M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts?
W: Yes, certainly.[13]I was a marketing consultant, responsible for marketing ten UK hotels. They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector, all of a very high standard.
M: Which markets were you responsible for?
W: For Europe and Japan.
M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?
W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations.[14]As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.
M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job?
W: Yes, I’ve had a lot. The truth is I’ve become very popular with the Japanese, both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.
M: Really? I am interested to hear more about that, but first tell me have you ever traveled on a luxury train? The Orient Express, for example.
W: No, I haven’t. But I have traveled on the Glacier Express to Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago.[15]I love train travel. That’s why I am very interested in this job.
