1. INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA)1 was established with
the objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive
SME support program.
Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development
approach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth
research was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated after
identification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development
strategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking into
consideration other important aspects including financial aspects, niche marketing,
technology up gradation and human resource development.
SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors including, fruits and
vegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewelry, marine fisheries, leather and footwear,
textiles, surgical instruments, urban transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME
development at a broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms
of SMEDA’s areas of operation.
Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is also
offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable business
opportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA
provides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of
project specific documents.
These documents consist of information required to make well-researched investment
decisions.
Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development are some of the services provided to
enhance the capacity of individual SMEs to exploit viable business opportunities in a better
way.
This document is in the continuation of this effort to enable potential investors to make
well informed investment decisions.

2. PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT


The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs in
project identification for investment. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an
important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document/study
covers various aspects of project concept development, start-up, and production, finance
and business management.
3. PROJECT PROFILE
The project is about starting the business of a Beach Resort at Gwadar beach, Balochistan.
The proposed plan is to offer complete package of boarding/lodging and dinning for
tourists/visitors, and conference hall for different corporate clients for holding
meetings/seminars etc. at Gwadar beach.
3.1 Project Brief
A seaside resort is a resort located on the coast and where a beach is the primary focus for
tourists, it may be called a beach resort. The study provides basic information regarding
the investment opportunity for setting up a Beach Resort at any of the Balochistan’s major
coastal areas such as Gaddani, Sonmiani, Ormara, Pasni and Gwadar. Such a business could
also be established on beaches that fall in Sindh, after conducting initial market
research/surveys and properly analyzing the demand. Currently the project is being
designed/proposed for Gwadar being the most developed part of Balochistan’s coastal
Zone.
The project would serve as a place where tourists, visitors, vacationers and leisure
travelers could stay overnight, dine, and enjoy the breathtaking view of the clear ocean.
Initially the project is proposed to attract domestic tourists/visitors but after its maturity,
international tourists could also become a major part of its customer base.
The main features of the project would include miles of unspoiled virgin beach, luxurious
ocean view, beautiful separate huts, in-hut dining, dining hall, conference hall, and other
basic entertainment facilities.
3.2 Opportunity Rationale
Balochistan has more than 750 Kilometers long coastline with clean and virgin beaches,
tropical forests, exotic mountains, coral reefs and many breathtaking locations. Balochistan
coastal zone has so far been neglected for tourism and travel development despite of
tremendous potential in the sector. Very few areas are seen to have given a bit of attention
by the Government as far as beach tourism and travel is concerned and that too due to
traffic increase of visitors because of Gwadar. During the preliminary surveys, it was found
that towns such as Gaddani, Ormara and
Gwadar have been given attention by the government and private sector for investment.
The completion of Makran Coastal Highway has provided the very basic infrastructure
facility that connects the major towns such as Gaddani, Sonmiani, Ormara, Pasni and
Gwadar. Similarly Gwadar Airport has provided the visitors the facility to reach the town in
around 45 minutes from Karachi and in around 90 minutes from Quetta.

BAL-PREF-32/January 2012
Pre-feasibility Study Beach Resort 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Visitors and vacationers from Karachi city have diverted to beaches of Balochistan due to
increase of pollution and crowd on Karachi and adjacent beaches. Families are observed at
Gaddani beach on weekends and the number so far has seen inclining. Gwadar on the other
hand has seen to have a bit higher rate of development in terms of tourism and travel
activities, mainly due to Government’s priority in developing Gwadar Port that has
attracted the attention of both public and private sector in investment possibilities. Other
than Gaddani and Gwadar, Ormara has been given attention by the Government due to its
strategically important location in naval point of view. Other tourism and travel related
developments on Balochistan Coastal Belt include the establishment of Hingol National
Park, a few kilometers away from the beach at Hingol Valley, near Ormara.
Looking at a broader perspective, Balochistan coastline was required to be developed by
the government and private sector for tourism and related business activities/investments
much earlier, but this negligence on the other hand provides countless opportunities for
all-scale tourism businesses not only for domestic but also for international investors
specifically in Beach Resorts.
Following are the key points that make the project very much feasible and attractive for the
investors:
 The only beach resort in the province and country
 8 bamboo structured ocean front view huts
 24 hour guest service
 Miles of unspoiled beach
 Ocean view indoor and outdoor dining facility
 Ocean view conference hall
 24 Hour business center
 Cable TV
 Mini Bar
 Peaceful environment
3.3 Market Entry Timing
Although the weather conditions in Gwadar is suitable for tourists/visitors almost
throughout the year but the project is assumed to have business mostly during the winters
and springs as the weather conditions in these 6 months (October – March) becomes very
much comfortable for the visitors. The project therefore, is proposed to become
operational in the start of winter season to attract most of the customers.
3.4 Proposed Business Legal Status
Although the legal status of the business tends to play an important role in any setup, the
beach resort business is proposed to be operated on a sole proprietorship basis which may
extend to partnership in case of expansion and/or addition of new products/services that
might add significant business to the existing setup. Also less complications and costs are
involved in forming, administering and running such a setup and the tax rates applicable
for such arrangement are lower than private or public limited.

BAL-PREF-32/January 2012
Pre-feasibility Study Beach Resort 8
---------------------------------------------------------------------

3.5 Project Capacity and Rationale


The project is proposed to have eight (08) separate huts for visitors to stay overnight, one
conference hall, a dinning hall, and an open air dinning place on the first floor. After
project’s maturity in the peak seasons, the resort would entertain 8 families per day and
would facilitate three conferences/seminars/trainings per month.
3.6 Proposed Product Mix
The business setup is proposed to have the following products/services:
1. 08 separate huts on the beach, made of bamboos providing a unique experience to
visitors
2. Conference hall for all sorts of seminars, workshops, and training programs for
corporate clients
3. Open-air dining on the roof and indoor dining services (dining hall and hut delivery
services)
4. To make the project’s operations smooth and less hectic for the investor, it is
proposed that the kitchen (food and beverages) should be handed over to the
second party on Theka basis. The second party contractee will be responsible for
arranging experienced cooks and installing required kitchen machinery &
equipments.
3.7 Project Investment
The total investment required for this project is Rs. 14.88 Million. The investment mainly
covers capital costs of 14.26 Million and working capital requirement of Rs. 0.312 Million.
The project investment summary is given below:

3.8 Proposed Location
The proposed location for the project could be in any of the following areas on Balochistan
coastal belt such as Gaddani, Sonmiani, Ormara/Dam, Pasni, Gwadar and Jiwani. But due to
the availability of infrastructure and comparatively high traffic rate, it is highly
recommended to establish such a project at Gwadar beach to increase its viability.
However, such a project could also be established on beaches of Karachi and adjacent areas
after careful analysis of market demand and project viability.

3.9 Key Success Factors/Practical Tips for Success


 Location plays the most important role for such a project. Clean virgin beaches of
Balochistan coastal zone are suitable for the project and its viability.
 Trained personnel for the project would add towards the success of the project.
 Awareness amongst the general people would attract more customers therefore; use of
proper marketing techniques is important
 Makran Coastal Highway and Gwadar International Airport provides the connectivity of
the proposed location, Gwadar to the rest of the country making the project easily
accessible for visitors/vacationers and tourists
 Target customers should initially be the domestic tourists. Upon its maturity,
international tourists could also be facilitated
 Consistency in quality products and services would develop confidence amongst the
customers and would help in their retention
 Guest feedbacks should be a regular activity by the management and the viable
recommendations/suggestions should be adopted

4. CURRENT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE


4.1 Global Scenario1
Tourism activities are considered to be one of the major sources of economic growth. It can
be regarded as a mechanism of generating the employment as well as income in both
formal and informal sectors. Tourism supplements the foreign exchange earnings derived
from trade in commodities and some times finance the import of capital goods necessary
for the growth of manufacturing sectors in the economy. On the other hand rapid economic
growth in the developed economies attracts foreign travels (Business travels), which leads
to an increase in the foreign reserve of the country.
Over the past several decades, international tourism has been gaining importance in many
economies of the world. According to the World Tourism Organization (2010),
expenditures by 693 million international tourists traveling in 2010 totaled US $ 1162
billion worldwide. In addition, tourists spending have served as an alternative form of
exports, contributing to balance of payments through foreign exchange earnings in many
countries. The rapid growth of tourism led to a growth of household incomes and
government revenues directly and indirectly by means of multiplier effects, improving
balance of payments and provoking tourism-promoted government policies. As a result, the
development of tourism has generally been considered a positive contribution to economic
growth.
4.2 Overview of the Year 2011
Tourism as an organized, regular and multidimensional business activity has grown to the
level of an industry of world wide importance, employing more than 200 million
people around the globe and contributing more than US$600 billion in direct and
indirect taxes each year to global economic development. The substantial growth of
tourism activity over the years clearly marks tourism as one of the most remarkable
economic and social phenomena of the past century that has after three subdued years
(2008-2009) bounced back in 2004 with 10.7 % record increase in international tourist
arrivals, reaching to a new record value of US 622 billion dollars in 20102.
World Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has experienced its longest period of sustained
growth for 25 years, with figures around or above 5% since 2008. Particularly emerging
markets and developing economies are driving the global GDP for the most part of this
decade. This also correlates to their behavior as emerging tourism destinations, which on
average nearly double the growth of destinations in high income countries.
For 2011, confidence remains high, although this perception might deteriorate. Economies
worldwide have shown increased volatility and confidence has weakened in some markets
due to uncertainty about the subprime mortgage crises and economic prospects, in
particular for the USA, alongside with global imbalances and high oil prices.
International tourism might be affected by this global context. But based on past
experience, the sector’s proven resilience and given the current parameters, it is unlikely to
expect that growth in world travel and tourism will come to a halt.

4.3 Tourism in Pakistan


The different types of natural features in Pakistan range from the sandy beaches, lagoons,
and mangrove swamps of the southern coast to preserved moist temperate forests
and the icy peaks of the Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountains in the
north. There are an estimated 108 peaks above 7,000 meters (23,000 ft) high that
are covered with snow and glaciers. Five of the mountains in Pakistan (including the
majestic famous Karakoram Range peak of K2 the official declared National Mountain
and Nanga Parbat) are over 8,000 meters (26,000 ft). Linking Indian-occupied Kashmir
to the Northern Areas of Pakistan and running the length of the country is the Indus River
with its many tributaries. To the west of the Indus are the dry, hilly deserts of
Balochistan; to the east are the rolling sand dunes of the Thar Desert. Most areas of Punjab
and parts of Sindh are fertile plains where agriculture is of great importance. The
climate varies as much as the scenery with cold winters and hot summers in the north and
a mild climate in the south, moderated by the influence of the ocean.
The central parts have extremely hot summers with temperatures rising to 45 degree
Celsius, followed by very cold winters, often falling below freezing. Many cultural practices,
foods, monuments, and shrines in Pakistan were inherited from the rule of Muslim
Mughal and Afghan emperors. The rich variety of Pakistani music ranges from diverse
provincial folk music and traditional styles such as Qawwali and Ghazal Gayaki to
modern forms fusing traditional and western music, such as the synchronization of
Qawwali and western music by the renowned Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Tourism is a growing industry in Pakistan, based on its diverse cultures, people and
landscapes. Examples include ancient civilization ruins such as Mohenjo-daro,
Harappa and Taxila, to the Himalayan hill stations that attract those interested in field
sports and winter sports. Pakistan is home to several mountain peaks over 7,000 m,
which attracts adventurers and mountaineers from around the world especially to K-2.
The northern parts of Pakistan have many old fortresses, towers and other
architecture as well as the Hunza and Chitral valleys, the latter being home to the small
pre-Islamic animist Kalash community who claim descent from the army of Alexander
the Great. Punjab is the site of Alexander's battle on the Jhelum River and the
historic city Lahore, Pakistan's cultural capital with many examples of Mughal
architecture such as the Badshahi Masjid and the Shalimar Gardens.
4.3.1 Tourism in Balochsitan
Tourism and travel in Balochistan has never been properly analyzed and no due
importance was given to this important sector both by public and private sector
organizations in the past. So far the overall focus in promoting tourism has only been on
Quetta City and its adjacent areas, Ziarat Valley, and Sibbi. The excuses given in the past
for neglecting Balochistan in promoting tourism are scattered nature of population,
vastness of area, dearth of skilled labor, social structure, tribal feuds and lack of
marketing facilities. But on the contrary Balochistan has always had the potential to
attract national and international tourists to its coastal region. In 2005, over 2 million

BAL-PREF-32/January 2012
Pre-feasibility Study Beach Resort 13
---------------------------------------------------------------------

tourists traveled to Iran and Pakistan. It is safe to assume that only Balochistan’s coastal
areas could attract over 200,000 tourists per year1.
4.3.2 Coastal Tourism
Coastal tourism is one of the oldest forms of tourism. Some beach resorts have been
catering for tourists since the 19th century throughout the world. Originally it was only
the elite who visited the seaside, but the market developed into today’s coastal
tourism which often takes the form of a very high concentration of tourists staying at
the same destination, chiefly during the summer.
One of the tourism assets of Pakistan includes a coastal zone spreading over one thousand
kilometers along the Arabian Sea offering long term development potential for beach
resorts, water sports, fishing, crabbing, mountaineering/trekking and other beach
tourism activities/businesses. The coastline of Balochistan province starts from one corner
of District Lasbela and stretches to District Gwadar. The developed coastal towns that fall
on the way while travelling from District Lasbella to District Gwadar in sequence are
Gadani, Sonmiani/Dham, Ormara, Pasni, Gwadar and Jiwani.
To link Karachi to Gwadar via Hub, around 700 Km long Makran Coastal Highway
(National Highway) has been built. NHA started this mega road link in 2003 and
completed it in a record time of 1.5 years. The highway has been built according to
international standards and it takes around 7 hours of pleasant journey along the coastline
of Arabian Sea to reach Gwadar from Karachi.
The Government is currently developing Ormara as a major naval base and Gwadar
as a major new commercial port. The new naval base at Ormara will host about half
of the Pakistani Navy, whilst Gwadar is planned to reduce the pressure on the two
international ports at Karachi.
Astola Island
Astola Island is the biggest offshore island in the Arabian Sea. It is situated in the northern
side of Arabian Sea, approximately 25 kilometers off the mainland coast, 40 kilometers
east-southeast of Pasni Harbor. It falls under the Pasni subdivision of Gwadar district. It
covers an area of 500 ha and was designated as Ramsar site on 10th May 2001. This un-
inhabited island is the only significant offshore island and potential tourist spot along
the north coast of the Arabian Sea.
Features of Balochistan coastal zone:
 Clean & Virgin Beaches
 Cliffs And Headlands
 Bays & Lagoons
 Mud Volcanoes
 Underwater World
 Suitable Weather Conditions
 Easy Accessibility

5. MARKETING STRATEGY
5.1 Target Customers
The target market of the project is very wide in nature. All the tourists/visitors whether
domestic or international could be the major target market for the project. On the same
time, it could also be a facility for the corporate clients who visit Gwadar on business
purposes and want to hold seminars/workshops etc. Similarly, the local residents of
Gwadar and adjacent areas could also be one of the major components of the target market
who could not only stay overnight at the huts but also could enjoy see view dining, lunch or
evening tea.
5.2 Market Potential
As discussed earlier, currently there are no such facility available in the whole country,
therefore, its uniqueness would attract its customers to have a different and new
experience staying at its family huts and/or enjoy the see view meals. Also for corporate
culture, its see view conference hall would also provide a very unique environment.
5.3 Pricing Strategy
Since the project has a very wide range of customer class, the pricing strategy should be
appealing enough to give its customers the value of their money spend while using its
services. On the same time, the charges should neither be very high to compete with PC
Gwadar nor very low to give negative impression in the market. After carefully analyzing
the current hotel/motel cluster in Gwadar, it is proposed that the customers should be
charged somewhere between Rs. 3,000 to 5,000 per night. The investor can always shuffle
the charges according to the market situation and seasons. In this report, Rs. 4,000 per
night charge for only six months (Sept-March) has been taken to calculate project’s revenue
streams. However, the investor can always attract customers to stay at the resort in the off-
season as well adding more revenue to the project.
5.3.1 Additional Revenue
The hall rental per day for different venues such as seminars, training programs,
workshops, birthday parties, anniversaries and other social gatherings should be in line
with the other similar service providers so that the customers could be attracted. Here, it is
assumed that a total of 24 venues (2 per month) will be facilitated and Rs. 10,000 per
venue hall rental will be charged.
The last revenue component of the project is the monthly/quarterly/semi-
annually/annually kitchen heka. Under normal circumstances, such agreements are made
keeping in view the regular flow of customers throughout the year. Since due to weather
conditions, this project has one peak-season (Sept-March) in the year, therefore, it is
assumed that the flow of customers would not be regular throughout the year. The investor
has to keep this factor in mind while deciding the Theka rate. In this pre-feasibility report, a

8. STARTING A SUCCESSFUL BEACH RESORT BUSINESS
From small restaurants and motels to large size hotels, more and more tourist stay areas
are popping up in attractive places in the country. Since hospitality services are becoming a
common business venture, people must also enjoy running them. However, all of those
advantages come at a price – building and operating such a structure from scratch and that
too for the first time in areas like Gwadar is not an easy task. It is a hard and expensive
process, and the reality is that many resorts/hotels fail in their first year of business due to
improper planning and forecasting.
But rest assured there are ways to reduce the risk of becoming another statistic. Following
are some of the handy tips that can help run a successful beach resort establishment.
8.1 How to Start a Beach Resort?
8.1.1 Work in a Similar Hospitality Business
One of the best ways to reduce the risk of owning a failed resort is to have some hospitality
service providing experience before you start your own. Many successful
hotel/motel/resort owners have said that the best way to prepare for owning a similar
setup is by working in one.
You will learn more than just how to receive guests and provide your services with a smile,
you can learn marketing, venue management, payroll, and other significant components.
Working in the hotel industry and learning the basics is an important first step to becoming
a successful owner.
8.1.2 Know Your Target Market
Who does the investor see as guests in his/her resort? Is he/she targeting the whole family,
youngsters, seniors, or corporate people? Knowing the target market before start planning
will not only help the investor solidify his/her overall services but it will also help
determine the location, decor and the overall atmosphere of the resort. A family-style
resort, which caters to parents and their kids, may not appeal to seniors and/or corporate
clients. On the other hand, an upscale, quiet atmosphere offering a two-hour dining
experience wouldn't be appealing to teenagers or families with small children.

BAL-PREF-32/January 2012
Pre-feasibility Study Beach Resort 18
---------------------------------------------------------------------

8.1.3 Develop a Business Plan


Like any other type of company, a beach resort will need a concise business plan. This plan
should include but is not limited to: the overall concept and goal of the business, specific
financial information and projections, a description of the target market, the services, menu
and pricing, equipment and employee details, advertising and marketing plan, and a
potential exit strategy.
8.1.4 Choose a Location & Layout
It is important to find a location that has a continuous stream of traffic, convenient parking,
and is in proximity to other businesses. For a beach resort, u may want to select a beach a
little aside the crowded parts of the area where the visitors could enjoy only the beach and
not the traffic and noises that they have become fed up of. On the same time, the investor
should also keep in view its easy proximity for the visitors from the main town/city. In
addition, if the investor acquires the premises on rental basis, he/she should make sure
that the monthly rent is in-line with the business plan's projections. Once the location is
selected, the layout and design of the interior should be taken into account. Investor should
already have a concept of his/her resort in the business plan and bring the concept into the
design of the overall structure. When designing the kitchen area, the investor should
already have the idea about the daily menu in order to determine what is needed for the
food preparation area.
8.1.5 Getting the Appropriate Funding
The business plan will help the investor recognize how much money he/she will need to
start a beach resort. If unsure about how much money will be needed upfront, talking to
other similar business owners can help project the expected start-up costs.
8.1.6 Be Familiar with Safety Regulations
Hotels, motels, restaurants, and resorts are regulated and subject to inspection, and failing
to be up to speed with these regulations could be detrimental to the facility. Therefore it is
necessary to consult with similar business owners/related govt. departments to become
familiar with what one must do to meet the necessary legal requirements.
8.1.7 Hiring Employees
One of the biggest challenges hotels and resorts face is the lack of qualified labor. In order
to get and retain qualified employees, make sure that the pay scales relate clearly to the
job's duties and responsibilities. In addition, find out what other similar setups are paying
their employees so that you can be competitive in the job market, without spending too
much on payroll. However the investor should try linking the payroll with the bottom line
and see how much money can be squeezed out for the employees. Similarly, giving priority
of hiring the local people in the staff gives another advantage as they might be more aware
of the local customs/traditions and would help develop such atmosphere to attract/satisfy
customers. In case of difficulty in finding trained/educated staff, investor may want to train
the staff after hiring them according to the business needs and requirements.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

8.1.8 Advertise & Market


Every business needs a comprehensive marketing plan and such a setup that never has
existed before certainly would need a lot of concentration for its proper introduction in the
market. After determining marketing budget, price out billboard advertising, flyers in
newspapers, and local cable TV advertising. Ask the customers how they found out about
your setup and service, so that you can record where the advertising and marketing money
could be best spent.
8.2 Deciding on the Layout
Layout and design are major factors in introduction phase of any hospitality business.
You'll need to take into account the size and layout of the reception area, kitchen space,
conference hall, and especially the individual huts.
8.2.1 Separate Bamboo Huts
This component should be the main focus of attention while designing its external and
internal layout. The proposed material for constructing the huts is bamboo as it would
provide the natural and a bit different look. Similarly, living in a bamboo hut would provide
a very unique experience to the visitors/tourists especially the domestic visitors as a major
portion of such customers/clients have never had such experience. Since it’s a beach resort,
therefore all the openings of huts should be directed towards the sea shores. Also the space
between the huts should be reasonable enough to provide privacy to visitors.
8.2.2Kitchen Operations and Dining Area
The proposed setup is to hand over the kitchen on Monthly Theka basis. While selecting the
ontractee, the investor should analyze their previous experience in catering and related
services and should discuss/consult the contractee before designing the layout of the
kitchen and dining area so that it should meet their requirements. Once again, the ocean
view should be kept in mind in designing the layout of the indoor/outdoor dining area.
To accommodate the different groups of customers, use tables for four that can be pushed
together in areas where there is ample floor space. This gives you flexibility in
accommodating both small and large parties. Place movable umbrella shades on the open
dining areas (as proposed the facility will have open terrace on the first floor besides the
indoor dining hall) so that the visitors find it comfortable having meals under the sunlight.
8.2.3 Reception Area
For any hospitality business, the layout of the reception area plays a very important role in
attracting and retaining clients. Make sure that the layout should be reasonably large,
comfortable and attractive. Similarly, there should be plenty of sitting areas so that visitors
could comfortably wait for reservation in peak season.
8.2.4 Conference Hall
Since Gwadar has become the focus of not only public sector but also private sector
businesses/companies, therefore it is expected that there is a dire need of such a facility to
accommodate such customers. The conference hall normally is used for organizing
seminars, workshops and training programs. The investor should make sure that the layout
of the conference hall should be in a way to house a reasonable number of people

BAL-PREF-32/January 2012
Pre-feasibility Study Beach Resort 20
---------------------------------------------------------------------

comfortably in one time. Ocean view window openings concept can also be used for
designing the layout of the conference hall.
8.3 Hiring the Right Employees
Choosing employees who will do a good job is not only important to the success of the
business, but will also contribute to the overall first and last image of the beach resort,
provided they are properly trained. There are several categories of personnel in the
hospitality business such as manager, receptionist, servers, housekeepers, cooks,
dishwashers and cleaners. When the business is still new, some employees' duties may
cross over from one category to another. For example, your servers may double as the
cleaners. The investor should be sure to hire people who are willing to be flexible in their
duties.
8.4 A Good Hospitality Business Experience
Based on some surveys conducted, following are some of the factors that contribute to a
good hospitality business experience:
 Location
 Characteristics
 Welcome
 Food
 Environment (parking, restrooms, lighting)
 Dessert Variety
 Smile factor
 Time factor/quick service
 The server should greet visitors/tourists on the main gate
 The server should be neat and clean
 The server should not be too chatty or familiar
 The server should know the menu and be able to answer questions
