The document discusses Smith Hotels and what makes their brand unique.

It ranges from small £100 per night guesthouses to £1000 per night luxury stays.

The in-water boat show was a great event, terrific attendance and results. 9 of CT's top dealers join together with over 80 new boats, all available for sea-trials. This is the only in-water boat show where consumers are encouraged to drive the boat that interests them, in the scenic sound of Greenwich.
The document discusses river cruise calendars and booking patterns. It notes that river cruise demand is growing and sells out fast, attracting a diverse customer base. River cruise operators sail according to tidal conditions and water levels, with different rivers cruising at different times. As a rule, UK clients book river cruises around 6 months in advance to secure their preferred cruise and cabin. The clientele for river cruises tends to be empty nesters between 50-70 years old who enjoy active, escorted tours.
The document discusses how revenue growth is the largest driver of shareholder return but many CEOs focus on cost cutting instead of growth initiatives. It outlines a 4-step process companies can follow to systematically accelerate revenue growth: 1) Define and focus resources on the core business, 2) Establish a common set of market facts and insights, 3) Select the most powerful growth initiatives to implement well, 4) Master the process of change management. The first step is using a "spider chart" to identify the core customers, products, channels and geographies that make up 80% of profits in order to focus on high-potential opportunities within the existing business.

While JavaScript syntax uses curly braces like C, its treatment of functions and data structures bears more resemblance to Scheme and Lisp.
