1)
Please tell something about your organization,
key achievements and benefits you provide to global
hoteliers?
Comm-Trans originated the upscale hotel shuttle
concept in 1974 to provide the industry with transportation
meeting the image and needs of the individual
properties themselves. Since then, Comm-Trans
has been the leader in innovative commercial transportation
products, having acquired industry-specific experience
and knowledge essential to properly constructing
conversion vehicles that withstand the rigorous
use to which a hotel guest shuttle van is subjected
daily .
2) How has the economy downturn affected
your business? What steps have your taken to help
hoteliers in this economy? Any special deal, discount,
or offer? |
|
Our business usually reflects the economic trends
in the hotel industry. Today’s economy an operating
environment challenges everyone in the hospitality
industry to operate with maximum efficiency while
maintaining a quality-focus. After 35 years, Comm-Trans
is no exception and has risen to the challenge
by streamlining the entire transportation purchasing
process to save hotels money, effort, and time.
In July,
we announced two new funding options designed with the
unique needs of today’s hotels in mind - eliminating
red tape and doing away with personal or partnership
guarantees in most cases. Comm-Trans’ EasiLease and CTCapital programs make the funding
process quick, simple and easy. Properties franchised
under one of the major hotel flags… are automatically
pre-approved, saving even more time and hassles.
2010 will bring the launch of several new equipment
and warranty packages, giving hotels even more value
in their purchases.
3) What do you see as the future of Hotel industry?
What major trends will impact hotel business in coming
20 years?
The future for hotel industry is good. It's business
will come back as the economy recovers. Hotel energy
management will likely have the largest impact on hotels
in the coming years.
4) What benefits and key advantages you offer
over competition? Why should over readers consider doing
business with you?
Comm-Trans” approaches the construction methodology
entirely from a commercial use prospective. Our competition
approachs the construction process from a consumer use
prospective. Vehicles that are built to consumer standards
include those built for family style passenger vans,
recreational vans and handicap type vans. These are
intended for personal use vehicles, not commercial use.
These competitors add hotel shuttle vehicle amenities
to a van designed for family or personal use, but this
does not mean that it is now a van built to commercial
use standards.
Let's for a moment compare a guest shuttle van to your
hotels’ laundry and kitchen equipment. Where did you
purchase them? From a home appliance store? Of course
not. You were looking for a equipment constructed to
a commercial use standard that will provide many years
of dependable service in a very high volume capacity.
The level of service would be compromised greatly if
that equipment is built only to consumer use standards.
These consumer standards are designed for personal use
requirements, not commercial. So, you likely made your
equipment purchases from a company specializing in commercial
laundry and kitchen appliances, right? Well, guest transportation
vehicles are no different. A van built to consumer standard
cannot deliver service, dependability and durability
in a commercial environment. A Comm Trans converted
vehicle is constructed with the proper commercial components
needed to provide long-term service and maintain a fresh,
quality appearance in your guest Transportation vans.
5) Do you provide E-commerce or online payment
facility? Can our readers book your products or services
online?
In December 2009, we will launch our new website which
will feature a fully interactive vehicle showroom, allowing
visitors to virtually test-drive our vans and buses.
The site will even enable visitors to "try on"
their brand's logo and graphics packages so they may
see "the CommTrans Difference" inside and
out. Guests to our site will be able to select the floorplan,
options and graphics for their new hotel shuttle and
print, save, or email their colleague a one-page PDF
with their specifics and a color rendering of their
CommTrans vehicle.
