You could also consider registering with Yahoo! Search Marketing, perhaps under Local Search - Scotland, Inverness.

Keep a record of previous visitors, and mail shot them with news on the Hotel.

Double or quit - gamble on potential major SBU's for the future. Growth - grow the market by focusing just enough resources here.
