Analysis
Situational Analysis
In an environment in which they cannot find
more impersonal competitors, our guests
need to know that they can develop a
relationship with the hotel that will ensure
efficiency, value for theirmoney and
reliability in supplying them with the
support they need, when they need it. The
Durban Resort operates in a city with a
very strong sense of community, and we
want to stay a part of that community.
Situational Analysis
(contd)
The countrys currency is weak and is not in
good standing and there is high crime rate
in the location. However Durban has good
infrastructure and advanced technology.
As well as this there are many sightseeing
spots and our hotel is located right on the
beach-front with an amazing view that is
satisfying for all of our customers.
Competitors Analysis
Our two main competitors are the Hilton Durban
and the Blue Waters Hotel. These two hotels
have similar goals to ours and a similar target
market. They are our main competitors and we
must strive to exceed them while maintaining a
positive relationship with our guests to keep our
customers and out-perform our competition.
Customers Analysis
Our hotels target customers are business
people and holiday makers. We need to
provide a fun, tourist-like environment for
holiday makers to enjoy, while maintaining
formal stature to support business peoples
asks and needs. Our holiday makers will be
after a fun and enjoyable experience full of
opportunities to go to the beach, relaxing by
the pool and partaking in fun activities.
Business people will expect work stations,
Wi-Fi and conference rooms for meetings.
