FRONT-LINE HOSPITALITY TRAINING

Front-Line Hospitality Training is an all-day session designed for those members of your staff that come in direct contact with customers.

Attendees will not only get the "Denver Visitor Experience" by touring a number of the city's most popular attractions but will also be engaged in various educational components, such as:

  • Information about Denver that is essential to all front-line associate's knowledge of the city
  • Practical customer service training for use in their daily tasks
  • A number of new resources for your staff to take away and reference as needed
     

Our day will conclude with all attendees receiving "Go the EXTRA Mile" certification.

You need only take the training once. To stay up-to-date on the latest visitor statistics, click here!

GO THE EXTRA MILE AWARDS

WHAT IS IT?

The Go the EXTRA Mile Awards are given to those hospitality front line representatives who go above and beyond in their interaction with customers.

This is your chance to express your appreciation for their superior service!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Nominate a front-line representative from your company (or anyone from whom you have received excellent service.) Nominations will be reviewed and the winner will be presented with a fun prize such as an overnight stay in a Denver hotel/resort, tickets to a major league sporting event or dinner for two at a fabulous restaurant. The winner is also recognized and invited to the VISIT DENVER Annual Partnership Dinner.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU?

Your nomination! We also ask that the winner's employer agree to provide one additional incentive to this person. Suggestions include free parking for a month, a day off, money or a gift certificate.
