Topic 1 Business relationships

No business can survive without the goodwill that is developed through establishing mutually beneficial relationships between the organisation, customers and suppliers. It is impossible to work in the tourism, hospitality and events industry without possessing the ability to effectively establish a wide variety of business relationships in a variety of contexts, including our contemporary cultural environment.

In this topic we will examine and discuss the building of trust and respect with the use of effective communication skills and how to identify and use the opportunities that arise to maintain regular contact with your customers and suppliers, thus ensuring the maintenance of business relationships.
