Refining your strategy
It has been two years since you took over the hotel, and you have gained detailed insights into the market and increased management experience. While you did well overall, not all of the measures you have adopted have been successful, and some of your assumptions about the market were not accurate. This year, you need to make some adjustments and improve your entrepreneurial and intercultural skills in order to achieve your business goals.
Goal
