BARGAINING POWER OF SU PPLIERS The term suppliers comprises all sources for inputs that are needed in order to provide goods or services. The high class hotels are operational by few hotel chains care-TAJ, EIH, ITC & THE LEELA PALACE so they have a control over the industry. There are no substitutes for spas and five star hotels.The hotels customers are fragmented, so they have to reduce their bargaining power to attract the customers. The Taj, ITC& Oberoi are having various rates and tariffs, because they are having their own brand image. The hotel chains are operating different services like Spas, Boatels, Resorts, City C encrypts, Heritage HOTELS, etc. 2. BARGAINING POWER OF CUSTOMERS Similarly, the bargaining power of customers determines how much customers can impose pressure on margins and volumes. ? ? ? ? The hotel industry is one of the most invested in its fixed assets. So they are trying to recover their amount quickly.The suppliers are providing better information about them to attract t he customers. Here the buyers are highly informed. If the hotel price changes are moderate, the Customers have low margins and are pricesensitive. Some untried timings the hotels are offering discounts and incentives toreduce the bargaining power of buyers. 3. THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS The tilt in an industry will be the higher the easier it is for other companies to enter this industry. In such a situation, new entrants could change major determinants of the market environment (e. g. market shares, prices, customer loyalty) at any time.There is evermore a latent pressure for reaction and adjustment for existing players in this industry. Shruti Garg 2012H149223P 9Page ? ? ? The foreign hotel chains are tied up with Indian hotels to reduce the initial cost and using the latters brand name. carry loyalty of customers like TAJ, ITC, and LEELA PALACE affects the new entrants. assenting to raw materials and Distribution channels are controlled by Existing players like TAJ, ITC, and L EELA PALACE. The cost of land in India is high at 50% of total project cost as against 15% abroad. This acts as a major deterrent to the Indian hotel industry.In India the expenditure tax, luxury tax and sales tax inflate the hotel bill by over 30%. telling tax in the South East Asian countries works out to only 4-5%. 4. THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES A threat from substitutes exists if there are election products with lower prices of better performance parameters for the same purpose. They could potencyly attract a significant proportion of market volume and hence reduce the potential sales volume for existing players. This category also relates to complementary products. Brand loyalty of customers (TAJ, ITC, LEELA PALACE, etc,) is dominating the substitutes.The hotel relationship with customer and cost also the reasons to shift key to substitutes. The price variation of same class hotel services from various brands is one of the reasons to choose a substitute. The present demand and supply of hotel rooms is one of the reasons to choose a substitute. More fixed cost and switching costs affects the business. 5. COMPETITIVE RIVALRY BETWEEN EXISTING PLAYERS This force describes the intensity of competition between existing players (companies) in an industry. High competitive pressure results in pressure on prices, margins, and hence, on profitability for every single company in the industry. The top competitors in hotel industry are having the same services like five star, spas, boatels and motels, heritage hotels and palaces. The healthy competition among the all players is helping to increase the industry growth. Intense in metro cities, slowly plectrum up in secondary cities. Shruti Garg 2012H149223P 10 P a g e SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS A very wide conformation of hotels is present in the country.

The hotel industry in India is heavily staffed. High tax structure in the industry makes the industry worse off than its international. Only 97,000 hotel rooms are available in India today. Only limited value added services Poor support infrastructure Slow implementation Susceptible to policy-making events. OPPORTUNITIES Demand between the national and the inbound tourists can be substantially managed due to difference in the period of holidays. In the long-term the hotel industry in India has latent potential for growth. Unique experience in heritage hotels. Rising income. Open sky benefits. THREATS Guest houses replace the hotels. Political uplift in the area reduces tourist traffic and thus the business of the hotels changing trends in the west demand similar changes in India 2012H149223P 11 P a g e Shruti Garg The economic conditions of a country have a direct impact on the earnings in hotel industry. wishing of training man power in the hotel industry.
