During week 19 + 20 you will have the next tasks

All the classes are useful and compulsory (and often fun, of course).

  • Task 7: Monday 9th. May (prologue) - Day of the Trade Fair

On this first day your team will demonstrate its creativity and thereby present the new hotel in a more promising strategic direction, as well as distinguishing your hotel from your competitors.

  • Task 8: Tuesday the 10th. May (year 1) - Day of Creativity

Analyze the results of the past, look at decisions to be made on prices and additional operational costs. Check benchmark and ratio's: "financial language" is key in the hotel sector. Keep a sharp eye on the profitability of your hotel and the consistency in your strategy.

Please check this video on how to make your decisions: as we are upgrading the platform there is a few small changes. You start with your Team file and explain your decisions there. In this Team file you will find the link to your Team finances where you just fill out the numbers. So a bit different from the sequence in the video. The operational review will be made for you by the algorithms, you just make the decisions. The coaches will release these results the next year-day.
