Jenny Lee, president of the recreation division, recently asked the CEO of PR how her division would share in the $ 800 revenue from the getaway package. The golf course was operating at 100% capacity. Currently, anyone booking the package was guaranteed access to the golf course. Lee noted that every “getaway” booking would displace $ 300 of other golf bookings not related to the package. She emphasized that the high demand reflected the devotion of her team to keeping the golf course rated one of the “Best 10 Courses in the World” by Golf Monthly. As an aside, she also noted that the lodging and food divisions had to turn away customers during only “peak-season events such as the New Year’s period.”
