Porters 5 Forces
Potential entrants.
Expensive to compete against the main
players.
Long time needed to establish a
respectable name and build up customer
loyalty
Suppliers
Many suppliers for hotels so
quality and price are key
factors for hotels to consider
when purchasing.
Supplier power is low in the
hotel industry as the hotels
are able to pick and choose
from a large number of
suppliers
Competitive rivalry:
4 main players
Granada Group
Whitbread plc
Hilton Group
Thistle Hotels
Substitutes
Many hotels so there can be a lot of
product-for-product substitution.
Doing without also a form of
substitution.
Invest in video conferencing saving
on air fares and time
Buyers
Large amount of buyers so
price and quality has to be
competitive to be attractive
