Home work 2: Setting up a hospitality & travel consulting business for asia

1. The domain name


I have selected www.asiahotelconsult.com

This domain name includes three important keywords, asia, hotel and consult, which gives an idea about the purpose of my business.

The domain name is very easy to pronounce and to remember.

Most people are familiar with a '. com'

2. The international web hosting service

I have chosen ixwebhosting.com because:

a. It has a very high rating in different web hosting services charts :-p

b. You can run Windows , Linux or Mac OS on your computer, it doesn't matter. They are fully compatible!

c. They offer different packages, whether you are new to hosting and have minimal needs or a corporation looking to minimize overhead - or anywhere in between, IX Web Hosting has the right hosting package for you!

d. It has all the important features such as unlimited web space and unlimited data transfer...

e. 24/7 technical support is also available and there is an international phone number

f. Interesting price

Who is Kris Mouton

My name is Kris Mouton, I am 32 years old and I come from Belgium, land of the chocolate and the beers.
I have been in Thailand for over 6 years and I really enjoy it here. I consider it as my new home.
I have been working at Siam University for the last 5 years, at the International Program for Hotel and Tourism Management. I take care of the hospitality courses -such as Introduction to Hotel and Tourism Studies, Beverage and Bar Management, Restaurant and Banquet Management, Food- and some marketing courses -such as Principles of Marketing, Consumer Behavior int the Tourism Industry,...-

I am an outgoing person, who's interested in football, music, clubbing, traveling and people. I spend my days meeting friends, surfing the web (hattrick.org and facebook are my favourite sites) and reading books about marketing strategies.

I decided to study at Silpakorn because I want to increase my knowledge and to make myself more marketable in the future.
