A: As you know, this year, as an expression of our gratitude to our staff members, we have decided to award them with a holiday. But there are couples of questions we should discuss before making decisions.
B: I am open to all discussions.
A: As we all know, finding a proper hotel for staff members isn't an easy thing. We should consider the problem from all aspects, for example, price ranges, location, business and leisure facilities, etc. I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions on this topic.
B: I would definitely consider location, price and leisure facilities as the most important factors.
A: Oh, you would? Why is that?
B: Well, I think that staff members should enjoy their time in leisure. And location should of course play an important pole as well as price.
A:I agree, continue.
B: The place should be in the outskirts which means the price is obviously higher than in the center of the city. This gives the feeling of importance to our staff.
A: This is excellent, I think we should do it! Thank you.
