BOA

BOA NSW has been approached by Dr. Brent Ritchie and Ms Jie Wang, from the University and Queensland, and Mr Guy Bentley from the Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School.

They are undertaking a nation-wide research to evaluate the current level and nature of crisis planning by managers in the Australian accommodation industry, and to identify factors that influence crisis planning behaviour. This study will also provide insights which can be used for future industry training, and offer suggestions to accommodations interested in improving their crisis readiness strategies.

As a part of this research they are conducting a 15 minute survey. They are interested in surveying all sorts of individuals, including owners, CEOs, executive committee members, regional managers, area managers, general managers and managing directors, as well as departmental heads (such as HR managers or rooms division manager etc.) working in the accommodation industry.
