Page | 1 India currently has over 200,000 hotel rooms spread across hotel categories and guesthouses and is still facing a shortfall of over 100,000 rooms (Source: FHRAI). The country is witnessing an unprecedented growth in hotel constructions and will be adding almost 114,000 hotel guest rooms to its inventory over the next five years. (Source: HVS) Hospitality Industry is showing positive growth hence the Market Competitiveness is also at its peak. Competitiveness refers to - the ability and willingness to compete and two most important underlying criteria of competitiveness are - Profitability and Productivity, that is, increased competitiveness is reflected in sustained growth in productivity and profitability. Since productivity and profitability are vital for all organizations, industries, sectors and nations, it indicates that the concept of competitiveness is equally applicable to each of these entities, so it is a must that they appreciate the conceptual framework of competitiveness and the various forms that it takes, (commercial competitiveness, market competitiveness etc.) along with the fact that it is a complex on-going process affected by a range of factors / inputs. The trends that are dominating Hospitality Industry are: Globalization Partnership Marketing Niche Marketing & Branding Technology Environmental Awareness Guest Preference Relationship Marketing

When we plan a Marketing Strategy for this highly competitive market then three significant trends play the key role: Information key to servicing the demanding customer: The modern traveller wants to have experiences built around their personal needs. The hotel industry recognises that it must go further in its adoption of social networking. User reviews expose the truth of a hotel's brand since customers often use their peer group as the main source of information. Hotels are now challenged with maintaining high standards and meeting the expectations of customers who have done a significant amount of research before they travel. The more demanding customer of the future will want to engage with a hotel across all touch points where appropriate. Hotels will

need to capture and store more data, yet access to it must be faster and more targeted in order to personalise the guest experience. Opportunities for growth into new markets: The country has been flooded by some of the world's leading hotel brands. New brands such as Amanda, Satinwoods, Banana Tree, Hampton Inns, Scandium by Hilt and Mandarin Oriental are planningPage | 2 to enter the Indian hospitality industry in joint ventures with domestic hotel majors.

Technological integration to improve operational efficiency: As distribution, channel and content management becomes more complex, ensuring tight integration between these cores systems will become an even higher priority for hotels. Applications, databases and networks must integrate more easily with each other and third-party systems to facilitate collaborations with partners. The growing importance of the mobile channel is clear. Although the use of smaller devices for booking is not yet commonplace, it is anticipated the technology platforms used by hospitality companies must support and enable all user interactions to integrate in the future, from phone to fax to PC to PDA to mobile.

Benefits of Mystery Shopping Service: Competitive Edge: Faced with a situation where your service isn't greatly different from that of your competitors and you don't want to risk a price war which lowers your profitability, it is worth looking at ways in which you can make the quality of your customer service better than that of your competitors. The advantages are that quality in customer service doesn't always cost more and that it is often something which isn't easy for a competitor to copy. Quality of customer service tends to be more important to a customer than many other features of a product - even price. Indeed many profitable firms rely on their reputation for good customer service to sustain a price differential over their competitors. Measuring Gap: Managing the 'Gap' may include proactive customer relations, empowerment of local staff to take extraordinary action or fall back operational arrangements. But if the 'Gap' isn't monitored or measured it can't be managed. Mystery Shopping helps us to measure such gaps and make prepare for contingencies with proper planning. Customer service quality is intangible - and therefore tends to be difficult to measure. There are of course many well-known traps. Complaint and compliment rates can lead to a false sense of security, if nine out of ten dissatisfied customers don't complain. Delivery targets are important, but the quality of the experience (food, stay, value-added service, and ambience) may be even more important. Admiration from customers for your new waiting room is of little benefit if at your competitors' establishment they are never kept waiting.

right decision to make for your business before you commit your time and money into a project. Minimize Risk. Maximize Profit.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT: The process of business performance management (BPM) focuses on three activities. These activities include the selection of business goals, consolidating measurable information relevant to those goals, and the participation of management to assist in improving future performance. This process involves the gathering of large amounts of data. Commonly most organizations have difficulties taking the collected data and transforming it into useful information. Also many companies are trying to gather information from different sectors of their organization such as finance, inventory, forecasting, and human resources eliminating the need to use spreadsheet analysis.
