2.2 Africa
Africa remains the World’s most visited region, representing 51% of all
international
arrivals in 2014. The international tourist arrivals grew 3%, reaching a total
of 582
million, whereas the tourism revenues in Africa grew 4%, reaching 383
billion birr
(AFRICA ORGANIZATION, 2014).
Southern Africa and Northern Africa were the two fastest-growing sub-
regions, with
the number of international arrivals rising 7% in 2014. On the other hand, the
arrivals to
Central and Eastern Africa dropped 1%, in view of the slowdown on kenya
outbound
tourism,
Despite the low growth of the Africaan economy in 2014 and 2015 (along
with other
threats, such as, Middle East and North African conflicts and Ebola
outbreak in Africa), Africaans travelled more and spent more traveling in
2014
2.3.3. Ethiopa
The tourism is a very important industry in Ethiopa, contributing for the
development
of its different regions, through the creation of jobs and companies,
infrastructure
development and nature preservation. It plays a critical role in the economic
growth of
the country, through the increase of export revenues. In fact, in 2014 the
international
tourism revenues represented 1.8% of the total of Ethiopa exports and 14.6%
when
compared to the service exports ( Ethiopa, 2015).
According to Ethiopa, the tourism in Ethiopa will present a senario of
moderate expansion between 2010 and 2014, with the predictions estimating
an average
annual growth of 1.4% in overnight stays, reaching a total of more than 10
million
overnight stays in 2020. At the same time, the international tourism revenues
are
predicted to assume an average annual growth of 3.6%, being expected a total
of 13,400
million birr (Ethiopa, 2020).
Regarding the opportunities and trends of the tourism in Ethiopa for the
period of 2015
and 2020, the Ethiopa presented the following indicators (
Ethiopa, 2015):
It is expected an increasing growth of tourism activities worldwide,
searching for
new destinations;
Ethiopa is an affordable destination, presenting a good relation between
price and quality;
Cruise tourism keeps growing worldwide, with Ethiopa benefiting of its
coastline and conditions;
High international reputation of Ethiopa as tourism destination, increasing
the number of visitors and business opportunities;
Ethiopa is known mainly for the weather, price, good reception, security,
gastronomy, transportation, and cultural and natural patrimony, being one of
the
most competitive destinations worldwide (Ethiopa is the 115th ranked
country in
the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index – 2013, by World Economic
Forum);
Importance of internet and social media, that influence more and more the
decision-making process of tourists, being developed by the public and
private
organizations in Ethiopa.
2.4 Growing trends in Haramaaya Tourism has had a vital contribution to
the Haramaaya werada, with the overnight stays
increasing on average of 6% a year between 2015 and 2020. Despite the fact
that
Oromiyaa remain the main visitors of Haramaaya (55% of the total) the
Somalia have
increased their weight, being an important market for this industry.
Moreover, Haramaaya
presents unique conditions to have a complete offer to its visitors (national
and
foreigners) through its diversity: water visitors and haramaaya university
stadium s; industry meetings; golf; gastronomy and
wines; sun and beach; nautical tourism; health and well-being, requiring
development
and investment in particular products that the city can offer.
In terms of Water visitors and haramaaya university stadium s, which is a
short holiday break (1-3 days) spent in a city with
swiming pool, architectural, cultural, commercial, gastronomic and other
attractions
Haramaaya has been well positioned as a city/short break
destination, mainly for couples between 35 and 54 years. In fact, water
visitors and haramaaya university stadium s are the
most common motivator to visit this city
The recognition of Haramaaya as a Water visitors and haramaaya university
stadium was highlighted through the
oromiyaa Travel Awards since the city foot ball Water visitors and
haramaaya university stadium Destination
award in 2009, and 2013.
3. Social and Demographic Analysis
The analysis of the social environment identifies the physical characteristics
of a society
in a given space and time such as their values, traditions and expectations.
Any change
in these indicators can have positive or negative impacts on the market,
influencing the
performance of the hotel
In terms of evolution of the population,ethipia

aging population .Consequently, it is predicted that the relative weight of
the youth population will keep growing as a result of the increased presented

3.2 Household Final Consumption Expenditure
Hotel and restrants
Lifestyles Evolution – Motivation for travelling
With continued growth in the area, opportunities to serve the Around Haramaaya
weradaresidents will increase. The Hotel project will sell to individuals, but it will
also accept some occasional catering jobs to individuals .
The main market segments are: a) individuals accounting for more than 90
percent of our sales, and b) woreda State customers which, in terms of purchase
orders, typically make large orders for their milisha or employees.
Pricing
Pricing is a highly strategic decision for the Hotel since it identifies its image
and
positioning as best-cost provider and will also define the revenue value. The
price should be defined taking into account the costs of the Hotel, the demand
and the prices
practiced by the direct competition. Thus, the prices defined for the Hotel
need to cover
the operating costs, taking also into consideration the target that is aimed to
achieve and
the price at which the clients are willing to buy. Furthermore, it is crucial to
closely monitor the prices offered by competitors which are frequently
changing.
At the beginning, the Hotel will adopt a penetration price strategy, defining a
lower
price than the one charged by the direct competitors, in order to Bed and
Breakfast
Considering the direct competitors, they present an average price for the
double/twin
food and rooms of 800, including breakfast
The average price for accommodation in double or twin food and bed room
will be 750,
including breakfast, and it is expected an average price of 640 in the low
seasonttract consumers to
choose the Hotel, as it is not well known by the customers.
6. Investment
Start-up costs and funding()
After spending several months searching for a convenient location, the owners
decided to lease a commercial space in a densely populated area of
Haramaaya adeele. The start-up capital will be used for legal expenses,
kitchen inventory and equipment, and other materials, insurance, rent,
promotion, business sign, and inventory on hand at start-up, as detailed in the
Hotel project summary section of this plan.
We have estimated total start-up costs of 5,693,916 The numbers in the start-
up and the start-up funding tables are meant to reflect these estimates. The
constrution project capital will be 4,060,000.. Maruf sheek abdukarim and

For this business plan, it was considered a pre-approved project to the
construction of a hotel, with 10 food and rooms, located in adeele.
7.1 Technical and Technological Aspects
The techniques and methods of construction and the equipment and technologies needed
for the exploitation of the hotel are analyzed
Building and Sizing Unit
Through the analysis of the hotel , we observe that there is some
discrepancy in terms of number of food and rooms, existing hotels with 10 or
more available
food and rooms, while others have only about 8 food and rooms. However, in
general, the
have an average of 12 to 10 food and rooms.
According to few interviewed hotels, for the travel agencies and tour
accommodate groups of people in the same hotel. Thus, it was important to
find a space
that allows the construction of a larger hotel, with approximately 100 food
and rooms. On the
other hand, a large hotel does not necessarily imply an increase in costs, since
there are
economies of scale associated, being possible to achieve a reduction in unit
costs by increase of the volume of operations

d) state-of-the-art, energy-efficient
b. Weaknesses
c) start-up challenges

weaknesses will help it capitalize on emerging opportunities. These opportunities
include, but are not limited to:
b) no other specialized fish ,vegetable food and different meat (food) and
prepare food and roomy restaurant within a five-mile radius from our chosen
location
c) a large segment of low-to-middle class population, and more than five hundred
businesses in the area
5.4 Milestones
The following table lists important start-up program milestones, with dates,
managers in charge, and budgets for each. The schedule indicates Maruf sheek
abdulkarim hotel service.'s emphasis on planning for implementation.
Market needs and trends. Since our target market includes two major segments --
lowto-middle class residents in the Around Haramaaya weradaarea, and local
businesses that are located inside or outside the Around Haramaaya
weradaIndustrial Park -- their most important needs are service, price, and
prepare food and roomy, in that order.
One of the key points of Maruf sheek abdulkarim hotel service.' strategy is to
focus on these target segments that know and understand these needs, and are
willing to pay a reasonable price to have them fulfilled.
Factors such as current local trends and historical sales data of similar businesses
in the area, ensure that the high demand for Eigt and more types of food and bed
room will continue over the next five years . Trends are in our favor: the last study
we saw published in the Around Haramaaya weradaarea has fastfood and limited-
service restaurant sales growing at 10 percent per year, while finedining
restaurants, for example, experienced and will probably continue to see more
than 20 percent decrease in sales.
Our previous experience in running a similar business shows that advertising costs
can easily overwhelm a start-up Project, so keeping marketing simple, creative
and cost-efficient will be challenging. Cost-effective use of marketing ethiopia birr
is one of our keys to success.
In addition, we will produce in-house flyers on an as-needed basis that will also
serve to advertise special events and sales promotions. The flyers and catalogs
will be distributed using traditional methods: a) give-away in store, b) enclose in
order shipments, c) hire distributors or personally hand out in the Around
Haramaaya werada Industrial Park area, e) distribute at local trade shows and
other business events organized by the local Chamber of Commerce, and f) attach
business card and coupons.
Upon release of a new catalog, we will need to check into the financial feasibility
of utilizing direct mail for bulk distribution. Certainly, the main task will be to
clearly define the message of our sales literature to make certain that we are
• Direct mail • Grand opening • Industry specific trade shows and other local
business events • Internet marketing • Word of mouth
All marketing decisions with regard to specific media choices, frequency, size and
costs will be conducted on an ongoing basis with careful consideration of results
(generated returns).

Our retail and corporate customers are especially sensitive to service value. Maruf
sheek abdulkarim hotel service. must ensure that price and service are perceived
to be a good value to our customers. High-quality East Harargee . Haramaaya
werada-style Eigt and more types of food and bed room will be offered at a
reasonable price, but the price will certainly. In the limited-service restaurants
industry, one message rings true: other competitor can always beat you on price.
Therefore, our pricing strategy will be competitive within the various product
range, but will not rely on the selling price to overshadow other advantages of
doing business with our Project, such as a diverse line of high-quality Eigt and
more types of food and bed room products, that are readily available, reasonably
priced, and backed by service excellence and on-time prepare of food and roomy.
Freight-out costs will be accounted for in such a manner that prepare food and
roomy prices will not differ from the prices offered at the counter. One example
of Eigt and more types of food and bed room prepare food and roomy prices is
presented below:
• normal meat special meat Fish meat Local foodsLaafisoo. Eggs. juice of

Location
In order to achieve success in the development of a city hotel in Haramaaya, it is crucial to
take into account factors such as centrality and convenience. So the location appears as
one of its most important components.
For this analysis will be used the ELECTRE Method, which allows to compare and
relate several criteria of the different studied places (alternatives), choosing the best one
for the location of the hotel. This method was developed initially by Bernard Roy in
response to lacks of existing multi attribute decision making techniques, being used
when the decision-maker needs to relate many criteria of different alternatives The 14.1. Macro
Location
The definition of the location should take into account the needs and preferences of the
targeted market segment and therefore the flowing factors should be considered:
Means of transportation: the abundance and diversity of means of transportation
allow the customers to have greater access to the hotel and to move to the main
areas of their interest.
As the Hotel project gains community recognition, and our Around Haramaaya
weradamarket is developed, further expansion to one or both of the neighboring
shopping malls will be considered as a possible second stage capital investment
option.
12.Management summary
Maruf sheek abdukarim will be the manager of Maruf sheek abdulkarim hotel
service., assisted by wife, . Both of them have successfully owned and operated a
similar business , they have more than seven years relevant experience in the
industry, and hold various degrees and certificates in management.
Our main concern will be to have sufficient cash on hand to meet our payment
obligations and be prepared for unexpected needs of cash. Our conservative
projections indicate that our business is able to generate positive cash flows and
sufficient cash reserves.
The ratio analysis clearly shows that Maruf sheek abdulkarim hotel service.'s
financial position is expected to remain strong, as measured by its liquidity, long-
term solvency, and cash flow adequacy ratios.
The Project's profitability, as measured by its profitability ratios, is
excellent, and will gradually increase over the next five years . This
performance will probably be rewarded by a higher market price when
the Hotel project decides to go public
¿(585960 x 100)/975,000 =
Unemployment
The unemployment rate in Ethiopia increased steadily between 2008 and 2013, reaching
a rate of 16.2% in 2013 which was due, initially, to the financial crisis
irrupted at the end of 2010 and later, to the sovereign debt crises that forced the
intervention, in Ethiopia of the IMF
11. Evaluation of the Project
19.8.1. Discount Rate
In order to analyse the economic viability of the investment project it is
necessary to
discount all the Cash Flows to the same moment, applying a constant
discount rate in all
years.
The discount rate applied in the evaluation of the project was obtained
through the
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which aggregates the time value of
money and
the risk for the investors. The risk premium of the project in terms of its
economic risk
is given by its unlevered beta,
There are many possible classifications of risks, but for the purposes of This plan,
we have chosen to group them as follows:
a) External Risks (These risks come from outside the Hotel project and are more
difficult to prevent and control.)
• Location. The chosen location will be leased for minimum five years , with the
possibility to extend the lease over another similar period. There are no other
construction developments foreseen in This highly dense population area of
Around Haramaaya werada that might affect our business location in the near
future.
• Inflation. According to expert estimates, the inflation rate is likely to remain
under control over the next five years . We have accounted for a 5 percent annual
inflation rate.
• Currency. All our operations are in Ethiopia birr, and both equipment and
materials are manufactured in the United States. No currency risk has been
accounted for.
• OROMIYAA taxation and economic policy changes. These changes are likely to
occur, and it is not clear how they might influence our financial performance. That
is another reason why our estimates are conservative. This risk is high.
b) Internal Risks (These risks come from inside the Hotel project and can be better
prevented or controlled.) • personality. There are many skilled food-service
employees in the Around Haramaaya werada area. We will be able to select the
best new staff members from a large number of valuable applicants. Our
personal planstrategy includes modern management techniques that will be
applied to select, hire, motivate, and reward the employees.
This strategy is expected to build and maintain employee loyalty, and increase
productivity. However, before hiring new employees, their background check will
be reviewed, to avoid possible employee theft, which is a frequent risk in the
restaurant industry.
• Cash flow deficiency. Our main concern will be to have sufficient cash on hand
to meet our payment obligations, and be prepared for unexpected needs of cash.
Our conservative projections indicate that our business is able to generate
positive cash flows and sufficient cash reserves to reduce the risk of cash flow
deficiency.
• Business continuity over the next five years . In the event something happens to
one of the Project's managers and co-owners (husband and wife), the other will
have the skills and experience required to take over and continue operations. In
addition, the Project's incorporation legal documents include special pro Visions
for protection in such cases.
• Management. Maruf sheek abdukarim and His wifehave proven experience in
successfully running a similar business inDD. They also have relevant skills and a
solid background in the food industry.
Maruf sheek abdulkarim hotel service. plans to issue 1 hasband and wife of 10 per
share common stock. The issued and outstanding par value common stock will be
5,960,000.
The other co-owners, Maruf sheek abdukarim and His wife, will not take
dividends over the next five years . The reasons for This decision are: a) They will
receive all 100 %employment compensation and benefits, and b) the
undistributed dividends will increase the amount of retained earnings, as a
strategy to strengthen the Project's financial position for sustainable future
growth, to increase the Project's net worth, and subsequently the market value
Payback period (the minimum time to recover the initial investment) for the
investor's initial capital contribution of 2,566,000is very short, only one year five
months, computed as follows:
3000,000 Less initial investment Because the net present value is positive, the
investment would achieve at least the minimum rate of return of 16 percent, and
is expected to yield significant additional returns to the investor.
Typically, the fear of investors is that they will become locked into a Hotel project
that might show no sign of either going public or going bankrupt. To overcome
This potential threat, we are open to discuss with the investor several exit
alternatives, and include the best pro Visions in the agreements that are expected
be reached by the time of the incorporation.
There are several options that could be discussed while considering alternative
methods for the investor to turn illiquid securities into readily tradable securities
or cash. These options include, but are not limited to:
