5. Sensitivity and Alternative Scenarios:


a. Sensitivity Analysis:

Occupancy Rates:

Base Assumption: Our initial projection assumes a conservative 60% occupancy rate, considering the
novelty of our offering and the potential seasonality of tourism in Chihuahua. This rate reflects our
estimation of demand based on market research and competitor analysis.

Sensitivity Test: We will assess the impact of occupancy rate fluctuations by incrementally adjusting
it downwards and upwards by 5% increments. For instance, we'll analyze scenarios with occupancy
rates of 55% and 65% to understand how variations in demand may affect revenue projections.

Analysis: Through this sensitivity test, we aim to gauge the project's resilience to changes in
occupancy rates and evaluate its sensitivity to demand fluctuations. Understanding the potential
impact on revenue will enable us to develop contingency plans and optimize operational strategies to

Average Nightly Rates:

Base Assumption: Our initial pricing strategy sets the average nightly rate at $6,000 MXN, reflecting
the perceived value of our unique glamping experience and competitive positioning within the
market.

Sensitivity Test: We will explore the sensitivity of projected revenue to changes in average nightly
rates by adjusting them incrementally. By testing scenarios with rates such as $5,500 MXN and
$6,500 MXN, we can assess how variations in pricing affect demand elasticity and overall revenue.

Analysis: This sensitivity analysis allows us to understand the price sensitivity of our target market
and evaluate the trade-offs between pricing and demand. By identifying the optimal balance between
maximizing revenue and maintaining competitive pricing, we can refine our pricing strategy to
achieve our financial objectives.

Construction Costs:

Base Assumption: Our initial budget allocates $1,000,000 MXN for the construction of the geodesic
domes, covering materials, labor, and architectural design expenses.

Sensitivity Test: We will examine the impact of variations in construction costs by testing scenarios
with ±10% adjustments. This includes scenarios with construction costs of $900,000 MXN and
$1,100,000 MXN to assess the project's sensitivity to cost overruns or savings.

Analysis: By conducting this sensitivity analysis, we can evaluate the project's financial feasibility
and return on investment in light of potential changes in construction expenses. Understanding the
sensitivity of project economics to variations in costs will enable us to mitigate risks and make
informed decisions throughout the construction process.

b. Alternative Scenarios:

contribute to decreased demand for leisure travel and luxury accommodations.
Impact: The occupancy rates and average nightly rates may decline sharply as consumers prioritize
essential expenses over discretionary spending. Additionally, construction costs may increase due to
supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures.

Response: To mitigate the impact, we may need to adjust our pricing strategy to offer more
competitive rates and implement cost-saving measures in construction and operations. This could
include renegotiating supplier contracts, delaying non-essential expenditures, and exploring
alternative funding sources.

High Demand Scenario:

Description: In this scenario, we experience unexpectedly high demand for our geodesic dome
glamping experience, driven by positive word-of-mouth, viral marketing campaigns, or external
events boosting tourism in Chihuahua.

Impact: Occupancy rates exceed initial projections, leading to higher-than-expected revenue.


However, operational challenges may arise due to capacity constraints, staffing shortages, and
potential strain on infrastructure and resources.

Response: To capitalize on the opportunity, we may consider adjusting pricing dynamically to


optimize revenue while maintaining a balance between supply and demand. Expanding capacity
through phased construction or partnerships with nearby accommodations could help meet increased
demand without compromising guest experience.

Sustainable Tourism Promotion Scenario:

Description: In this scenario, there is a concerted effort by local and regional authorities to promote
sustainable tourism practices and eco-friendly accommodations. This includes incentives, subsidies,
and marketing campaigns aimed at attracting environmentally conscious travelers.

Impact: Our geodesic dome project receives heightened visibility and support, leading to increased
interest from environmentally conscious consumers. This could translate into higher occupancy rates,
premium pricing opportunities, and positive brand association.

Response: To leverage the momentum, we may enhance our sustainability initiatives, such as
investing in renewable energy sources, implementing waste reduction strategies, and obtaining eco-
certifications. Collaborating with local environmental organizations and participating in
sustainability-focused events can further enhance our reputation as a leading eco-friendly destination.
