| MINOTEL focuses on quality |
The spectacular development of the internet has thoroughly
changed the way customers make reservations. To remain useful, co-
operative chains need to develop new assets.
Worldwide business operations have been conducted from the Lausanne
headquarters since Minotel took over
Minotel International in 2005. The number of members has decreased
quantity-wise on a national and
international level (currently 200 hotels in 25 countries). The
group is actively involved in drumming up new
members while focusing on the quality of its offer and the
attractiveness of its products. Intended for hotel
entrepreneurs outside Europe, Minotel’s 2008 Hotel Guide dedicates
a full page to presenting the chain’s
franchising system.

Top-class hotels in today’s key strategic tourist locations joined
Minotel such as Istanbul (Hotel Pierre Loti),
Tunis, Douala in Cameroon (Hotel Vallée des Princes), Tokyo (Green
Korakuen) as well as Canton, Beijing and
Shanghai. China promising excellent prospects, a Chinese staff
member is assigned full-time to this market.
Individual customers more and more using the internet resulted in a
cutback in staff at Minotel Central
Reservations to 6 from 12. This notably induced a drop in
membership fees of 15% (costs are between
CHF 10 and 30 per day). The company’s powerful web site
www.minotel.com is an important
asset for
members. It triggered the increase in room reservations for member
hotels. Their yearly average doubled
from 250 in 2000 to 500 (i.e. 1000 overnight stays) in 2007. This
figure increases when factoring in a
comparable number of reservations made directly with the hotel’s
front desk by customers who rely on the
Minotel brand image, the distribution of the yearly hotel guide and
word-of-mouth advertising. In conclusion,
the Minotel turnovers take the elevator up while the general
expenses take the stairs.
Minotel is managed by its President Pierre Goy and its managing
director Marielle Goy. The annual
Assembly was held in Lausanne on 11 June. Pierre-André Pannatier of
Minotel Alpenblick in Zermatt
elected as a new Board member. This hotelier is also president of
the Valais Hotel Association.
