Question: Use the Spreadsheet Part 1 in the attached Group Evaluation and Sales Mix Proposal worksheet to determine the profitability of this potential group. The group



Use the Spreadsheet Part 1 in the attached "Group Evaluation and Sales Mix Proposal worksheet to determine the profitability of this potential group. The group would like to confirm 165 guest rooms arriving on Monday April 25 for 3 nights. The group will spend $10,000 per day on food and beverage. Their budget is $275 per night. The transient rate that would be displaced on those nights would be $350. Complete the data in the yellow highlighted cells on the Spreadsheet Part 1 tab. Based on the findings in the summary section at the bottom, answer the following questions in a 300-400-word report back to the director of sales: 1. Would this group be profitable for the hotel? What additional profit would the group bring to the bottom line? 2. What recommendations do you have for the director of sales to negotiate with the group to make the business more attractive to the hotel? Some factors to take into consideration: What will the group spend in addition to rooms? What is the profit on the additional amount spent by the group? (Food and beverage have lower profit margins than rooms.) What additional catering/banquet revenue could the director of sales propose to the group? Is the group commissionable? (Travel agent commissions are typically 10% of rooms revenue.) Part 2: Segmentation Review the mix of business for the previous year at a hotel using the Spreadsheet Part 2 tab in the attached "Group Evaluation and Sales Mix Proposal" worksheet. Use the following assumptions to propose the desired segmentation (including occupancy and rate) for the next year. The hotel's goal is to achieve 6% revenue growth. Occupancy will not exceed 80% due to seasonality constraints. The market will support a 5% transient rate increase with comparable volume. A reduction in contract rooms will translate into a 60% increase in occupancy for other segments (for example, if you reduce contract rooms by 1,000 rooms, 600 rooms will be shifted into other segments).
