In the hotel industry, a loyalty program is a useful and beneficial tool to improve their customer service and entice their guests to stay with them on return visits. The purpose of this study was to conduct a best practices study on loyalty programs in luxury hotel chains. The researcher used a best practices matrix to examine the loyalty programs of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, Omni Hotels and Resorts, and Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants.

    L’iléus biliaire est une complication rare de la lithiase biliaire; Il est caractérisé par la triade radiologique, syndrome occlusif, aérobilie et localisation ectopique d’un calcul dans le tube digestif. La cause est généralement une fistule bilio-digestive. En dehors de l’évacuation spontanée du calcul qui est rare et intéresse surtout les calculs de moins de 2 cm, le traitement reste dans la majorité des cas chirurgical. Nous rapportons le cas d’une patiente de 80ans, admise pour occlusion, chez qui le bilan étiologique retrouve la triade caractéristique de l’iléus biliaire; L’évolution a été marquée par l’émission spontanée par l’anus d’un gros calcul de 5 cm, suivie d’une nette amélioration clinique avec disparition des signes de l’occlusion
