Coach Operators

This is your chance to improve your negotiating techniques which will benefit both your programme and just as importantly, your bottom line.

Welcome to Jon Hartley Solutions

Jon Hartley has spent forty years in Travel and Tourism, and is well known and respected. Following almost twenty years as the Hotel Contracts Manager for a major tour operator, where he gained a reputation for being prudent and trustworthy , and contracted over one million bed nights every year, he moved to the InterContinental Hotels Group. Here, as the Account Director – Coach Sales EMEA, he not only looked after his major accounts, but put together and presented easy to understand PowerPoint Presentations to Sales, Revenue, and Reservation Managers of the franchisees. Here they learned not only how and when to attract groups, but just as importantly how to keep them for the future.  He was a major part of the team that enabled the Holiday Inn brand to win the Most Group Friendly Hotel Chain in the Group Travel Organiser Awards twice in four years, and only left when as the result of a fall, his back started to cause mobility problems.

 

Not one to sit on his ‘more than ample rear’, Jon has set up his own company, Jon Hartley Solutions, to advise both coach operators and hoteliers how to get the best deals available.

“Travel is no problem to me, either in the UK or Europe, as my back problem only affects my walking, but with the aid of a walking stick I can still get around quite well. The brain and mouth are unaffected, and I am still driving throughout Europe with no problems whatsoever”

Jon is a Fellow of The Institute of Travel and Tourism, a member of The Tourism Society, and Jon Hartley Solutions are proud to be members of The Coach Tourism Council.
