IntroductionToday, being eco-minded is an integral part of living consciously. Consumers are switching to “slow” food, “slow” fashion, “slow” living, focusing on quality and durability rather than quantity and growth.

ABOUT US

People are caring not only about what and how they consume; they are questioning their impact on environment and society: consumerism is gradually giving way to mindful lifestyle. Now, it’s not about owning or digesting more, it’s about consuming no more than you really need, making the most of resources and giving back to nature.

Partnership with international airways

Our hotel can have the contract with airways, increasing in more

customers.

ThreatsSWOT Analysis

Competition

There are different types of hotels, such as economy hotel, theme hotel,

hotel,resorts etc thus, will attract customers, and also clients needs and

wants.

Exchange rate fluctuations

The currencies will make the hotel’s investments difficult, because costs

and revenues are changing very rapidly.

Price wars

The competitors will use lower price or get more products and services with a

nice price to attract customers.

Change in tastes

Consumers can change their tastes very quickly. So our hotel depends on knowing which products and services

that consumers want.

Economic slowdown

This reason will result in people do not have enough money for travel.

A bad economy can hurt business by decreasing the number of potential

customers.

Mature markets

Mature markets are competitive. In order for hotel to grow in a mature market, it has to increase market

share, which is difficult and expensive

Political risk

Politics can increase ecology hotel’s risk factors.

Because government can quickly change business rules that negatively

affect our hotel business.

Substitute products

The availability of substitute products hurts the hotel ability to raise prices.

Because customers can easily witch to another products and services.

Revenue Rate

As calculated, the expected profit will be after 155 months. (13 years)
