  • Task 7: Prepare Trade Fair

In week 19, your hotel will be presenting itself at a Trade Fair on Monday. Week 18 is holiday, so have your preparations ready by Friday the 29th. Check this page Trade Fair for more information. This is an important fair, one which will influence your success in the game. This offers you the opportunity to present your (new ideas on the) hotel and - very important - check out the competition. Be creative, and have a look at the pictures of Trade Fairs from other competitions. All team members must participate in the Trade Fair.
To make your appearance at the Trade Fair as useful as possible, your preparations on your Team file must be ready before acting on the Trade Fair. You can do small changes afterwards.

  • Task 7: Friday 27th February (year 02) - Day of Calculations

Analyze your results, your operational costs and the key performance indicators for your hotel. On this day, we focus on management calculations. The language of the "financials" is key in the hotel sector. Further, linking these to benchmarks is crucial to keep profitability. After receiving your first results (on year 01) you need to analyze them, in order to decide on how to run the hotel in the next year.
