The Hotel Simulation

Use your business skills to build a global hotel empire – a portfolio of properties around the world, in different hotel categories from De Luxe 5-star to Budget City Center – and compete for market share and profitability in this dynamic business game.

You will need to apply important hotel management metrics (REVPAR and GOPPAR) as you compete in this fast-moving business simulation exercise. How can you improve hotel occupancy and build profits as you promote and market your hotel properties ?

This exciting simulation allows you to test out your business ideas in the global hotel industry, to develop business strategies that build profits, and grow a sustainable empire – in our realistic, simulated hotel business world.

You take over as investor-manager of a dynamic hotel group, and compete against four other major players – virtual intelligent competitors. You have to quickly make decisions about where to invest across the world, which categories to invest in, how to promote and price the products, and build a sustainable business strategy to build your wealth.

This is a unique tool for high quality hotel management training programs worldwide.

The Competition – When you log in and participate, you will be challenged by four dynamic hotel operators, each with their own overall strategies. They are programmed to watch for your mistakes, and then take advantage of opportunities you may have missed. Read our Users Guide for more hints on how to understand and beat the competition.
