Question 3: A number of factors affecting the price sensitivity are discussed in this
chapter. Provide some examples of the application of this factors in the hospitality or
travel business.

ANSWER
There are two main factors considered when setting the price.
1. Internal factors
a. Marketing objectives: A hotel have their marketing objective is market
share. When they provide new spa services the price will be low in order to
attract customers. The price will become higher as the product becomes
more famous and more demanded by the target market. However, for the
existing products, hotels may use price decisions to ensure they retain
market share in instances where there are a lot of market competitors.
b. Marketing strategy: In a hotel. The marketer selling high-quality rooms
would be expected to price their rooms in a range that will add to the
perception of the room being at a high – level.
c. Costs: In restaurant A, costs to produce and deliver a dish to customers
(price for the material, chef, waiter…) is $50. And the price of this dish that
the guest pays must be above this costs (must be above $50). So the
restaurant can set the price of this dish is $100 (if they want to have $50
profit).
d. Organizational consideration: Hoa Mai hotel is one-star hotel. The hotel
has 15 rooms. And the owner of this hotel is Mr.Hoang, he doesn’t have any
housekeeper, all jobs to help the hotel work are done by him and his family
members. So the price of rooms in this hotel is set by him.
2. External factors
a. Nature of the market and demand: In 2008, the economic depression
happened and demand for tourism decreased. So the demand for hotel
service decreased too. The demand was more than supply. The owners of
the hotels had to set the low price to attract tourists and suit with tourist’s

payment ability.


b. Pricing in different markets: In the recent time, the number of tourists Xuân
Mai province increase rapidly. The demand of hotel is increasing. But there
is only one hotel in this area (pure monopoly market), this is Daisy hotel. So
they can set the price as they want (maybe it is really high).
c. Consumer perception of price and value: Restaurant A is considered the
finest restaurant in this area (it is an elegant restaurant). With the item: a
coffee and a slice of apple pie. It is charged $2 at a drugstore counter, $3 at
a family restaurant, $4 at a hotel coffee shop and $8 at restaurant A (because
A is an elegant restaurant and it is the finest restaurant in this area)
d. Analyzing the price demand relationship: Hotel A have done a research and
it shows that a 20% reduction in the price of a standard room increases
demand by 35 %. A 10% reduction in price increases by 23%. Whereas a
5% decrease results in a 15% increase in demand. The hotel thinks that
decrease 5% in the price of a standard room will get the most revenue for
them. So they decide to decrease 5% in price. And maybe after a short time,
they can reduce 5% in the price the second time.
e. Price elasticity of demand: After a marketing research, a travel agent finds
that if the price of a tour decreases by 10%, the demand for this tour will
rise by greater than 10%. From that research, the price elasticity of demand
is high, and the travel agent decides to decrease a little bit the price of the
tour to sell more tour.
f. Competitor’s price and offers: A travel agent intend to sell a tour. And now
in the market have 3 others travel agent sell the same tour. After a research,
the travel agent has known the price of this tour in the others is 1 million. So
the travel agent can’t set their price up to 2 million (with the same services
in this tour). They must set the price a little bit higher or lower than 1
million.

ASSIGNMENT 5
Question 2: Why do large hotels spend a major part of their promotional budget on
personal selling?
Question 3: Recently, a number of restaurants have shifted some their promotional
budget from advertising to public relation. What benefits does public relation offer
that would make the restaurants spend more.


ANSWER
Question 2: There are two main reasons that make the large hotels spend a major
part of their promotion buget.
The first, large hotels have a strong resource (financial) so they have ability to invest
much money of their promotional budget on personal selling.
The second, benefits and effectiveness of personal selling bring to the hotel is better
than others promotion tools. Personal selling is promotional presentation by the firm’s
sales force conducted on a person-to-person basis with the buuyer for the purpose of
making sales and building customer relationships. This is a direct form of promotion
may be conducted face-to-face, over the telephone, through videoconferencing, or
through interactive computer links between the buyer and seller. This direct contact

with the customer gives the salesperson the opportunity to be flexible and modify the
sales message to coincide with the customer’s needs. The salesperson can get
immediate feedback from the customer. From that personal selling builds personal
relationships, keeps the customers’ interests at heart to buil a long term relationships
and allows personal interactions with customers.
The third reason is because the cost of this tool is expensive promotion tool per
contact. So if the hotel choose this tool to promotion, they have to spend a major part
of their promotion budget on personal selling.
Question 3: There are five main benefits of public relation (PR). These are important
benefits that make the restaurants spend more budget promotion from advertising.
1. Credibility
Let’s face it– consumers today are more cautious when spending. That’s why having
credibility is so essential to a successful business. Because PR and advertising are very
different things, consumers are likely to give credibility to your business when they
see it mentioned in the media (uncompensated!) compared to when they see your ads
or billboards. Studies show that PR has 7 times more credibility among consumers
than advertising!
2. Target Market


With PR, it’s much easier to aim and fire on that target market you are hoping to
reach. Media sources can place the information that is right up the consumers alley and
give them the required information they need. If you are an accountant hoping to
generate some new clientele, placing an ad in a teen magazine likely won’t help you.
But a well written article smack dab in the middle of the finance section will probably
lead you right where you want to be. These target markets are especially vital in
businesses that only appeal to a small target market.
3. Cost
While it’s true that PR can be costly if you hire the wrong firm, considering the cost of
other promotional advertising, it is on the cheap end of the scale. When you step back

and look at the cost of PR considering the possible leads when reaching the right
market, you’ll find that the cost is very beneficial.
4. Lead Generation
The media placement that you receive from PR is long lasting. You’ll likely have an
initial flood of leads, and then as time wheres on, you’ll notice that there is still the
possibility of lead generation from just one good media mention. As people and
businesses stumble on the PR, it will still be effective at generating leads (thus leading
back to our #3 point: cost).
5. Image
PR isn’t just promoting an item or a special. PR takes your entire business and puts it
in the lights. This helps create an image of your company and creates the possibility of
a more well rounded patronage. Effective PR leaves your company with a positive
image, which is always helpful in the future.
