Stuck writing an accommodation business plan, and wondering where to go next? The business plan for an accommodation company, whether it's a luxury hotel or simple a roadside motor inn, should give the financial backers the sense that this is an encouraging venture with a decent shot at long-term returns. If you've already got a property under management, a company history section and a past performance table showing your financials to date can help the presentation along. If not, no worries; but you will need to show a detailed start-up summary that demonstrates that you know how the seed capital should be spread around, by category. Also, you'll have to show:
• The major competing accommodations in your target region
• The secondary threats you'll encounter
• Your competitive advantages
• The marketing strategy you will employ
• The personnel plan for the hotel/motel
The business plan for accommodations should also delve into the advertising plan for the business. Will your name appear in travel magazines, or on the Internet, or in the listings put out by the local Chamber of Commerce? Think about where the marketing budget is best spent, and give a description of those techniques. Also don't neglect basics like how many rooms there are available, what the prevailing rates are per night, and other things like amenities, licenses and fees you'll need, and so forth. These are as important as an airtight financial model and need to be part of the overall picture for an accommodations plan. Want help with this document?
