Typical market segments include specialized resort travel, family pleasure travel, travel by the elderly, and travel by singles and couples. They are generally price-sensitive.

Group travelGroup travel is considered different from
business travel because some groups, such as organized tours, travel for pleasure.
Business travel related to meetings and conventions is commonly classified into 2 markets; institutional and corporate/government. Gatherings held by the institutional market are usually open to the public. (National conventions held by trade associations.)
Gatherings held by the corporate/government market are usually closed to the public. (Professional and technical meetings, training seminars.)

5) OWNERSHIP AND AFFILIATIONIndependent HotelsChain HotelsManagement contractsFranchisingReferral groups
10/04/23 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
Independent Hotels
They have no relationship to other hotels regarding policies, procedures, marketing, or financial obligations. A typical example of an independent property is a family-owned-and-operated hotel.
The unique advantage of an independent hotel is its autonomy. An independent hotel, however, may not enjoy broad advertising exposure or management insight and consultancy of an affiliated property, and is unable to take advantage of the volume purchasing power of a chain hotel.
10/04/23 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
Chain HotelsChain ownership usually imposes certain
minimum standards, rules, policies, and procedures to restrict affiliate activities. In general, the more centralized the organization, the stronger the control over the individual property.
A chain is usually classified as operating under a management contract or as a franchise or referral group.
10/04/23 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
Management contracts
Management companies are organizations that operate properties owned by other entities.
Under this type of contract, the owner or developer usually retains the financial and legal responsibility for the property.
The Management Company usually operates the hotel, pays its expenses and in turn, receives an agreed-upon fee from the owner to developer.
10/04/23 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
FranchisingFranchising is simply a method of distribution
whereby one entity that has developed a particular pattern or format for doing business-the franchisor-grants to other entities-franchisees-the right to conduct such a business provided the franchisee follows the established pattern.
10/04/23 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
Referral groupsReferral groups consist of independent
hotels, which have banded together for some common purpose. While each property in a referral system is not an exact replica of the others, there is sufficient consistency in the quality of service to satisfy guest expectations. Best Western Int. Hotel is an example of a referral group.
