Paws Up Closes For The Winter, Cuts Jobs
Just a couple of days ago, my colleague Rigel Celeste mentioned the luxury camping trend and the Paws Up Resort in Montana. But the trend doesn't seem to have been enough to keep the resort open year round. KPAX in Montana reports that 70 employees at Paws Up will lose their jobs November 1st. Paws Up, which has been a four-season resort, plans to close for the next several months during the winter season, opening up only for the Christmas and New Year holiday period but then closing down until the snow melts around mid-April. The resort says they had a record summer but can't afford to stay open in the winter months.

Is really interesting the idea to improve the offers to the customers and to be opened also in other periods, normally closed. Is important to anticipate the requests of the tourism; is the same in Italy, but the people doesn't understund! In 1998 I've suggested to be open the mountain tourism in Asiago (VI) also in the middle seasons for improve the economy of the site (I'm Project Manager and Consultant); I've lived there with my family for 4 years, but nothing! People don't believe in news! And now? A lot of people (about 1,200 or more) move everyday in plain for work (50 - 100 miles/day); 2 years ago I sold my house and now I live in Trentino - Alto Adige.
