About the course
Hotels now compete not only with neighbouring properties, but with global chains, independent hotels, alternative accommodation and an ever-growing number of options visible through digital platforms. This workshop helps hotel leaders understand where they can compete most effectively, identify meaningful opportunities in their market and develop a sharper value proposition.
Participants leave with practical approaches for becoming more relevant, visible and difficult to substitute in the eyes of their target guests.
The course focuses on the hotel and accommodation market, exploring where the property should compete, which customers and opportunities to prioritise, and how to create and communicate a stronger competitive proposition.
