How it was Created
We brainstormed and gathered some ideas from each
member of the team, from other departments. We
collected the relevant information & grouped them
according to categories.
We read about guest comments from Facebook, Trip
Advisor, Magazines and Newspapers.
Ideas were submitted to Ms. Cecile Weber and later
approved by HM.

The Cost &Implementation
Php 300 per book X 16 pcs which amounted to P4,800.
We started to implement this in September 2013.
The Blue Book is an original idea and was not copiedfrom another hotel. Before the Blue Book, we havecompiled the information in a shared drive.Accessing soft copy of the information in the PCtakes more time and has proven to be a challenge
when you have several windows that are open andfiles are saved in various formats.

jobs by giving accurate information as quickly as
