Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital. The luxurious and recently-renovated Beijing Hotel said it had received nearly 100 telephone inquiries from people wanting to book rooms during the Games since Beijing won its bid to host the event. "Out of these people, foreigners make up 30 to 40 per cent, including people calling from the United States and Europe," a hotel sales manager surnamed Song said.Minutes before the decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was announced in Moscow, the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would be game-goers gambling on the result. Domestic callers have mainly come from the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian. Song said the hotel was not taking reservations, but only noting down names of callers, because seven years was too far in advance. The hotel also may be used by the IOC and would then need to set aside rooms for IOC members, he said.Beijing will have more than 800 hotels with star ratings before the Olympic Games in 2008. The city currently has 20 five-star hotels, 34 four-star hotels and 338 other hotels with lower ratings. About 70 hotels will be designated to accommodate athletes and Olympic officials during the Games.In the first paragraph, which of the following is the most possible reason for many people to book rooms in top hotels in Beijing?A．The 2008 Olympic Games will be hold there.B．More foreigners want to come to China.C．People from the United States and Europe are eager to visit China.D．Those hotels can offer good service.
What is this report mainly about?A．Phone inquires about hotel bookings for the 2008 Olympic Games.B．Beijing Hotel is one of the most top hotels in the capital.C．Beijing will host the 2008 Olympic Games.D．Visitors from all over the world will come to China for the games.
2 Ramon Silva is a Spanish property developer, who has made a considerable fortune from the increasing numbers ofEuropeans looking to buy new homes and apartments in the coastal regions of Mediterranean Spain. His frequentcontact with property buyers has made him aware of their need for low cost hotel accommodation during the lengthyperiod between finding a property to buy and when they actually move into their new home. These would-be propertyowners are looking for inexpensive hotels in the same locations as tourists looking for cheap holiday accommodation.Closer investigation of the market for inexpensive or budget hotel accommodation has convinced Ramon of theopportunity to offer something really different to his potential customers. He has the advantage of having nopreconceived idea of what his chain of hotels might look like. The overall picture for the budget hotel industry is notencouraging with the industry suffering from low growth and consequent overcapacity. There are two distinct marketsegments in the budget hotel industry; firstly, no-star and one-star hotels, whose average price per room is between30 and 45 euros. Customers are simply attracted by the low price. The second segment is the service provided bytwo-star hotels with an average price of 100 euros a night. These more expensive hotels attract customers by offeringa better sleeping environment than the no-star and one-star hotels. Customers therefore have to choose between lowprices and getting a poor night’s sleep owing to noise and inferior beds or paying more for an untroubled night’s sleep.Ramon quickly deduced that a hotel chain that can offer a better price/quality combination could be a winner.The two-star hotels typically offer a full range of services including restaurants, bars and lounges, all of which arecostly to operate. The low price budget hotels offer simple overnight accommodation with cheaply furnished roomsand staffed by part-time receptionists. Ramon is convinced that considerable cost savings are available through betterroom design, construction and furniture and a more effective use of hotel staff. He feels that through offering hotelfranchises under the ‘La Familia Amable’ (‘The Friendly Family’) group name, he could recruit husband and wife teamsto own and operate them. The couples, with suitable training, could offer most of the services provided in a two-starhotel, and create a friendly, family atmosphere – hence the company name. He is sure he can offer the customer twostarhotel value at budget prices. He is confident that the value-for-money option he offers would need little marketingpromotion to launch it and achieve rapid growth.Required:(a) Provide Ramon with a brief report, using strategic models where appropriate, showing where his proposedhotel service can add value to the customer’s experience.
