BEFORE STARTING A HOTEL MARKET STUDY
What Is a Hotel Market Study?
Hotel Market Study is an analysis of hotels in a geographical market to provide meaningful insights that include major market trends, competitive performance, environmental forces and opportunities, and the uniqueness of the hotel market.
What Is the Purpose of This Assignment?
It is designed to provide each student an opportunity to have an industry-level analytic experience with live data. According to STR, after completing this assignment, you can say that you have analytical experience with live data in your job interview and shows your work. LSUS purchases the data each year and shares it with our current students for free. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity.
HOTEL MARKET STUDY INSTRUCTIONS
Which Market?
You will perform a hotel market study for Chicago, USA.
Will I use Specific Data to Conduct a Market Study? And Where Can I Find It?
Yes, you will need to analyze the reports and data files to conduct your market study. These reports and data files are available:
Chicago, USA (if chosen): See the “Hotel Live Data-Chicago, USA” attached.
Will I Use Information/Data from Other Resources (e.g., Google)?
For ONLY two sections (“Market Introduction” and “Uniqueness of the Market”), you will need to search for information/data from other resources (e.g., Google). For the remaining sections, you will need to use the reports and data files provided attached.
