If Hotelinfo belongsTo Hotel I imagine you have (or could have) a
hasOne (probably) association the other way. The point is that if you
have an association between the models they have automatic access to
each-other.
In Hotel you could go: $this->Hotelinfo->doSomething(); or even $this-
>Hotelinfo->Hotelinfomaster->doSomething();
Even if you don't wan to have the association necessary to "reach" the
model you need, you can always call
App::import('Model', 'Hotelinfo');
$Hotelinfo = new Hotelinfo();
In your case you would probably call for the creation of a Hotelinfo
record in your afterSave() in Hotel. You could move most of your
controller function into Hotelinfo and call it something descriptive
like createNewFor(). You would just have to adjust the references and
remove the redirects, flashes and requestActions.
