ORGANIZATION PROFILE

BACKGROUND

Visitors are further sub-divided into two categories: tourists; who must stay one or morenight in the place visited and same-day visitors; visitors who visit a place and return the

Same day. Comprises many industries like lodging, transportation, entertainment, meals,

and financial services, among others.

It is boom time for India's Tourism and Hospitality sector. A 5,000 year history, culture,

religion and alternative medicine fascinate both budget and luxury travelers alike. The

focus of the industry is on the Atithi Devo Bhavah campaign, targeted at the inbound

foreign tourists in the country. Translated literally this means Guest is God.

The Department of Tourisms resolve in promoting Indian tourism has strengthened as it

recognises its potential. Tourism in India is the third largest foreign exchange earner,

accounting for 2.5 per cent of GDP. It also makes a direct contribution to economy with

significant linkages with agriculture, horticulture, handicrafts and construction.

CURRENT STATUS

Commencing with a slow growth at the start of the millennium, the Indian tourism

industry has performed quite well in the last couple of years. The Indian tourism industry

has out-performed the global tourism industry in terms of growth in the volume of

international tourists as well as in terms of revenue. The World Travel and Tourism

Council (WTTC) has named India along with China as one of the most fastest growing

tourism industries for the next 10 to 15 years.

The key driver for this growth in the Indian tourism industry has been a fast growing

economy for the last 3-4 years. Despite lagging in the basic infrastructure that supports

the tourism industry, Indian tourism industry has been showing an impressive double-

digit growth. In order to sustain this growth and meet the expectations, it is essential for

the Government of India to invest in infrastructure such as transport and

accommodations.


3/51

According to global hotel and hospitality consulting firm, HVS International, the strong

performance in tourist arrivals in 2005 can be attributed to a strong sense of business

and investment confidence in India inspired by: Indias strong GDP performance.

Strengthening of ties with the developed world, and

Opening of sectors of the economy to private sector / foreign investment. The

efforts made by the Ministry of Tourism & Culture in the last few years have had a

salutary effect on India's tourism industry.

THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

The Hotel Industry comprises a major part of the Tourism industry. Historically viewed

as an industry providing a luxury service valuable to the economy only as a foreignexchange earner, the industry today contributes directly to employment (directly

employing around

0.15 million people), and indirectly facilitates tourism and commerce.

Prior to the 1980s, the Indian hotel industry was a slow-growing industry, consisting

primarily of relatively static, single-hotel companies. However, the Asiad, held in New

Delhi in 1982, and the subsequent partial liberalization of the Indian economy generated

tourism interest in India, with significant benefits accruing to the hotel and tourism

sector, in terms of improved demand patterns. Growth in demand for hotels was

particularly high during the early 1990s following the initiatives taken to liberalize the

Indian economy in FY1991, as per the recommendations of the International Monetary

Fund (IMF). The euphoria of the early 1990s prompted major chains, new entrants and

international chains to chalk out ambitious capacity additions, especially in the

metropolitan cities. However, most of these efforts were directed towards the business

travellers and foreign clientele.

Structure of the Industry

Hotels in India are broadly classified into 7 categories (five star deluxe, five-star, four

star, three star, two star, one-star and heritage hotels) by the Ministry of Tourism,

Government of India, based on the general features and facilities offered. The ratings are

reviewed every five years..

Premium and Luxury Segment

This segment comprises the high-end 5-star deluxe and 5-star hotels, which mainly cater

to the business and upmarket foreign leisure travellers and offer a high quality and range

of services.


5/51

Mid-Market Segment

This segment comprises 3 and 4 star hotels, which cater to the average foreign and

domestic leisure traveller. This segment also caters to the middle level business travellerssince it offers most of the essential services of luxury hotels without the high costs since

the tax component of this segment is lower compared with the premium segment.

Budget Segment

These comprise 1 and 2 star hotels referred to as Budget Hotels. These categories do

not offer as many facilities as the other segments but provide inexpensive

accommodation to the highly price-conscious segment of the domestic and foreign

leisure travellers.

Heritage Hotels

In the past four decades, certain architecturally distinctive properties such as palaces and

forts, built prior to 1950, have been converted into hotels. The Ministry of Tourism has

classified these hotels as heritage hotels.

Others

At any point in time, applications for classification are usually pending with the Ministry

of Tourism because of which such properties remain unclassified. The number of hotel

rooms pending classification has declined from historical 15-20per cent to 5per cent of

the total rooms available in the recent past.

Key Consumer Segments

The market for the hotel industry can be divided into the following key consumer

segments based on purpose of visit:

The Business Traveler


6/51

The Business Traveler is a businessman or a corporate executive travelling for business

purposes. This segment includes corporates, both domestic and foreign, who open

offices in the hotel premises during start-ups, corporate executives who make extended

stay either for long duration projects or while waiting for permanent accommodation(primarily expatriates) and convention arrivals. While the senior executives usually stay

in 5 star hotels, the middle level executives, who are much larger in number, stay in the

budget hotels.

This segment offers better realizations, as they demand relatively smaller discounts on

room rents (about 10per cent-15per cent), use more of facilities such as PCs, fax multi-

media, conference halls. Also, the Food & Beverage (F&B) revenues are better as they

usually eat in the hotel itself due to their busy schedules.

The Leisure Traveler

The Leisure Traveler could either be a foreigner or a domestic traveler whose primary

purpose of visit is holiday and site seeing. Among non-business foreign tourists the

primary motivation for visiting India is largely cultural attraction followed by

conferences and conventions, tourist attractions like beaches, wild life, hill resorts etc.

Usually, leisure travelers are part of a package run by a tour operator. The margins

offered by leisure travelers tend to be lower because of two reasons. Firstly, they seek

higher discounts and also provide less F&B revenues as they usually eat out. The

business offered by this segment is highly seasonal and tends to peak in the September to

March period.

Airline Cabin Crew

Airline Cabin Crew forms another important segment because of the repetitive and

guaranteed nature of the business that they provide. Usually, these are a part of an annual

contract whereby, in return for a fixed rate, a certain number of rooms are provided on

demand for cabin crews. With discount rates in the range of 40 per cent and 50 per cent,

this represents a low-yield segment for hotels in general.


7/51

DEMAND & SUPPLY SCENARIO

International Tourist Traffic

Main reason for this increase in business traffic to India has been followingfundamental factors:

Indias strong GDP growth.

Opening of sectors of the economy to private sector/foreign investment.

Strengthening of ties with developed world.

Reforms in aviation sector which led to better connectivity with many countries(such as

ASEAN) and created additional capacity on existing routes (for e.g. USA, Middle East).

Also, introduction of low cost airlines also contributed to the demand. The increase in

international flights, seat capacity and frequency into the country and the decision to

allow private airlines like Jet Airways and Air Sahara to fly overseas has had a positive

impact on tourist and business arrivals into India, by way of providing additional seats to

key destinations.

Development of infrastructure by the Government

Indias emergence as an outsourcing hub

Success of Incredible India campaign and other tourism promotion measures.

Indias growing recognition as an exciting place to visit (The Readers Travel

Awards 2006, conducted by Cond Nast Traveller has recently placed India at

number four among the worlds must-see countries, up from number nine in 2003)

has helped boost its image as a leisure destination.

Supply scenario

According to estimates by HVS International, around 10,856 hotel rooms in Delhi, 9,318

rooms in Mumbai, 7,794 rooms in Bangalore and 7,408 rooms in Hyderabad are

expected to be added by 2011.

9/51

POLICIES & INITIATIVES

Tourism being a concurrent subject under the Indian constitution, both the central and

state governments regulates the hotel industry. The regulations include statutory and

regulatory sanctions (or approvals and licenses) from the Central and State departmentsor agencies. This includes license to operate a restaurant, a hotel license (issued by

municipal authorities), license from police (issued by local police) and a bar license

(issued by excise department).

Tourism Policy

In order to develop tourism in India in a systematic manner, position it as a major engine

of economic growth and to harness its direct and multiplier effects for employment and

poverty eradication in an environmentally sustainable manner, the National Tourism

Policy was formulated in the year 2002. Broadly, the Policy attempts to:

Position tourism as a major engine of economic growth

Harness the direct and multiplier effects of tourism for employment generation,

economic development and providing impetus to rural tourism

Focus on domestic tourism as a major driver of tourism growth

Position India as a global brand to take advantage of the burgeoning global travel

trade and the vast untapped potential of India as a destination

Acknowledges the critical role of private sector with government working as a

pro-active facilitator and catalyst

Create and develop integrated tourism circuits based on Indias unique

civilization, heritage, and culture in partnership with States, private sector and

other agencies

Ensure that the tourist to India gets physically invigorated, mentally rejuvenated,

culturally enriched, spiritually elevated and feel India from within.

The Governments major policy initiatives include: Liberalization in aviation


10/51

sector.

Pricing policy for aviation turbine fuel which influences internal air fares

Rationalization in tax rates in the hospitality sector

Tourist friendly visa regime

Immigration services

Procedural changes in making available land for construction of hotels

Allowing setting up of Guest Houses

The Indian Ministry of Tourism has identified 31 villages across the country to be

developed as tourism hubs. The states in which these villages have been identified

include Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Bihar, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh,

Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Assam, Sikkim, Rajasthan and West

Bengal.

Governments Open Skies Policy

The Governments Open Skies policy, permission for domestic airlines to commence

international flights, start-up of various low-cost carriers, and fleet expansion by

domestic players has created a huge incentive for domestic travelers to explore far-off

destinations within and outside India. The booming aviation business is bringing an ever-

increasing number of passengers to India, and pulling Indians out of their homes and

into hotels.

Foreign Trade Policy

The Foreign Trade Policy announced in April, 2006, offered following incentives to the

hospitality industry:

Hotels and Restaurants are allowed to import duty free equipment and other items

including liquor, against their foreign exchange earnings under the Served from India

Scheme. As in previous years, this entitlement is 5per cent of previous years foreign


11/51

exchange earnings for hotels of one-star and above (including managed hotels and

heritage hotels) approved by the Department of Tourism and other service providers in

the tourism sector registered with it. The stand-alone restaurants will be entitled to duty

credit equivalent to 10per cent of the foreign exchange earned by them in the precedingfinancial year (instead of the earlier 20per cent).

Service exports in Indian Rupees, which are otherwise considered as having been paid

for in free foreign exchange by RBI, will now qualify for benefits under the Served from

India Scheme. Also, foreign exchange earned through International Credit Cards and

other instruments as permitted by RBI for rendering of service by the service providers

shall be considered for the purposes of computation of entitlement under the Scheme.


12/51

Benefits of the Scheme earned by one service provider of a Group company can now be

utilised by other service providers of the same Group Company including managed

hotels. The measure aims at supporting the Group service companies not earning foreign

exchange in getting access to the international quality products at competitive price andproviding services of international standards. This new initiative allows transfer of both

the script and the imported input to the Group Service Company. The earlier provision

allowed transfer of imported material only.

FDI in Hotel and Tourism Sector

100 per cent FDI is permissible in the sector on the automatic route. The term hotels

include restaurants, beach resorts, and other tourist complexes providing

accommodation and/or catering and food facilities to tourists. Tourism related industry

include travel agencies, tour operating agencies and tourist transport operating agencies,

units providing facilities for cultural, adventure and wild life experience to tourists,

surface, air and water transport facilities to tourists, leisure, entertainment, amusement,

sports, and health units for tourists and Convention/Seminar units and organizations.

Other Government Initiatives

Government has undertaken following initiatives to attract both inbound and outbound

tourists:

Incredible India: Under this program the Government promotes India through

various integrated marketing programs.

Atithie devo bhava (guests are equal to god) : Under this program the

Government create awareness among Indian people who come in contact with the

tourist.

Various Infrastructure building initiatives

Encourage religious tourism for instance promote various places in India as

Buddhist abodes.


13/51

Other projects are the Rs. 5,400 million National Highways Development

Project, the 5,846 km Golden Quadrilateral and the 7,300 km north-south and east-

west corridors. Sagarmala project which intends to create a network of seaports,

which will change the way people discover and experience real India.


14/51

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES

Opportunities in the Sector

Considering Indias size and unparalleled diversity - natural, geographic, cultural and

artistic, there is vast room for growth in tourism industry. As travelers surge into India,the demand for rooms, across segments, has skyrocketed.

The expected growth of the industry in future has provided its players with an

opportunity to invest in new technologies such as CRM tools and latest security systems,

and to venture into niche tourism segments like Medical, Religious, Cruise, Casinos,

MICE etc. India can also develop infrastructure to host international conferences and

trade shows, thus increasing its share of tourist traffic from such activities

Health tourism

India is gradually gathering popularity as a health tourist destination. The country needs

to exploit the cost advantage it can offer to a health tourist, the study said. The biggest

driver for healthcare tourism is the disparity in costs.

A heart surgery in the US costs USD 30,000 as compared to USD 6,000 in India.

A bone marrow transplant in the US costs USD 250,000 and USD 26,000 in India.

With yoga, meditation, ayurveda, allopathy, and other systems of medicine, India offers a

unique basket of services to an individual that is difficult to match by other countries.

Clinical outcomes in India are at par with the world's best centres since India has

internationally qualified and experienced specialists.

Critical Success Factors

The key success factors for the Hotel Industry are mentioned as follows:

Site and Location

This can be considered the most critical factor in determining the success of a hotel

property. In addition to identifying a city, the site location within the city also assumes

significance and issues like distance from the Central Business District (for metro hotels)


15/51

and connectivity (access to roads, proximity to airports) assume importance.

Positioning

Equally important is the positioning of the hotel according to the target guest segment.For example, business hotels set up to cater to the high yielding corporate clientele in

metro cities would have a distinct competitive advantage over facilities targeted towards

leisure travellers in the same city for attracting business travelers.

Financial Flexibility

Development of hotels is a highly capital intensive activity and new hotel properties,

typically, have a high break-even point. Therefore, financial flexibility is essential,

especially during early years of operations.

Brand Equity

Branded hotels can be further classified into chain hotels and independent hotels. Chain

hotels would typically be affiliated to one of the large national or international hotel

chains. Association with a hotel chains allows the property to be branded with one of the

chain brands. In such cases the property benefits from the equity of the chain brand and

promotion and advertising efforts made by the chain no only in India but also overseas.

This way the property is able to attract tourists from areas where a independent hotels

may not be able to reach effectively.

Challenges

Indias poor domestic tourism infrastructure is leading to a threat of losing foreign

tourists to other competing countries. India is highly prone to prevailing socio-economic

and political conditions. Like terrorist strikes, riots, epidemics, political uncertainty,

slowdown in reforms etc. The growth in the Indian tourism sector is accompanied by the

imminent destruction of local ecology and an increase in pollution, which, in the long

run, is going to negatively impact the tourism industry of India.


16/51

The biggest challenge in the Indian tourism sector is that of entry of new players, the

countrys growing economy has attracted a host of new players, the number of which is

expected to increase further. Aman Resorts, Shangri-la Hotels, Four Seasons Hotels and

The Hilton group are some of the international players that are at various stages ofestablishing presence in India. As the number of player increases, the competitive

intensity in the sector is likely to increase. Remarkably, unlike earlier, many new

entrants are reportedly considering entry into the mid-market segment, which is currently

dominated by non-chain properties.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH APPLIED IN THE PROJECT

The research applied in the project is descriptive research as the major objective of

research is to describe the comparative study of various hotels in Bareilly.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

The major objective of descriptive research is to describe something ---- usually market

Characteristics or functions .Descriptive research is conducted for the following reasons:

1. To describe the characteristics of relevant groups, such as consumer, salespeople

organizations, or market areas.

2. To estimate the percentage of units in a specified population exhibiting a certain

behavior

3. To determine the perception of products characteristics.

4. To determine the degree to which marketing variables are associated.

5. To make specific predictions.

Descriptive research is preplanned and structured. It is typically based on large

representative samples. a formal research design specifies the method for selecting the


33/51

Sources of information and for collecting data from those sources. A descriptive design

requires a clear specification of the who, what, when, where, why, and way of the

research.

SAMPLE ELEMENT

An element is the object about which or from which the information is Desired .The sample

element for this project are the consumers in Bareilly.

34/51

INSTRUMENT DECISION

A structured Questionnaire supported by personal interviewshas been used to collect

primary data in this project.

DATA COLLECTION

The data which is collected in this project is primary and the report is based more on

primary data but secondary data is also used in it and the sample size is 50

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION:

The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research

plan chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the

study the researcher should keep in mind two types of data via: primary and secondary.

The primary data are those which are collected afresh and for first time , and thus

happens to be original in character, the secondary data , on the other hand , are those

which have already been passed through statistical procedure.

DATA USED

Data used in the project is basically primary data. But at some places secondary data has

been used to support the study.


35/51

COLLECTION OF PRIMARY DATA

We collect primary data during the course of doing experiments in an experimental

research but in case we do research of the descriptive type and perform surveys , whether

sample surveys or census surveys , then we can obtain primary data either through

observation or direct communication with the respondents in one form or another or

through personal interviews . This in other words , mean that there are several methods of

collecting primary data, particularly in surveys and descriptive researches. Important ones

are

Observation method

Interview method

Questionnaires

In this project the source of primary data collection is Observation method, Personal

Interview method and Through questionnaires. This has further helped me in the study

while giving recommendations and establishing the co-relations in the project.

COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA

Secondary data means that are already available i.e .They refer to the data which gave

already been collected and analyzed by someone else. The collection of secondary data

has been done by various publications, books, magazines, journals, newspaper and


36/51

internet. By way of caution, the researcher , before using data, must see that they possess

following characteristics

Reliability of data

CONCLUSION

As a hospitality executive, can you afford to ignore the strategic possibilities of

Intelligent Communications for your business? As we have shown, Intelligent

Communications enables a myriad of competitive advantages that span revenue growth,

cost efficiencies and brand differentiation.

Though one may be tempted to think Intelligent Communications capabilities have

existed for years through technologies such as computer-telephony integration (CTI), the

reality is that recent technology developments such as IP Telephony, web services and

service-oriented architectures bring Intelligent Communications to a higher and more

practical level. Now, not only are truly innovative communications solutions affordable

and repeatable, but they can be more effectively integrated directly into critical processes,

giving your firm a true competitive advantage.

Who will be the leaders in the hospitality industry that capitalize fully on the

revolutionary capabilities of Intelligent Communications? Many hospitality companies

are doing the groundwork through adoption of IP Telephony on cost-improvement

grounds, but the possibilities from there for real, differentiating improvements - such as

guest service, staff responsiveness and operational efficiency - are nearly endless.
