Trade fair
You will be organizing a Trade Fair on Thursday the 11th of April 15.30-17.00. A few important remarks.
Content
The Trade Fair is to be held in the room which is communicated to you. Think of it as a fair, like the ITB Berlin, WTM in London or Dutch Tourism Expo.
A number of decisions have to be made BEFORE then. You can make some small changes afterwards. But you have to start the Trade Fair with:
- a new name for your hotel, a slogan and a logo.
- a basic strategy for your hotel on target markets and target groups.
So have the preparations part on your teampage ready! You have to have the biggest part of your teampage ready before the fair. Of course you can do some changes afterwards.
Have a look at what your colleagues did so far:
The Trade Fair has five goals:
1. Presenting your new hotel
Who are the visitors? At this fair you will have to present your company to the press, to the general public, to your competitors and just anyone else visiting the fair.
2. Competition
The Fair is THE most important opportunity to have a look at the competition and/or pick up ideas. So split up your team and take notice of all your competitors. You need this information for your teampage!
3. Adjusting your strategy
Important is to get a good impression on the plans of all other teams, so you can adjust your strategy to this.
4. Creativity
As there is a Competition on creativity: you performance at the Trade Fair by presenting yourself in a consistent and creative way contributes to this creativity mark.
5. Competition analysis
The Trade Fair is one also contributing to your evaluation in the assignment you have to make on the fair. So, the Fair is a very important start of the game! So please work on a good plan for this.
Have a look at the pictures to see just what your colleagues have done before.
The coaches will be visiting the fair, as well as other staff. They will evaluate your performance and this will be the first thing of influence on your total mark for the game. Always keep your booth occupied, but have one (or two) checking out the competition and collecting information for your Strategic_Analysis!
