What can you do?

In the game you have a number of possibilities to influence your hotel.

• The Team file which you have a private login link to. In this file you present your strategy and the links to your web site and social media. In this file you also do all your decisions and explanations.
• The social media, websites etc. (on the first page of your Team file there should be links to all your social media and website(s) used)
• Your Team finances spreadsheet: only accessible with your private link via your Team file, any hotel has its own. In this file each hotel can follow:
  • tab dashboard where you can find the most important elements per round is a dashboard
  • tab results where your hotel finds its results after each year, only after releasing by your coach.
• Other live actions of your team: sometimes required, like the Trade Fair but maybe also at your own initiative.

We know look at the explanations in the Team file, in which you explain extensively all your financial decisions each year.

Keep explanations and decisions secret!

Your hotels Team finances are private of course. All decisions in all years must be backed-up by explanations. You will do so in your Team file immediately underneath your decisions.
You need to explain very explicitly every year why you chose the decisions your team took. Example filled out:

Team File with explanations.

You fill out the decisions in numbers (euros) in your Team file, above the explanations. Make things smart, make calculations and refrain from general remarks like 'we think this is interesting 'a lower price bring more customers'. Give benchmarks and sources, real links. Be sure to calculate with the new price to prove that if the new, lower (or higher) price works out, this will rise the occupancy rate and so the revenues. In the end this will bring more profit because.... and calculate this.
All your team members can work in the same Team file all of the years (even at the same moment). All you do is saved automatically all the time in this document there is no save button :-). You can easily put links and pictures (just be sure that they are not too much mb's!) in the file, do so if it contributes to your explanations.

Keep in mind that it might look a bit different in your competition.

Team file empty explanations on the decisions taken.

Your hotels occupancy

The Team file is very important in every year because

• your occupancy (and profit) depend on your decisions but even more on your explanations! This will be judged by your coach.
• the mark at the end of all assignments, depends heavily on these explanations as well.

Your explanations show that you are really managing the hotel in a proper, well-thought over manner. Leaving this out just means filling out numbers and guessing and will for sure bring down your occupancy and result.
