Their words, not mine

Waxing lyrical about how good one's company is just doesn't cut it in 2016. I prefer to let our community of hosts do the talking.

Spot on Signage

In the same way the Comic Sans font would be appropriate for a primary school exercise and highly inappropriate for an academic essay, when it comes to signage the same rule applies: yes for kiddies play areas, no for nearly every other type of business. 

Here I celebrate the businesses in our LT Destinations that have Spot on Signage. Respectfully not taking a pop at the poor signage by outing the outdated and shaming the shabby, I seek to inspire those who have been teetering on replacing their letters for the better.

Why photography matters when marketing your hotel

Head of LT Photography Peter Jefferson with some top tips for tip-top images:

• Most people make their decisions about holidays or business trips online, increasingly using phones and tablets to access websites

• The first impact of a website is visual -  many people leave a website in less than a second, you need to grab their attention

• A dark, small looking room will put potential Guests off, as will grainy out of focus pictures

• A quick snap taken on your phone may save time but will not sell your hotel
