Hello and welcome to EOtv. I’m Randell Mauricio

And I’m Terri Apostle. Thanks for joining us today.

Terri, can you define you company’s culture?

I don’t even know where to start with that one!

Well A little later, we’ll tell you, and no, it doesn’t start with the dictionary.

We will also find out how the economy is affecting business travel and companies that depend on it.

And there is no better time than right now to get started!

Does your company have a clear vision and a well-defined culture?

According to the World Tourism Barometer travel for leisure and business has dropped more than 8 per cent in the last year, affecting companies and service businesses that thrive on revenue from tourism. Andrea Grisdale is the owner of IC Bellagio, a destination travel company in Italy.
