lack of order) agreed unanimously that "Gentlemen, you have to do things," well, the translation of "doing things" is "spending money on promotion," and all satisfied , the meeting is adjourned, the comments in the cafeterias (employers, as I told you they'd get the pasta) in the other cafe (luckily we have trimmed their expectations).
stage in my business (even force) have always been involved and participated in a position involved with the sector and to approve budgets in many institutions, both public sector dedicated primarily to promoting destinations (public), and defend the sector (the sector) have ever received results, nor I nor anyone else has requested them and if I ever did, although I am waiting.
The permanent question is: will at some point in future history public figure capable of dealing with employers and just say NO?
From the business should do an internal analysis, critical and severe, leading the opportunity to demonstrate and prove that we also have ability to redirect our mistakes in defending employers immovable and inoperative. Make
debate whether companies and governments need to continue this "game" and redistribute public resources (If we continue to believe that the administration has to keep paying the invoice promotional in this country) is no longer time to "do things", it's time to be demanding in the internal management of global projects perfectly prepared to target specific objectives perfectly measurable, then ask for explanations of accountability. There
industry worldwide that support the cost management promotional
Spain is "still" different
The worst of the method is that the administration did not even check or control the quality of the offer, which invest huge sums .
not within my imagination that a company the Marketing department no dialogue or verify the quality of production, while the general direction plays golf.
must be negotiated in expenditure budgets, promotional items directly to the market with the travel costs of representatives of government, we all know, but all accept octopus as a pet, to the extent that we can traps to us alone.
Notice that each paragraph lies behind the word but does not mention "money."
tone of the article probably breathe "anger" at all, is a simple and plain description of a perspective based on years of experience invariable in time and in the process, many involved it may seem even grotesque, the goal is the reflection (not to step tripe), each reader can see reflected in it, the hope is that the complementéis with your comments, which will be the richness of the debate, I'm just an instigator.
The day we learn the value of the statement of this short post, probably will be directing a new direction for our beloved industry.
Best wishes from the Costa Brava

Epididymitis How Long Does It Last

iron cold summer




We are in the planning period for the next season, which in the argot of travel agents is called receptive period recruitment.
Typically in recruitment interviews analyzes the season is coming to an end and negotiated prices for next season, quotas and improvements between the analysis of surveys of perceived quality control and supply, looking for ways to adjust the customer demand and the supply of hotel borrowers.
this year (once again) has shown that pension historic rates divided by seasons, are becoming obsolete, have suffered the "virus cost" to the maximum exponent, every week should rectify the prices offered, because the market expects the last minute offer, regardless of the destination or lodging, you have to review marketing plans and customer loyalty.
Coinciding with all my suppliers, the prices received for the 2011 season and after analyzing the seasons from 2006 to 2010 we observe the exponential decay of customers willing to "subsidize the balance sheets" operations that increase their prices what we call high season (July and August) as increasingly seeing the client rejects this offer and diverts their attention to the months of June and September, saving almost 50% of holiday price.
far is experience the process and decisions should be adapted to demand, as anything, prices for 2011 remain fixed habits of thirty years ago for a future market immediately.
The customer is not the same, or holiday periods are focused in two months, and buying habits are the same as taught by the tour operators, and the client is no longer willing to pay a high price when this can get almost half of adapting their holidays according to the rates.
not learn anything if we fail to understand that the market is the one who decides, and who ultimately decide on a destination that is able to suit your needs, my problem is to convince the supplier that this behavior will affected and who will work to adapt their offerings to the demands.
This is still plagued by "deaf" and "blind" to hear and see perfectly still bent on doing things his "way" out of what customers request and we will, as in Turkey, Croatia, Italy, even Greece have already gotten the message, when we see the outcome, will voices calling on the government sector more investment in promotion, yes prices will continue making up for the high season remains of life, although this does not match the customer.
Best wishes from the Costa Brava

Do I Need Reservations Bone Fish

Free Lessons L to sell redundant (thanks to Peter Drucker)




When a customer enters a travel agency, has fired all its sensory alarms and one thing is clear, "I will travel."
If you close a book, consider changing sector.
But be very careful with the "new" customers, and that is where the profession of psychology point by questioning the alleged customer, we must find out if the area or not, then understand why.
Is not never seen them here? How to find us?, Vera is that we are in a nearby town and walking we decided to go to gather information, well, they are in the place, what had in mind? We looked online to travel to Cancun ....
Any particular hotel? So is closing the exchange of questions and answers, which is now called "conversations with the customer" (as we do not have, you're going to walk out what they want).
least of it here and now is the destination and the hotel, the most important thing is to see how the "client" user give a damn about your professionalism and quality of care.
Ask if it was in the area, because when a client alleged moves to make your purchase usually has two reasons, the first privacy (keeping your neighbors know that goes so far) and the second, search any excuse to make your vacation will go free, but if you hire in your town, is "ugly" claim to the neighbor. Our obligation is to determine which of the two reasons we have moved into our agency.
In the former case, the matter went to fret because the girl (who came with them), while the popes were gathering information and had sent to their Facebook friends "Because I am going to Cancun," they came to their city all the neighbors knew that they travel ... .... Let
the second ...
online then you are already aware, the destination and the existing supply would be a bit concerned to realize their intentions (that is where the ordeal begins), the package of flight, transfers, hotel exits them .... xxxx € per person, followed by a replica infallible (on the internet out much cheaper), but exactly what you had looked . online, loose or offering services of any operator?, give me the name of a well-known intermediary often run promotions for free travel very far-fetched and pays the back etc. ....
I tell them, because if this much cheaper, you know you have to do, if, and but that I would like to see the reserve in an agency since the amount is high and if anything goes wrong we want to be sure that we seek assurances, then you do not want to buy a trip, want to sell them the security that protects them an agency license and the physical presence, told him that the Internet is a legally constituted agency that offers the same guarantees, answer me, and what where are these people?
Meanwhile, the gentleman told me, you look for short-haul flight with a low cost I do not mind paying via visa or who has established close or not, and if something goes wrong I'm willing to lose a lot, but this trip is the family trip and I will not take risks.
Sincerity in abundance .... We continue looking at options, prices, dates etc available. ...
After a while I said that you print all information, (What to a hypothetical sale, you must meet customer needs), I give leaves and while folding up the information, addressing his partner, they said, tonight we talked about it and if so, tomorrow we say that decision we have taken, well, thank you very much for everything you have been very friendly (to me, my face is an asshole) tomorrow will contact you.
This is the normal behavior of customers who come thinking that everything is free (my work of course) if I want fish I wet my ass, we have created the culture of the client must demand nothing in return for a side raises the level of demand claiming that products or services are free (something fault, right?), because this is the reality of the market. I know I
experts or gurus will give me the usual advice of recruitment, the added value that my services are homogeneous, or are not distinguishable, I have no brand, being weak marks seller broker that is what happens, I have to refocus my business, I need help to find the weaknesses of the activity, but must promote the use of new technologies, the solution is direct conversation with the client, but use of social networks .... most important thing is that now the business is in networks and they can help me, followed by an address web. Nothing
, call me the next day the gentleman in question and asked whether they had taken a decision, and told me everything he was surprised by my call, no one usually calls the next day because you see, I must be "weirdo" but I'm interested in you as a customer, a silly habit, I said if they had decided to make the trip and thanks to the call would go this afternoon to make the reservation and it was.
By now you may have noticed, where's the fun of the story, because in the quick call that most would not have made this small detail has been what has led to the sale, neither the product nor the destination or brochure, or my talk yesterday, not a store designed by a leading designer, or my insistence on social networks, only the details to make him understand the customer "it" for me is very important, and that friends has done since the discovery of business trade, which have not yet understood, better go looking for state aid, they are strong candidates for a job in the country's largest INEM.

Free Club Nintendo Coins No Generator

Interview



I leave a copy of the interview I did with my good friend John Sobejano to which I have a brother, a character that I found on the net, you know, and who have long shared sectoral concerns and friendship from a distance but close I leave the link to the original http://www.blogtrw.com/2010/07/entrevista-a-joan-gou-propietario-de-viatges-maritim-sa/


"Hi Joan, first of all introduce yourself to readers

01/05/1956 Joan Gou i camps receptive travel agent located on the Costa Brava, since 1985 with his own company, Viatges Maritim, sa I spent all my professional life the tourism sector, in two facets sector, hotels and travel agencies.

"You have an incoming travel agency in Lloret de Mar, Viatjes Maritim, how has the season?, Uncertain

would be a correct answer but ambiguous, I guess your claim is that I get wet.

Each company will have its merits, focusing on your question is probably true that close with a significant decline in total number of customers (soon to determine absolute numbers), although acceptable in the economic context, after adjusting the budget estimates without to make adjustments in the template.

- Have you noticed many changes at the time of booking by the customers? How much do you think is to blame for the crisis?

really in my processes have not been detected or habit changes and consumption, as my client is stable, loyal and repetitive (68%), it is clear that when we do not know the causes that determine certain behaviors of customers seeking the immediate environment, now we play to the crisis, not having been, the responsibility would have undoubtedly fallen in World Cup as in previous years without a crisis, the question is justified.

- How is this crisis affecting the sun and beach destinations?

The current crisis as we understand it (financial and real estate) from my point of view has no effect directly, the sun and beach destinations in crisis long endogenous high constant fluctuations that mask the results, that simple question may in itself generate much debate (Which otherwise has been brought to the network in more than one occasion) in which many converge in the diagnosis.

- Do you think that will change the sector in some way after the crisis? What?

crisis as understood by many temporary situation to return to the past does not change anything at all.

If we understand the current crisis and change in social production model and compared as was the evolution of the technological industrial system, it is clear that it will introduce changes that will have to adapt, as will be the first to sue the market.

response to what?, To know what you say, but I can tell you that not from my point of view.

not happen in the consumption habits of customers buying patterns to traditional technology, like many enacted in the facility is intended, by penetrating forcibly biased statements such as by way of example and that the desires of producers or borrowers match the user, the latter for now behave in seeking information and based on the value, determine where they get more guarantees on their purchase (Value for Money) Internet or face.

"You've been part of the evolution of web 2.0 in the tourism sector, how has seen the evolution? Say

walking around this me and invited me (and others you were one of them my gratitude for it) to board the train, I found few in the crowd, but good traveling companions and probably now be able to analyze What is my point of view in this regard.

constantly get on the train some unique characters, a kind of preaching (to call in some way) announcing the end of a model course for the benefit of the client (the client also believe me), they often end their cries with phrases like these "if you do not apply this knowledge, it's your last," most of them unknown sector tourism. Sector

acquiring knowledge in technology, based on two prophecies, "low cost or free initial investment" and "all customers are there waiting for your offer," neither are true.

The market is expecting bids mackerel starting with "free."

Although he also knows that "all costs" and that no work "free" beginning with themselves, thus between desire and reality imposed by the latter.

It is creating a new wave of "rogues" (on both sides of the process, evangelists and producers) very "Our" by the way, when the level of reliability on the market is balanced with reality, we will see how the level of market demand will rise the bar for reliability and security demands at the expense of price.

In all this hubbub, there will be new models certainly know for the moment, but something I'm really satisfied with, the current model touted not serve me, nor I, nor the customer, the fact that there are more models to choose from (current / traditional) does not mean that the market has accepted them as much as some endeavor to make it credible.

- What do you see the bubble in all this? Do you think you're overestimating social media?

not know whether to call it bubble, focusing on my experience, I'm still the same person, media profile or not, my relationships remain credible face socially speaking, what makes me the technology is to have access to people who never have known of its existence, my gratitude to these companies that have provided us, the rest is still in my hands.

for other productive sectors probably the novelty of social networking has opened a door of hope in the interactions with the market for the tourism sector has simply helped to broaden and strengthen this sector has always lived a caballo de las relaciones publicas y la conversación con los clientes, bendito sector privilegiado, aunque muchos aun no se han enterado.

-¿Cómo crees que evolucionará la utilización de los medios sociales en el sector? ¿Se comprometerán las empresas en su uso y lo integrarán en su gestión?

Como sector ampliamente hablando, habrá velocidades distintas de adaptación, muchos ya saben que para tener una imagen irrefutable en la red hay que haber hecho antes los deberes de calidad y prestación de servicios y eso equivale a invertir recursos económicos (el miedo a la crítica del cliente a sabiendas que será negativa, frena su presencia en las redes) ventaja competitiva for those who are calm and proud of their processes.

If the majority view is on this line, they have no choice but to adapt to this new reality, but as someone said (Alfonso Duran Pitch) can not pass Goat's Internet overnight.

"You're very involved, for obvious reasons, the promotion of destinations, what value you give the role of government and how you're doing?

administrations to me, are all suspended. (As an adjective benevolent).

have no strategy, no goals, are not able to control supply (neither public nor private) But invest in promoting it with all their efforts and resources (that is the only productive activity to which the state pays the promotion of private activity under the general budget).

When I refer to control supply, I mean in the verification held at the time of those licenses to open that once granted and forget about it the next day, therefore it is a promotion in the dark.

same effort in providing quality and the obsolete, there is no distinction, "Everything under the Sun"

obey the demands of pressure groups (hospitality industry) by the government (whether central or autonomic).

The only data published at the end of tourist season is the amount invested and number of visitors (always growing) in brief notes given by the minister on duty in the trade press.


- How interesting and valid point you see the strategy they are following some regions to be seen as direct competition with others? Do you think it is an appropriate strategy or consider to be a way to handle zero-sum scenario?

communities spend enormous sums in promoting what they call destinations, when in fact subsidize the promotion of private provision. Clearly

if a hotel competes with its neighbors, communities compete against each other, competition is very healthy as well as recommended, provided it is understood as a barometer to measure the quality perceived by users and tool for continuous improvement.

I think this second half and answered the previous question, and there is no strategy or objectives, in case anyone is upset about these statements, I have no objection to discussions and demonstrations, many colleagues agree with that sector administration follows a path parallel to ours, with a distinct difference, they just spend (not invest) in promoting, while the rest have to generate positive results and give explanations In this last paragraph I think I answered the last question on the subject.

- How do you think is managing the brand promotion of the destinations? Do you think we have too many brands and should be appropriate to group them or consider this strategy?

live in a country of countries, multiple destinations, we see it as rich or deficiency of order, I prefer to see it as wealth.

The second part of the question is moot in preference to the tastes of the reader, some think that if there are too many and others are content to watch the closest mentally ignoring the others.

As I am assuming there is no strategy, hardly I can think that such a mark is.

With no vision of destiny as a country, hard to accept that within it there are different destinations, the mayor considered the offer of the municipality only, the Adviser considers the offer of its unique community.
The Minister said that our country is a leader, and probably if your hand was the possibility of taxation, impose a single brand (theirs).

- What do you think has to change in the management of the promotion of destinations to make the most of?

From my point of view until a mayor (basic unit of output) does not assume the reality of their town as a destination (and not just clustering and landscape sources of income) and positioned in the place that belongs on its closest competitors, have no real vision of the situation of their town, just so you can devise strategies and set objectives which are to be shared and backed by fellow citizens (all) not only the tourism sector, and thus with the Regional Minister / Counsellor in your community, to present to the central government an integrated, credible, defensible, enforceable and measurable.

What I just described, which is understandable as well as simple, plain common sense, is still to be done, regardless of whether each store on the shelves of their offices more than a strategic plan, excellence, and market studies.

-Recommend a trip for this holiday

The best trip is one that is desired, and can share, regardless of destination.

"A good movie to watch

movie buff I am, many years ago I'm not going to the movies or watch movies on TV, I prefer books, debates, social networks, and especially coffee and conversation with friends, a question of priorities.

"A good book to read
My latest readings are:
" You know tot "Xavier Bosch
" The power of the mind " Eduardo Punset,
"No fear" Jericho
Pilar

"A good restaurant to eat

could Mentioning many, but it may annoy those not mentioned by oversight.

back where I like to treat me well, the quality is good and the right price.

in Lloret de Mar (my hometown) there are good restaurants that meet my desires.

Can I Get P90x Online For Free?

embarrassed


Sunday May 16 Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bare 18.30 and the stadium begins to fill.
salute the usual residents as they enter their localities, while we notice many new faces that are interspersed among us, many of them foreigners (tourists) who use their passage through the city to see one of the most impressive performances, see this building full of people with the same goal, a show in itself, beyond that within a few minutes take place in the playing field.
Yesterday was a very special day, finally the "cules" we could witness the end of the league and celebrate the triumph "at home" if they did the work, and how could it be otherwise, the team gave one more day size and the consequent joy to the fans.
The problem arose as the stadium was filled, people who rise to others who have occupied their villages, some up and look for holes to install and get the goal, remain at the site chosen, some not.
Right in the row ahead of mine, four Britons (two pairs) excited about the show, see their enthusiasm when they appear truncated owners in their localities, surprised they show their "tickets" and directs them to the owner responsible for 439 face to solve the problem, a few minutes back and see how they sit beside us on the stairs, to our disbelief because the stadium does not allow anyone to be installed on the stairs, but yesterday no nothing happened, no one said they could not sit in them, having to get up constantly for the passage of people coming and going.
After a while I said that sat next to me if I could show, tickets or tickets, to which very kindly agreed, carefully read the information printed on them, event date 16/05/2010, mouth 439, but not contained neither the row or seat number, just figured the price 84 euros, and who had issued the tickets, Expedia. I smell a scam
cheeky, as these sites are paid for the entire season and only being sold as new users buy these at the club in what is called "seient lliure" (seat released by the holder) also dealt with the club benefits.
had warned the press that were not available to the "seient lliure" very few localities, since everyone wanted to attend to celebrate the championship and could not succumbed to their local friends.
The truth is that the stairs all the mouths were full of people without a location, the question is as follows.
(Something suspicious is noticed in the environment, usually in the context of the state before starting the second part, show the number of people attending the stadium, yesterday did not happen.)
If you do not have a ticket describing your location, as it allows access to people?
If you pass this check, because the ushers Door not detect the huge mass of people accessing without definite locality?
only answer I can think of, someone from the access controls are in collusion with an outsider to make this happen.
know if the heads of the club are aware of this practice, in any case pass embarrassment yesterday to see how these British tourists they had been fooled and money.
Then ask the administration to invest heavily in promoting our destinations, while around a gang of fanatics are doing in August in May.
Spain, is still different, I said apologetically not slipped at all, they I suggested to submit complaint with the notes, as I believe that someone swindled them, they answered that they had bought online and did not know who demand accountability, it was 84 euros and also took it for good and the enjoyment of the parties but "somewhat uncomfortable" (such as the British) but perhaps the cost of discovering the truth was still more expensive than the amount paid, Thanks Any way I say, d'ont worry.
The question is, how many times there is this daily?, Talk a lot about networking, social responsibility, and the impact that this may result in the user comments, the fact that I describe here and denounce the facts, not at all prevent further production.
Let everyone draw their own conclusions.

Difference Between Salami And Pepperoni

anything, go week ... .. Vueling or Robing





In a mix of personal, work, family, friends, social networks every day made more relevant in the lives of people.
Those who live and work in the tourism sector to be in networks, forums, debates and meetings, is nothing new, our environment has always been to be mingling with people, friends, clients, family etc..
Before you had to move, now have on screen.
We enjoy a special meaning to connect, share, distribute, and create empathy it's all free (some charge for it, or at least pretend, often little in the sector). Monday
day procedures, analysis, reflection, calls, responses, total NOTHING.
Tuesday I attended the launch of a bid for the presidency of FC Barcelona, \u200b\u200bshared the event about 90 people in the area where I live, during the cocktail could converse with the candidate, a man of very close deal, shy, capable brave, but scared, lacks a spark of courage and park some fears, but this I guess it will improve with the passage of time and wise counsel of his advisers.
Summary of the day, NOTHING
Wednesday, should be the big day, according Mouriño the day of the illusion for Inter Milan and obsession for fans "Barça", attended the meeting at the Camp Nou with the usual group we move to the stadium, the rehearsal dinner Restaurant usual high-pitched talk about that we all possess knowledge about football, usual seat, neighbors usual, different game, two goals separated us from qualifying for the final in Madrid, at this time we know the outcome of the game, and probably more than one and is in a position like me to accept the reasoning as valid prior Mouriño.
Could not be, we have the league, have a past glorious, we must continue to support the team, are leading to the league championship, phrases and topics that help them cope with the hours for Thursday to face a horde of characters who only appear to remind you that everything comes to an end and that probably Barca had reached this stage, with a tip of some signs of bad taste that some uneducated fanatics released for free.
absolutely nothing and the mood on the floor
Thursday afternoon had confirmed my attendance at a marketing event in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bafter dinner (with all that that entails), get in the car, get to the center of celebration and You always find like-minded people, known and some treated in social media but even by "devirtualize" very fashionable buzzword in technological environments.
Once in the room, after greeting some people, I swear to myself not to attend more events, without having first read it three times the program and speakers, when sitting, having cleaned up the mailbox mail and read the Tweets with an answer, I got up, politely said goodbye to two people, and I left the room, I felt bad not to hear the presentation by Gaby Castellanos, a "media beast" of social networks and great communicator, but she's still in the distance (every day) and have my personal appreciation and estimated apologize hope my absence.
And all that because I'm saying? , Noon today at lunch, my companion asked me, that was your day, week, you've done, and I said, NOTHING. Nor
lied, profitable products, this week I have not done anything, all it did cost me money.
Sometimes I envy my friends (I still do not understand) the business goes to the right speed as to keep us all in the company, without having to provide low, but sales did not take the pace which we are accustomed, if I admit that sometimes my speech convey irony and a fabricated image that does not necessarily coincide fully with reality.
At the weekly meeting with my staff, someone pointed out the idea (that we all know who is entitled to "do something") it was swift exit towards "market" (the street is full of indicators) with briefcase full of proposals, prepared to offer customers of our competitors offers a rock-bottom prices, you can imagine my answer and I did the next day I just recount.
Again the word nothing, did nothing, and I will not do anything, one day an old fisherman of the land, he said, when the sea is brave the storm at its peak height, are not important tackle, or boat, how important is your life, it is clear that under what I read, and I see every day I meet more opinions that focus their attention on the boats and gear, no matter at all, not his own life but that of crew.
When it's quiet, it's time to continue with the task safely, without rushing, and selecting those pieces that fill the cabinets in the right balance.
Without having done anything, however my clients (those few) give me the joy of the week, have filled the quality control questionnaires, with a hint of satisfaction of 98%, which is enough to fill an apparently the beginning of this post the result was nothing or empty, and sometimes respond too quickly without value (like me).
All this is thanks to the teams (in this very particular case, my great great team) without them there would never again repeat this beautiful phrase NADA, which analyzes time (imagine between your fingers with a glass of a large reservoir) will realize that this much more full of what in itself means. Health

Authentic Aztec Costumes

?




This is not an outreach post content to appeal to those who regularly follow me on my theories somewhere between marketing and tourism, is a post with a strong accent to impotence against abuse Some airlines make with users.

'm travel agent and consumer at the same time, making the story clear to the reader that the reservation systems of air ences I are unknown, or the law.

happened this week on March 19, making a reservation in the pages of Vueling to fly the day April 1 to return the 3rd of Barcelona to Bilbao. Home

registration and tells me I can run a block booking is obvious since I have clear days, fares, schedules, etc.

Avanzo and put my bank details on the page, I press on, and when I print my boarding passes as missing more than seven days, back off, and leave pending the outcome, very attentive to all the dangers you are in the process, since everything is extra, reminded me BOUT Thernardier in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.

Two days later, enter the code supplied and tells me there is no reserve for this code, which does not exist, back again, personal, bank, choosing same flights, same dates, same Scoundrels (I) new locator.

system, I reserve a day before the day chosen (or you realize) and return one day later than elected (not you realize) until you can print your boarding pass and there you realize that you leave a day earlier and return a day later, but that you have already taken all your bank, complain, and you even called short-sighted, stupid, idiot and unhelpful.

You ask for help and answers to the problem, very nice response, such as changes on a reservation, the cost is 35 € each way, plus the fare differential between the scheduled day and the current + 20 €, so it goes, and thanks for letting me change. (Do not fuck).

next day, my accountant asked me ironically, your fitness wise but tell me how you intend to go twice the same day at Bilbao at the same time? Evident perplexity increased adrenaline guessing as all of you at this moment, "I have gained the same thing twice" externalized expression "bastard" .... Internalized after a string of expletives over to the cloud. Start

ordeal claims the phone that comes in website customer service phone tells me there (start well), we tested with E-mail, for entering the answer and I'm not Mr. Joan Gou am [ SR_Number: 1-154397660] my property and I have two codes are subject to the same Q29FBG and O2YSCA.

The answer is very simple, tell me more or less from the parameters of performance of the company (the client be given), if you it is foolish not our problem, you book two tickets and we are the charge, the change of dates, same response, the website works perfectly and if you are not careful we're going to do.

Obviously you look at her silly face is everywhere you look, if we are to the economic field, the party that should cost now amounts to € 132.50 332.70 considering that I have not flown and perhaps before boarding charge me extra for wearing buttons on the collar.

I can and I take my mistakes, but the company has given a clear example of a client to them is a mindundi, who are not interested at all, the proof is that until you stop being you for a reference number, (I understand that you give it to track the person-customer), but that address me as Mr 1-154397660 pissed off the most patient of mortals.

in advertising then we talk about customer service, customer service, loyalty, excellence ... these are loaded all that and more in seconds, as I'm concerned.

For those sailors who have to travel to the Cloud, darling with the keys and the fingers, review it, watch the clicks out of tune, and my recommendation is that if you can choose another company, even better, without lose sight of the above advice.

Low cost does not necessarily to mean "carte blanche to steal the personal"

I can go to court of course, but they know that rarely amounts for these users we get into legal mess, but this time I do not care what it costs the party, will guaranteed party. Whether

social networks support this public revulsion to fraudulent manipulation is high time that the RSC in the tag display virally infected in society physical or digital.


In my house the performance of this company only has a qualifying STEAL

Top Canadian Basketball Prospects

Time, Tourism 2.0



The snow and left step and its consequences, until then all said no more to say.

Before the snow, nobody could foresee that we could have a similar situation, but it could happen and it did.

have been addressed (without a precedent) as a general quickly and well, over time we realize that to bring generators from the Netherlands (mostly) takes time (we live installed on the culture of immediately.)

Responding to a catastrophe such as we have suffered (I say we have in the past, and that 98% of the population has been restored "normal"), it was not easy.

for once without a precedent, (especially the politicians) to thank all those who have worked for the welfare of the community tirelessly, mayors, councilors, staff, volunteers, etc. ... THANK YOU, Thank you .

Once showered and hairstyles, we can lower the room for a coffee, sit down and discuss the future with calm and serenity and also demand accountability.

Society has to learn to discern between the free and what is worthless.

The real or virtual society must begin to learn that nobody does anything about anything or anyone, all costs, why would I want a virtual society, if the real I do not know?

changes have to be individual, each with their abilities and media, only give an overall sum, shouting to others to change, not useless. Let

exchange (currency scarce in today's society). Culture

values \u200b\u200bversus virtual culture. Culture
real friends, neighborhood friends versus Facebook. Culture of small details
great speeches of ideologues versus amateurs. Culture
empathy, seminars versus preachers.

Discover who is capable of leading the screaming of the strongest.

technologies for me, but only the media, never ends (very personal).

could go on with more and more examples, but I think it has been clear enough, I'm saying that we must return to basics, "Back to Basics" to speak on equal terms beside the fireplace and turn off the TV, read a book and less facebook (thanks to the snow, these days it has recovered, there is an ill wind that blows no good.)
,
Being next to friends when you need to listen and talk less (this applies directly to me), I'm talking about values, those who seem to have kept in the storerooms in cardboard boxes and the humidity is destroying day day. Maybe some think

my dospuntocerismo is opportunistic, I'm absolutely the same, in this personal transition into the unknown, (in terms of technology, by dimension) won friends (some truth), and that is what for me is worthless.

That in my company is sold more or less does not depend on new technologies friends always depend on the ability of my team at satisfying customers, respect those who think otherwise (most work for others and have to justify their salaries).

is a shame, seeing as the company in the tourist area is full of opportunists who love the industry or are professional at all, (if any, and will habiéndolos) are passing, even while, blur the image.

I'm calm, because our customers appreciate the quality, detail, the "savoir faire" and they (opportunistic) will go the same way they came, (as they see an opportunity in any other activity) time we confirm it.

pains me to observe society (General) slope that "someone" subsidy, will attend, will subsidize, will resolve the issue of housing, mortgages, food etc.

follow this progression from what we now know as "social services" end up with one of the most important values \u200b\u200bon the "Effort" preventing the person who really need these services can access them.

The political class (in general) there we are doing a bitch (understands the value and tone of the word) and that makes this society that once was able to lead and power the country into a bunch of sheep subjected to the ration of alfalfa in exchange for a vote, that it stays that way, only depends on ourselves, get to work is a matter of minutes, without any conditions, or buts, or yes, the result can be spectacular.


Solidarity is not writing on paper, a wall, you do it quietly, but true.

Executive Motorhome Homepage



From the slogan "Spain is different" to this day, we see recently because of the crisis shows the S and we have the death or illness.
last few days participating in an online debate in response to a question, what do you think should be changed in the tourism sector and why?
This debate happens on Linked-in sponsored by Tourism Revolution
People Under the tutelage of Paula Martinez. There
try to argue my trenchant response NOTHING, but I fear that with little success in my efforts to give a touch Differential and provocative to generate discussion. I have a few months
unpublished self-imposed and put away to see what is happening, except for these brief forays into the debate to please Paula, and support them in their journey in this new phase in the project for her company Mind Project.
I've been analyzing the behavior of some of those who intervene in the sector, especially those sensitized with the technologies, distributors, specifiers, consultants, evangelists, prophets of doom, and a dreamer like me.
is constantly debate about the model, the need to innovate, new descriptive concepts in the field, we talk about tourism liquid, experiences and all the adjectives that you please add.
say anything and I stand, with a qualification, Back To Basics.
will try to argue, because I read many comments
reviled for tour operators, making them responsible for all evil "to the wall with them," with "healthy" intent to engage the end customer directly.
I would like to reassure them and tell them that this persecution is not required, the occupied territories they committed suicide some time by themselves, those who remain, are resisting in a rapidly changing environment with an outdated model, they know, they also know that they have very little unless you reinvent your business.
For his reinvention to succeed, and I would like to see more of a calling doors con aires de misericordia, mal que pese a muchos, ellos fueron los que levantaron este sector, muy distinto es que los de “aquí” no supieran gestionar las relaciones y los contratos con ellos, pasarles a ellos toda la responsabilidad, es de poco agradecidos por no utilizar un eufemismo más duro.
Mientras ocurre este episodio, vemos como el empresariado (compuesto mayoritariamente por hoteleros) empuja a los políticos a invertir mas y mas en la marca Spain, estos a cambio de no se sabe que, no dudan en gastar para una industria turística que tiene relevancia en función de si el día es o no soleado. Con la irrupción de las tecnologías y el declive del TTOO avanzan en sus demandas y solicitan que además is managed from boards, convention bureaus and other institutions, direct marketing tools, is where the "politics" are in addition to satisfying its customers the ability to generate resources (apostille I forgot that this "party" is fed public money only.)
traditional tour operators disappear and appear some new managers are known for Online's, which likes to compare one company to another will see what are the differences between these macro, goal-seeking product. "Innovation" has replaced the form but not the funds, new entrants enjoy the same product, to those who complained that they did not control the distribution of its product on the market, maybe now if I do and I have not heard.
This industry is one of the English state to promote its total charged to the pocket money of all the English, (can you imagine the car industry saw its entire promotion paid for by the pope been) with results debatable, as an amusement for lovers do an exercise simplistic calculation, add up all the central state budgets, communities, provincial boards, municipal and divide the figure by the number of tourists who say they visit each year, multiply it for fifty (or so years that this sector is a productive industry), the amount is exorbitant, the most natural thing would be that each of these years had been retaining high percentage of these visitors "satisfied" or, if that were true, be loyal to one percent, the list waiting to be able to holiday in Spain would be three years.
With the penetration of the tourist center stage 2.0 concept is for the customer.
(The last forty-nine, apparently not had any role)
will not enter the number of companies or individuals that are lurking around the sector (the dam) to see what can be cut out, should make us reflect through the mechanism of supply and demand, whether they have arisen in so short a time is that there are customers who are willing to pay for it, some may get lucky and give the right solutions, others will be victims.
I have been in the customer's shoes for more than three months, came to the following conclusions, based on my conversations with them.
1 .- I was first interested in the price. 2.-second
interests me the price.
3 .- I am interested third the price.
Asked by destination, service, etc. ...
is destiny I do not care if the price fits my chances.
The service is homogeneous (for better and for worse) across the Mediterranean offer, why Why waste time reading the brochures and see what they offer me?, whenever a good price
Put broth usually reward borrowers and buy my silence, (not to be confused with compensation for poor performance), if so, may repeat, Spain is a bargain.
This is the scenario today, the employer immersed in the crisis (not allocated to the sector) but is supportive and makes it his own, decides to take action driven by the situation.
Decision Making:
The model has changed and I need to replace the occupied territories.
In the absence of qualified staff, I do me. (With my kids, and external support).
original versions recommended by the experts and more planned are:
Talk to the client, the client is yours, all for you, the man who whispers to the client.
Growing concern for the image, corporate social responsibility and social networks.
(The latter was scary)
Given the political and the picture offered the crisis: industrial, construction, automotive, I'm your only hope.
(There are grown and they see an opportunity to ask more and more, and more).
could go on, but my intention is not to bore.
Conclusions:
The day that politicians realize that invest heavily in obsolete products will be too late.
If the policies run like a private company, not spend a single euro without having verified that the product is in demand and meets the needs of the consumer. (It is also their obligation to verify what regulates)
Employers have not yet adjusted accounts much is the bill the "party line", we may see some ragged clothes soon.
hope that this "holiday" ends soon, once we have cleaned the room, we can make the exact balance, these data only and not before, we know what the future holds for this sector.
Recommendations: Back to basics

do things right. Best regards from
