What began as a way for motorcoach operators to incorporate new product into their itineraries has grown to one of the most sought-after lists by travel professionals, motorcoach operators and the general public. “The attractiveness of the Old World Christmas Market as a don’t-miss entertainment value is only part of why its selection this year is such a distinction for The Osthoff Resort,” said Peter J. Pantuso, CTIS, ABA’s president and CEO. “The real news here is that the Old World Christmas Market has been recognized as a potential magnet for tourism dollars, at a time when reenergizing domestic tourism is so important to our spirit and our economy.

  • Travel Leaders Echo Experts: Make Fact-Based Decisions About Traveling U.S
    Travel Leaders Echo Experts: Make Fact-Based Decisions About Traveling U.S. Officials: "It Is Safe for Healthy Americans to Travel" WASHINGTON (March 10, 2020)—A coalition of 150 travel-related organizations issued the following statement on the latest developments around coronavirus (signatories below): "For the travel and hospitality industry, the safety of the traveling public, our guests and our employees is of the utmost importance. We are in daily contact with public health authorities and are acting on the most up-to-date information on the evolving coronavirus situation. "Health and government officials have continually assured the public that healthy Americans can 'confidently travel in this country.' While it's critically important to remain vigilant and take useful precautions in times like these, it's equally important to make calm, rational, and fact- based decisions. "Though the headlines may be worrisome, experts continue to say the overall coronavirus risk in the U.S. remains low. At-risk groups are older individuals and those with underlying health conditions, who should take extra precautions. "The latest expert guidance indicates that for the overwhelming majority, it's OK to live, work, play and travel in the U.S. By seeking and heeding the latest expert guidance—which includes vigorous use of good health practices, similar to the preventive steps recommended for the seasonal flu—America's communities will stay strong and continue to thrive. The decision to cancel travel and events has a trickle-down effect that threatens to harm the U.S. economy, from locally owned hotels, restaurants, travel advisors and tour operators to the service and frontline employees who make up the backbone of the travel industry and the American economy.

    PRESENT AND POTENTIAL USAGES OF SCANNER-DERIVED INFORMATION FOR MANAGERIAL DECISION-MAKING IN FOOD RETAILING by Jeffrey Miller Thomas Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Agricultural Economics APPROVED: Oran Capps, Jr., Chainnan Don L. Long David E. K~nyon September, 1986 Blacksburg, Virginia PRESENT AND POTENTIAL USAGES OF SCANNER-DERIVED INFORMATION FOR MANAGERIAL DECISION-MAKING IN FOOD RETAILING by Jeffrey Miller Thomas Oral Capps, Jr., Chairman Agricultural Economics (ABSTRACT) This study addresses the lag in effective usage of scanner-derived information in managerial decision-making. The purpose of this research is to clarify the informational needs of the various levels of manage- ment in a retail grocery firm and to develop an informational management system to deliver such information. The four specific objectives of this project are: (1) to identify the decision-making roles of the various levels of management in a firm, (2) to identify the present usage of scanner-derived information in decision-making, (3) to identify specific scanner-derived information which could facilitate the decision- making process, and (4) to develop a firm-wide information management system which would provide each management level with the information it needs and would coordinate total firm operations, but would not burden a particular level with large volumes of unnecessary data. The information used for meeting the objectives of this research was largely collected through open-ended discussions with various levels of management within seventeen cooperating retail grocery firms. The discussions placed emphasis on the current usages of scanner-derived data and on how to facilitate the use of scanner-derived data in managerial decision-making.
