After doing Starwood project, I found out that Starwood has a very good web-marketing strategy by having corperate blog to share experiences between consumers that also act as a browser to check on availability of room. And their loyalty program are also recorded in web. It can be a good opening insight for hotel industry.

Furthermore, this project help me recall previous several lessons that are taught. It is like an application method and reinforce what we had already learnt.
