TANGIBILISING THE INTANGIBLE
Hospitality services are intangible which means not only the fact that they cannot be seen, tasted, heard, or smelled but also that it is impossible to experience these services before they are purchased. It causes uncertainty in the customers about the quality of services they are going to purchase. Before boarding an airplane, passengers have nothing but a ticket and the promise of safe delivery to their destination. To reduce this uncertainty, the customers look for physical evidence that may provide information and confidence about the service. A hotel’s promotional material might include photographs of the hotel’s public area, guest rooms, floor plans of a meeting hall (for meeting planners who might like to organize a meeting in the hotel), room capacities and furniture, the photographs of employees in the hotel’s uniform, of the exterior of the hotel, etc.
Everything about a hospitality company communicates something that helps to tangibilize its services. Red and white awnings, the outside patio and white striped building wall displaying the signs of the restaurant chain TGI Friday’s in large letters tell the potential guests that this restaurant offers informality and fun. A couple looking for an elegant, intimate atmosphere would be disappointed at Friday’s.
Similarly, the exterior of the hotel Hampton Inn’s suggests that it will provide clean, comfortable and safe lodging at moderate price. When guests arrive, they find no door clerks, concierge desk, or other features appropriate for an upscale hotel. Instead, they find an attentive desk clerk in an appropriate uniform and a small lobby with comfortable but moderate furnishing. In recent years, the so-called “greening” has become popular with the organizations of hospitality industry: the use of outside natural landscaping and the “fern bars” as a part of the interior.
Hospitality companies are very sensitive to protecting the visual image and overall appearance known as trade dress. The McDonald’s has brought suit against competitors who dared to copy any form of golden arches. Experts say that to compete effectively in today’s market, it is necessary to design an effective trade dress while taking care not to imitate too closely that of any competitor.
1. Give Russian equivalents and use them in the sentences of your own:
a promotional material, a floor plan, specific, room capacity, lodging, a lobby, a door clerk, a concierge, a desk clerk, greening.
2. Write out from the text the whole sentences which contain the words and phrases given below and translate them into Russian:
to purchase a service, before boarding an airplane, physical evidence, to provide confidence, exterior of the hotel, the outside patio, safe lodging at moderate price, features appropriate for, moderate furnishing, natural landscaping, interior, trade dress, to bring a suit against, to imitate closely.

2. What sort of information is usually given in typical promotional materials?
3. What idea does the exterior of the restaurants belonging to the chain TGI Friday’s communicate?
4. What does the exterior of the hotels belonging to the chain Hampton Inn’s suggest?
5. What term is used in hospitality industry to refer to the use of vegetation as a means to decorate the building?

CONTACT PERSONNEL
Efforts to control consistency in the hospitality industry are sometimes unsuccessful because concentration is not placed on the right areas. In the book called You Can’t Lose If the Customer Wins Ron Nykiel, a former vice-president for Stouffer Hotels discusses the areas in the hotel on which employee – customer contacts take place. He calls these areas “points-of-encounter”. Here is the extract from this book which begins with an imaginary journey in which the readers are invited to stay at the imaginary hotel called King’s Crown.
“Our flight has just landed and you decide to call the hotel so that to inform the hotel that we are here and arrange for a pickup in their van. You find a phone booth and dial the number.
Encounter Point 1: The Voice on the Phone. The phone is ringing and ringing and ringing. After what seems like eternity a voice answers, “Hello!” You wonder if this is really King’s Crown Hotel and not the hell. Before we can say more, the voice says, “Please hold on,” and is gone. When it returns, you state the purpose of your call. “But you are booked for tomorrow, are you sure you’re here?”
After a considerable discussion, you are told that you can have a room, but all the nonsmoking ones are gone. Fortunately, there is one available since the previous guest just died of emphysema, leaving available space. Wait for a van near Terminal 2.
Encounter Point 2: Our Delightful Driver. After twenty-nine minutes of your waiting under cold drizzle, the van arrives. A nonuniformed individual of questionable gender tells us that someone forgot to tell (him/her?) that passengers were waiting until just now, so (he/she?) cannot be blamed for being late. Mr. or Ms driver got a bad disk out of joint yesterday, so we have to place our bags in the van. Arriving at the hotel we unload the bags, but find our driver waiting with palm up.
Encounter Point 3: The Invisible Bell Person. Thirty centimeters before dragging ourselves to the front desk, a uniformed porter emerges from thin air and attempts to “de-bag” us. Having dragged tonnage this far, we reject the offer only to be given that look of “miserable low-class skinflints”.
Encounter Point 4: The Front Desk. The Bell Cap is not the only person to suddenly emerge as now a Convention of Royal Muscrats in front of us to the only desk clerk on duty. Forty-seven minutes later it is our turn.
You guessed it; reservation didn’t relay the message that we were coming and the body still has not been removed from that single remaining smoke-filled vacant available room. Suddenly, the desk clerk asks if we don’t love the appearance of the lobby, which was just renovated with pure gold at a cost of $365 million. Ten minutes later we are being escorted to the police station for attempted murder of a desk clerk.”

“Please hold on!”, nonsmoking rooms are gone, a guest died leaving available space, a nonuniformed individual of questionable gender, our driver is waiting with palm up, a porter attempts to “de-bag” us, a look of “miserable low-class skinflints”, for attempted murder of a desk clerk, we are being escorted to, the only desk clerk was on duty.
