FORT RESORT BEEMSTER WINS AWARD NATIONAL WELLNESS COMPETITION

 

On February 10, 2014, the Dutch National Wellness Awards were presented in Hooge Vuursche Castle, Baarn, The Netherlands. Voters were asked to rate atmosphere, hospitality, hygiene and price/quality ratio. Fort Resort Beemster, which only opened its doors in 2012, was voted nr. 1 with the most votes in the province of North Holland. Country wide, Fort Resort Beemster attained a respectable 3rd place.

Fort Resort Beemster is part of the Unesco World Heritage listed, Amsterdam defence ring. Once upon a time soldiers slept in this 100 year old fort. Now it has been transformed into a luxurious hotel and restaurant with superb wellness facilities.

Information about England

The United Kingdom has historically played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith in the 19th century, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two world wars and the Irish Republic's withdrawal from the union. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council and a founding member of NATO and the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy. The UK is also an active member of the EU, although it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999. The latter was suspended until May 2007 due to wrangling over the peace process, but devolution was fully completed in March 2010.

Introduction

This blog is a part of a IBL students project called marketing research and international marketing plan for QL Hotels.
During a period of 14 weeks a team of dedicated students work together to finish a project especially for QL Hotels.
During these 14 weeks we started with a full research into the English market and the opportunities that are available for the hotel chain QL Hotels.
With 4 members from different backgrounds and studies we've got a big variety of nationalities and experiences of different studies. These ingredients combined are a solid basis for completing the project for QL Hotels.
