Проведение конференций — очень выгодный бизнес для
отелей. Любой съезд гарантирует хорошую наполняемость отеля в течение, по меньшей мере, нескольких дней. Кроме того, что группа устроителей арендует специальные помещения для проведения встреч, люди, участвующие в конференции, создают дополнительный бизнес для баров, ресторанов и магазинов отелей. Часто участников конференции сопровождают члены их семей, что создает дополнительную выгоду для отелей. Фактически, конференция — это сочетание отдыха с бизнесом, шанс отвлечься от ежедневных проблем. За проведение конференций в штате отеля отвечают несколько специалистов: менед- жер-организатор конференций, менеджер по банкетам, а также технический и обслуживающий персонал. Переговоры о проведении конференции могут продолжаться в течение длительного промежутка времени, так как на рынке имеется огромный выбор таких услуг. Для того, чтобы привлечь клиентов, отели предлагают сниженные цены на проживание и самую низкую цену за услуги и оборудование. Менеджеры тщательно согласовывают свою работу с требованиями к помещениям в отеле.

THE PUSHKIN CENTRE: A MARKETING OPPORTUNITY?
Pushkin City Administration is searching for investors for its planned international culture and business centre — Pushkin Centre. Being projected to cost US $7 million, it will house a 400-seat
255
cinema/theatre/concert hall, an exhibition hall, a business centre, a film/video studio, an 80-bed hotel, catering units, a bank, shops and parking and garaging facilities. The Centre is supposed to be the venue for exhibitions, lectures, concerts and other events both national and international, with the accent on commemoration of Alexander Pushkin.
Having looked at the techniques used to market a comparable attraction in Stratford Ludmila Chernovskaya proposed that some of these could be used for the Pushkin Centre. The attraction was Cox’s Yard, formerly a timber business. It had ceased work in the early 1990s and had become something of an eyesore. Having purchased it the Stratford Council staff faced a large number of proposals for developing it. Many businessmen wanted to invest in this project. It was easy for Stratford Council to choose a brewery company, which developed the yard into a heritage exhibition based on the history of Stratford itself rather than Shakespeare.
To estimate the potential size of the market, a marketing and public relations company was engaged as publicity consultant to the project. The number of visitors to Stratford every year is even greater than those who visit Pushkin: three million, a huge number for a town with only 23,000 residents. Cox’s Yard was due to open in the autumn of 1998.
However, it was necessary to decide which of these should be targeted as possible visitors. The consultant decided that they should be general customers and families, organized groups, coach and tour operators, educational visits and conference groups. Based on this, the consultant devised a PR strategy to communicate with them. Advertising was sure to be an important element. Local and national media, direct mail and brochures/leaflets were used. Tour and coach operators were offered ‘packages’ tailored to their needs. However, there was also a publicity campaign to organize. This had two aspects. A locally-oriented publicity campaign being important was perceived by everybody. So the consultant made personal contacts with local editors, journalists and photographers. In the meantime, similar contacts were being made with well-targeted national periodicals, such as Coach Tours UK, Group Travel Organizer, Coach
256
Tours and Excursions and Travel Britain. The consultants did not miss chances for ‘photo opportunities’ or free publicity.
A number of the staff involved in tourism in Pushkin travelled to Britain as a part of the Tacis project, either to work with their counterparts in Stratford, or to attend training courses, or both. They included the Team Leader from Pushkin Irina Vorontsova who is Chief of International Relations at Pushkin Council. Ms. Vorontsova looked at the activities of Stratford on Avon Council and the way they influenced tourism.
Pushkin has already acted on ideas similar to those in the Stratford documents. It now has a District Tourism Council. It also has a steering group, which works with staff from the Russian Academy of Tourism helping to develop the Targeted Program of Actions in Tourism (TPAT). Articles having been published in the local newspaper, the steering group wanted people to participate in the development of the tourism strategy for Pushkin. If men of enterprise joined the project, it would be easier to promote the tourism strategy for Pushkin.
Ms. Vorontsova held discussions with several of the departments of Stratford Council finding out about the legal aspects of local democracy which she regarded as important. She expressed particular interest in the provisions for disabled people, both as tourists and as employees in the tourism sector. Pushkin District Administration is developing a project for a rehabilitation centre for the disabled including hotel, restaurant, and sports and leisure areas. Pushkin contains several institutions and residences for the handicapped or for the elderly, and already has some experience in providing special events, tours and exhibitions for them.

ITAEWON
Itaewon was one of the four accommodation facilities that were established in the four corners of Hanyang (now Seoul) for the convenience of travellers and officials on government business. The four facilities included Bojewon and Jeongwanwon in the east, Hongjewon in the west, and Itaewon in the south. Itaewon originally stood where Yongsan Middle and High Schools are located today. In modern times, the street named Itaewonno was made on a steep mountain slope in Hannam-dong according to Seoul urban design plans and Itaewon was thus moved to its present location around the Hamilton Hotel.
The present Itaewon shopping district began to form about 40 years ago. After the liberation from Japanese colonial rule, small merchants began to gather here to sell souvenirs to American soldiers in order to make a living. One by one the small stores were turned into tailor shops or antique shops and from the mid-1970s Itaewon began to take shape as a real shopping district catering to foreign residents of Korea and foreign tourists. From the time of the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympic Games, Itaewon grew rapidly into a major Korean shopping town and became what it is today.
Walking along the street in Itaewon one can see many signs reading “Big Size” or “Big and Tall”. As these signs show, Itaewon appeals to the tastes of foreigners and for selling clothes and shoes that fit the larger sized foreigners.
With the establishment of foreign culture in the area, Itaewon is the only place in Seoul where foreigners can get together and relax and together relieve the tension of living as foreigners in Seoul. It is a big help that most of the merchants in the area can speak English, making communication no problem. Apart from this, there are many bars, clubs, and restaurants where foreigners gather to appease the loneliness of being in a foreign country.
