ANALYSIS OF HOTEL INDUSTRY
IN PORTER’S FIVE COMPETITIVE FORCES
SYNOPSIS
This presentation is going to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the
Hotel Industry on a global basis and to study the viability of a hotel project,
taking into account the five competitive forces of Michael Porter’s Model.
The main competitive forces and factors within those forces will determine
the feasibility and potential profitability in a hotel project. The two crucial
factors that enable hotels to differentiate themselves are good location for
relative target market and quality of service.
INTRODUCTION
 Industry can be defined as a group of companies producing products and
services that satisfy a need, function and use. Industry can be broadly defined
as a group of companies producing products and services that satisfy a need,
function and use. It can be narrowly defined as a group of companies
producing products and services which are close substitutes for each other.
Business strategy can be defined as an integrated set of acts aimed at
securing a sustainable competitive advantage over competitors. The Five
Competitive Forces of Industry will influence prices, costs and investment
(Porter, 1980). The feasibility and potential profitability of a hotel can be
determined by answering the following questions.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 Tourism in India is the largest service industry, with a contribution of 6.23%
to the national GDP and 8.78% of the total employment in India. Visiting
foreigners has reached a record 3.92 million and consequently International
Tourism receipts have also risen to US $ 5.7 billion. The World Travel and
Tourism Council (WTTC) have named India along with China as one of the
fastest growing tourism industries for the next 10 to 15 years. The Indian
hospitality sector is expected to show a healthy growth and according to the
Ministry of Tourism, the contribution of tourism to India's GDP is 5.9 per
cent as compared to worldwide average of 11 percent.

THE KEYS TO PROFITABILITY IN
THE INDUSTRY
 What are the main competitive forces and factors within those forces which
determine potential profitability in the industry? The Hotel Industry in most
metropolitan cities in the world is characterized by high capital costs and a high
proportion of fixed costs to total costs. The high capital costs require that from
the outset the project must be managed to achieve the most cost-effective use of
resources applied to construction, furnishing and equipment, pre-operational
expenses and finance. Hotels also been built to an optimum size, approximately
500 rooms, in order to benefit from the economies of scale. Hotels must also aim
to fill their rooms as profitably as possible, both through room occupancy levels
and the relative tariffs applied.
TWO KEY METRICS USED TO
ANALYZE THE HOTEL INDUSTRY ARE
AS FOLLOWS:
 Average occupancy: The average percentage of the times in a year when the
room is occupied. This number usually fluctuates as the hotel industry is highly
cyclical with high demand for rooms when tourist influx is high.
 Average room rate: Average rate charged per night per room. This number can
also fluctuate with demand.
FOUR OWNERSHIP MODELS IN
THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
 Full Ownership: This type of ownership warrants huge capital allocation and the owner
undertakes higher risk. It also gives the owner full control over pricing, operating expenses
and business decisions.
 Management Contract: Under this form, certain individuals called as operators run the
hotel and receive remuneration directly from the owner as a percentage of sales, around 2-3%,
and an incentive fee, around 8-9% of operating profit.
 Franchise: In this case, franchisors license their brands, thereby giving the hotel owner to
use the brand and reserve rooms. The franchisees need to comply with certain conditions and
standards stipulated by the franchisors and are subjected to checks. Franchisees pay fees in the
form of an initial fee plus a royalty.
 Lease and License: Here, the owner of the property leases it for a definite duration. The
lease rental is deducted from the gross revenue and a penalty is imposed if the agreement is
not adhered to. Also, the licensor earns revenue in the form of a license fee and the revenue
earned is given to the operator.

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL WITH
RESPECT TO HOTEL INDUSTRY
NEW ENTRANTS
 The hotels & motels industry is strongly influenced by travel and tourism trends.
It is possible to enter the industry in a relatively low-key way by opening a
small, independent hotel or motel as a sole proprietor. However, the industry is
capital intensive, and for a large-scale entrance, upfront investment in buildings,
décor and furnishings, ICT infrastructure and staff is expensive. To sustain
revenue growth in the premium market, operating a chain of hotels is often an
important strategy as it reduces dependence on tourism in any particular
location. Regulations in terms of real estate and buying abroad need to be taken
into consideration and can therefore be restrictive in some countries. The
purchase, leasing, and management of property may involve legal and financial
complexities, necessitating spending on professional services. Overall, the
likelihood of new entrants is moderate.
Analysisofhotelindustryinportersfivecompetitiveforces 140915041906-phpapp01
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES
 Porter indicated that substitute products can be existing or potential products and services
which are able to perform the same function. Substitute products can reduce costs, and/or
provide better quality performance and better value which very often the result of
technological innovation.
 The Hotel Industry in all major cities is not threatened by substitute products except that in
times of recession domestic travel might replace international or overseas travel and certain
destinationsreplace more expensiveones on cost grounds.
 A hotel operator in anywhere can compete on a low cost basis in a niche segment. It can also
compete on the basis of a modern, comfortable but not luxurious hotel situated in a popular
and convenient location.
 There is no major threat of substitute products specific to a hotel’s product and service. A hotel
will be subject to powerful buyers only if its marketing strategy concentrates on attracting tour
groups, provided no oversupply for the hotel’s target market develops.A hotel may not appear
to be particularly vulnerable to intense rivalry because of the fragmented nature of the
competition in its strategicgroup and the potential growth rate of its target market.
Analysisofhotelindustryinportersfivecompetitiveforces 140915041906-phpapp01
SUPPLIER POWER
 Suppliers in this industry are defined as property owners, developers and real
estate companies, interior design and furnishing companies, architects,
management and training service providers, marketing companies, industry
consultants, and information and computer technology (ICT) manufacturers. Real
estate companies are often much smaller companies than hotel and motel
operators and rather than being globalized, they are usually local to the property
they develop, which reduces their financial muscle and ability to negotiate
favorable contracts. Furthermore, hotels can integrate backwards and operate
their own real estate business. The quality and availability of supplier services
and equipment is essential to the hotel and motel industry. The industry is also
labor intensive. Staff costs are significant as success in the hotel industry is
strongly influenced by the quality of the service provided. Supplier power is
assessed as moderate overall.
Analysisofhotelindustryinportersfivecompetitiveforces 140915041906-phpapp01
BUYER POWER
 Unlike its international counterparts, the Indian industry was not affected by a
decline recently and so may emerge from the global recession period stronger.
Within the hotels and motels industry, where switching costs are rather
negligible and competing on price alone is no longer a key to success, brand
recognition and innovation helps to attract first-time customers and also
repeat business. Due to a high reliance on sophisticated technology and
systems and the growing importance of mobile communication channels,
some suppliers may exert strong supplier power.
Analysisofhotelindustryinportersfivecompetitiveforces 140915041906-phpapp01
RIVALRY
 There are also a large number of independent players present in the industry
apart from the existing houses. Larger number of players means increased
competition. Many larger operators have diversified to some extent and own
additional businesses, such as casinos, restaurants and shops. To attract and
sustain more business, operators try to offer more and more complex packages
and value-added services, such as free breakfast and parking, free third night,
etc. A recent trend among major hotel chains is lifestyle hotels whic cater to the
conscientious traveler's demands for eco-friendly practices, social responsibility,
and affordable style. The largest hotel and motel operators are fairly well
insulated from unpredictable market conditions by geographical diversification.
However, others are based largely or exclusively in one country.
Analysisofhotelindustryinportersfivecompetitiveforces 140915041906-phpapp01
HOTEL’S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
AND COMPETITIVE POSITION
 Competition in the Hotel Industry anywhere in the world is intense within strategic groups subject to the level of
industry growth. Industry growth in major cities, capitals or financial centers is high at present partly due to the
travelers from tourist groups, business and independent leisure travelers, resulting in low levels of jockeying.
Competitive position involves Cost and Differentiation. There are no switching costs, which could increase
potential jockeying. Product differentiation can be high ranging from budget hotels to deluxe hotels. Hotel
operators wish to exploit to establish customer loyalty, image and differentiation. Fixed costs are high in the
industry and consequently high room occupancy rates are critical. Competition would, therefore, be very fierce in
a situation of oversupply of hotel rooms. Capacity is augmented in large increments in recent years due to some
major international events such as Olympia Games, Expo or World Cup. Competitors’ reaction is expected to be
fragmented, haphazard and insignificant, especially as the common market is forecast to be one of the more
buoyant segments among total arrivals in the coming future. The key issue remains that whether there are any
further sites in the immediate vicinity of any big cities which may be purchased by other business groups
commanding similar capital resources to any hotel operator which will pose significant potential future
competition.
OTHER MAJOR INCOME
STREAMS FOR HOTEL
OPERATORS
 Food and Beverage - It attracts considerate non-hotel resident business
including banquet facilities. By world standards, F&B income is a very large
component of the total hotel income in the Hotel Industry as a whole.
 Exhibitions and Conventions - It can provide steady rental and service income
for any hotel.
 Entertainment - Cinemas, Concerts and Business Function Room Facilities are
likely to receive heavy patronage.
 Commercial and Shopping Complex - The shopping space with retail shops
selling luxury merchandises can provide recurrent rental income.
 Neon-Signage - It can be planned which will further diversify income.
 Car-parking Service – It also can be another major income source.
HOTEL’S BUSINESS STRATEGY
 If jockeying for position in a higher strategic group became more intense in a
position of oversupply, hotels might be diverted to another segment of the
market, forcing hotels to cut margins unless it has established sufficient
differentiation to maintain its own position within its strategic group.
 The Hotel Industry in any major cities in the world contains very high exit
barriers. Once in, it is very difficult to get out. There is considerable diversity in
the strategy and aims of companies owning hotels.
 There is considerable diversity in the strategy and aims of companies owning
hotels.
 The corporate structure of the company holding the hotel can be designed from
the tax planning angle with a view to being able to sell this development at much
reduced rates of stamp duty and legal expenses.
CONCLUSION
 The two crucial factors that enable hotels to differentiate themselves:
 1. Good location for relative target market, and
 2. Quality of service.
 The Hotel Industry can provide considerable opportunity to cross-sell profitable
products such as Food and Beverage, Entertainment or Exhibitions and Conventions
services.
 Tariffs are then determined according to the level of differentiation achieved through
location, management, staff and guest ratios and any other miscellaneous factors such
as quality of architecture, decoration, furnitureand fittings, layout or interior design.
 In the event of a downturn in the world’s economic cycle the hotel’s target market
should be more durable than the tourist market because of the different forces and
motives driving tourism.

  • 1. ANALYSIS OF HOTEL INDUSTRY IN PORTER’S FIVE COMPETITIVE FORCES
  • 2. SYNOPSIS This presentation is going to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Hotel Industry on a global basis and to study the viability of a hotel project, taking into account the five competitive forces of Michael Porter’s Model. The main competitive forces and factors within those forces will determine the feasibility and potential profitability in a hotel project. The two crucial factors that enable hotels to differentiate themselves are good location for relative target market and quality of service.
  • 3. INTRODUCTION  Industry can be defined as a group of companies producing products and services that satisfy a need, function and use. Industry can be broadly defined as a group of companies producing products and services that satisfy a need, function and use. It can be narrowly defined as a group of companies producing products and services which are close substitutes for each other. Business strategy can be defined as an integrated set of acts aimed at securing a sustainable competitive advantage over competitors. The Five Competitive Forces of Industry will influence prices, costs and investment (Porter, 1980). The feasibility and potential profitability of a hotel can be determined by answering the following questions.
  • 4. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW  Tourism in India is the largest service industry, with a contribution of 6.23% to the national GDP and 8.78% of the total employment in India. Visiting foreigners has reached a record 3.92 million and consequently International Tourism receipts have also risen to US $ 5.7 billion. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) have named India along with China as one of the fastest growing tourism industries for the next 10 to 15 years. The Indian hospitality sector is expected to show a healthy growth and according to the Ministry of Tourism, the contribution of tourism to India's GDP is 5.9 per cent as compared to worldwide average of 11 percent.
  • 6. ADR = Average Daily Rate; Rev PAR = Revenue per available room = Average Daily Rate*Occupancy
  • 7. THE KEYS TO PROFITABILITY IN THE INDUSTRY  What are the main competitive forces and factors within those forces which determine potential profitability in the industry? The Hotel Industry in most metropolitan cities in the world is characterized by high capital costs and a high proportion of fixed costs to total costs. The high capital costs require that from the outset the project must be managed to achieve the most cost-effective use of resources applied to construction, furnishing and equipment, pre-operational expenses and finance. Hotels also been built to an optimum size, approximately 500 rooms, in order to benefit from the economies of scale. Hotels must also aim to fill their rooms as profitably as possible, both through room occupancy levels and the relative tariffs applied.
  • 8. TWO KEY METRICS USED TO ANALYZE THE HOTEL INDUSTRY ARE AS FOLLOWS:  Average occupancy: The average percentage of the times in a year when the room is occupied. This number usually fluctuates as the hotel industry is highly cyclical with high demand for rooms when tourist influx is high.  Average room rate: Average rate charged per night per room. This number can also fluctuate with demand.
  • 9. FOUR OWNERSHIP MODELS IN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY  Full Ownership: This type of ownership warrants huge capital allocation and the owner undertakes higher risk. It also gives the owner full control over pricing, operating expenses and business decisions.  Management Contract: Under this form, certain individuals called as operators run the hotel and receive remuneration directly from the owner as a percentage of sales, around 2-3%, and an incentive fee, around 8-9% of operating profit.  Franchise: In this case, franchisors license their brands, thereby giving the hotel owner to use the brand and reserve rooms. The franchisees need to comply with certain conditions and standards stipulated by the franchisors and are subjected to checks. Franchisees pay fees in the form of an initial fee plus a royalty.  Lease and License: Here, the owner of the property leases it for a definite duration. The lease rental is deducted from the gross revenue and a penalty is imposed if the agreement is not adhered to. Also, the licensor earns revenue in the form of a license fee and the revenue earned is given to the operator.
  • 10. INTENSITY OF COMPETITIVE RIVALRY - Number of Competitors - Ratio demand/ capacity - Industry profitability - Personality of CEO THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS - International competitors entering new attractive domestic market. - Emergence of new entrepreneurial players. BARGAINING POWER OF CUSTOMERS - Dependency on key accounts and intermediates who provide volume business and negotiate lower prices. THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS - Changes in technology which after demand for accommodation - Video-conferencing BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS - Availability of skilled employers and management. - Availability of finance for hospitality projects - Competitiveness of: -Food & beverage suppliers - Energy & utilities - Ancillary Services PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL WITH RESPECT TO HOTEL INDUSTRY
  • 11. NEW ENTRANTS  The hotels & motels industry is strongly influenced by travel and tourism trends. It is possible to enter the industry in a relatively low-key way by opening a small, independent hotel or motel as a sole proprietor. However, the industry is capital intensive, and for a large-scale entrance, upfront investment in buildings, décor and furnishings, ICT infrastructure and staff is expensive. To sustain revenue growth in the premium market, operating a chain of hotels is often an important strategy as it reduces dependence on tourism in any particular location. Regulations in terms of real estate and buying abroad need to be taken into consideration and can therefore be restrictive in some countries. The purchase, leasing, and management of property may involve legal and financial complexities, necessitating spending on professional services. Overall, the likelihood of new entrants is moderate.
  • 13. THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES  Porter indicated that substitute products can be existing or potential products and services which are able to perform the same function. Substitute products can reduce costs, and/or provide better quality performance and better value which very often the result of technological innovation.  The Hotel Industry in all major cities is not threatened by substitute products except that in times of recession domestic travel might replace international or overseas travel and certain destinationsreplace more expensiveones on cost grounds.  A hotel operator in anywhere can compete on a low cost basis in a niche segment. It can also compete on the basis of a modern, comfortable but not luxurious hotel situated in a popular and convenient location.  There is no major threat of substitute products specific to a hotel’s product and service. A hotel will be subject to powerful buyers only if its marketing strategy concentrates on attracting tour groups, provided no oversupply for the hotel’s target market develops.A hotel may not appear to be particularly vulnerable to intense rivalry because of the fragmented nature of the competition in its strategicgroup and the potential growth rate of its target market.
  • 15. SUPPLIER POWER  Suppliers in this industry are defined as property owners, developers and real estate companies, interior design and furnishing companies, architects, management and training service providers, marketing companies, industry consultants, and information and computer technology (ICT) manufacturers. Real estate companies are often much smaller companies than hotel and motel operators and rather than being globalized, they are usually local to the property they develop, which reduces their financial muscle and ability to negotiate favorable contracts. Furthermore, hotels can integrate backwards and operate their own real estate business. The quality and availability of supplier services and equipment is essential to the hotel and motel industry. The industry is also labor intensive. Staff costs are significant as success in the hotel industry is strongly influenced by the quality of the service provided. Supplier power is assessed as moderate overall.
  • 17. BUYER POWER  Unlike its international counterparts, the Indian industry was not affected by a decline recently and so may emerge from the global recession period stronger. Within the hotels and motels industry, where switching costs are rather negligible and competing on price alone is no longer a key to success, brand recognition and innovation helps to attract first-time customers and also repeat business. Due to a high reliance on sophisticated technology and systems and the growing importance of mobile communication channels, some suppliers may exert strong supplier power.
  • 19. RIVALRY  There are also a large number of independent players present in the industry apart from the existing houses. Larger number of players means increased competition. Many larger operators have diversified to some extent and own additional businesses, such as casinos, restaurants and shops. To attract and sustain more business, operators try to offer more and more complex packages and value-added services, such as free breakfast and parking, free third night, etc. A recent trend among major hotel chains is lifestyle hotels whic cater to the conscientious traveler's demands for eco-friendly practices, social responsibility, and affordable style. The largest hotel and motel operators are fairly well insulated from unpredictable market conditions by geographical diversification. However, others are based largely or exclusively in one country.
  • 21. HOTEL’S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND COMPETITIVE POSITION  Competition in the Hotel Industry anywhere in the world is intense within strategic groups subject to the level of industry growth. Industry growth in major cities, capitals or financial centers is high at present partly due to the travelers from tourist groups, business and independent leisure travelers, resulting in low levels of jockeying. Competitive position involves Cost and Differentiation. There are no switching costs, which could increase potential jockeying. Product differentiation can be high ranging from budget hotels to deluxe hotels. Hotel operators wish to exploit to establish customer loyalty, image and differentiation. Fixed costs are high in the industry and consequently high room occupancy rates are critical. Competition would, therefore, be very fierce in a situation of oversupply of hotel rooms. Capacity is augmented in large increments in recent years due to some major international events such as Olympia Games, Expo or World Cup. Competitors’ reaction is expected to be fragmented, haphazard and insignificant, especially as the common market is forecast to be one of the more buoyant segments among total arrivals in the coming future. The key issue remains that whether there are any further sites in the immediate vicinity of any big cities which may be purchased by other business groups commanding similar capital resources to any hotel operator which will pose significant potential future competition.
  • 22. OTHER MAJOR INCOME STREAMS FOR HOTEL OPERATORS  Food and Beverage - It attracts considerate non-hotel resident business including banquet facilities. By world standards, F&B income is a very large component of the total hotel income in the Hotel Industry as a whole.  Exhibitions and Conventions - It can provide steady rental and service income for any hotel.  Entertainment - Cinemas, Concerts and Business Function Room Facilities are likely to receive heavy patronage.  Commercial and Shopping Complex - The shopping space with retail shops selling luxury merchandises can provide recurrent rental income.  Neon-Signage - It can be planned which will further diversify income.  Car-parking Service – It also can be another major income source.
  • 23. HOTEL’S BUSINESS STRATEGY  If jockeying for position in a higher strategic group became more intense in a position of oversupply, hotels might be diverted to another segment of the market, forcing hotels to cut margins unless it has established sufficient differentiation to maintain its own position within its strategic group.  The Hotel Industry in any major cities in the world contains very high exit barriers. Once in, it is very difficult to get out. There is considerable diversity in the strategy and aims of companies owning hotels.  There is considerable diversity in the strategy and aims of companies owning hotels.  The corporate structure of the company holding the hotel can be designed from the tax planning angle with a view to being able to sell this development at much reduced rates of stamp duty and legal expenses.
  • 24. CONCLUSION  The two crucial factors that enable hotels to differentiate themselves:  1. Good location for relative target market, and  2. Quality of service.  The Hotel Industry can provide considerable opportunity to cross-sell profitable products such as Food and Beverage, Entertainment or Exhibitions and Conventions services.  Tariffs are then determined according to the level of differentiation achieved through location, management, staff and guest ratios and any other miscellaneous factors such as quality of architecture, decoration, furnitureand fittings, layout or interior design.  In the event of a downturn in the world’s economic cycle the hotel’s target market should be more durable than the tourist market because of the different forces and motives driving tourism.
