INDUSTRY PROFILE


SURANA PG CENTRE

HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM INDUSTRY

The Indian hospitality industry has emerged as one of the key industries driving growth of the

services sector in India. It has evolved into an industry that is sensitive to the needs and desires

of people. The fortunes of the hospitality industry have always been linked to the prospects of

the tourism industry and tourism is the foremost demand driver of the industry. The Indian

hospitality industry has recorded healthy growth fuelled by robust inflow of foreign tourists as

well as increased tourist movement within the country and it has become one of the leading

players in the global industry. Foreign tourist arrivals (FTAs) into the country increased steadily

from 2002 to 2008. FTAs dipped in 2009, due to the global economic slowdown; however, the

impact on the Indian industry was much lower than that on the global counterparts. FTAs are

expected to increase in 2010. On the other hand, domestic tourist movement within the country

was the highest in 2009.

Industry characteristics

Major characteristics of the Indian hospitality industry are:

High seasonality

The Indian hotel industry normally experiences high demand during October–April,

followed which the monsoon months entail low demand. Usually the December and

March quarters bring in 60% of the year’s turnover for India’s hoteliers. However, this

trend is seeing a change over the recent few years. Hotels have introduced various

offerings to improve performance (occupancy) during the lean months. These include

targeting the conferencing segment and offering lucrative packages during the lean

period.

Labour intensive

Quality of manpower is important in the hospitality industry. The industry provides

employment to skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labour directly and indirectly. In

India, the average employee-to-room ratio at 1.6 (2008-09), is much higher than that for

hotels across the world. The ratio stands at 1.7 for five-star hotels and at 1.9 and 1.6 for


SURANA PG CENTRE

the four-star and three-star categories respectively. Hotel owners in India tend to “over-

spec” their hotels, leading to higher manpower requirement. With the entry of branded

international hotels in the Indian industry across different categories, Indian hotel

companies need to become more manpower efficient and reconsider their staffing

requirements.

Classification of hotels

The Ministry of Tourism has formulated a voluntary scheme for classification of

operational hotels into different categories, to provide contemporary standards of

facilities and services at hotels. Based on the approval from the Ministry of Tourism,

hotels in India can divided into two categories:

o DoT (Department of Tourism) classified hotels 2) DoT (Department of Tourism)

unclassified hotels

Classified hotels

Hotels are classified based on the number of facilities and services provided by them.

Hotels classified under the Ministry of Tourism enjoy different kinds of benefits such as

tax incentives, interest subsidies, and import benefits. Due to lengthy and complex

processes for such classification, a significant portion of the hotels in India still remain

unclassified. The Ministry of Tourism classifies hotels as follows:

Star category hotels

Heritage hotels

Licensed units

Star category hotels

Within this category, hotels are classified as five-star deluxe, five-star, four-star, three-

star, two-star and one-star.

Heritage hotels

These hotels operate from forts, palaces, castles, jungles, river lodges and heritage

buildings. The categories within heritage classification include heritage grand, heritage

classic and heritage basic.


SURANA PG CENTRE

Licensed units

Hotels/establishments, which have acquired approval/license from the Ministry of

Tourism to provide boarding and lodging facilities and are not classified as heritage or

star hotels, fall in this category. These include government-approved service apartments,

timesharing resorts, and bed and breakfast establishments.

Branded players

This segment mainly represents the branded budget hotels in the country, which bridge

the gap between expensive luxury hotels and inexpensive lodges across the country.

Budget hotels are reasonably priced and offer limited luxury and decent services.

Increased demand and healthy occupancy have fuelled growth of budget hotels. These

hotels use various cost control measures to maintain lower average room rates without

compromising on service quality. Ginger Hotels, ITC Fortune, Hometel, and Ibis are

some of the popular budget hotels.

Other smaller players

These are small hotels, motels and lodges that are spread across the country. This

segment is highly unorganized and low prices are their unique selling


SURANA PG CENTRE

Growth drivers

The fortunes of the hospitality industry are closely linked to the tourism industry and hence

tourism is one of the most important growth drivers. In addition, all factors that aid growth in

the tourism industry also apply to the hospitality industry. The Indian hospitality industry has

recorded healthy growth in recent years owing to a number of factors:


SURANA PG CENTRE

Increased tourist movement

Increased FTAs and tourist movement within the country has aided growth in the hospitality

industry. Healthy corporate profits and higher disposable incomes with easier access to finance

have driven the rise in leisure and business tourism, thus having a positive impact on the

hospitality industry.

Economic growth

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It recorded healthy growth in the

past few years, at more than 9% each during FY06-FY08. Despite the global economic

slowdown, the Indian economy clocked growth of 6.7% and 7.4% in FY09 and FY10

respectively. Attractiveness of India has encouraged foreign players to set up their operational

facilities in the country. Domestic industries have also made heavy investments to expand their

facilities through Greenfield and Brownfield projects.

Changing consumer dynamics and ease of finance

The country has experienced a change in consumption patterns. The middle class population

with higher disposable incomes has caused the shift in spending pattern, with discretionary

purchases forming a substantial part of total consumer spending. Increased affordability and

affinity for leisure travel are driving tourism in India and in turn aiding growth of the hospitality

industry. Emergence of credit culture and easier availability of personal loans have also driven

growth in the travel and tourism and hospitality industries in the country.

Measures undertaken by the government

Various policy measures undertaken by the Ministry of Tourism and tax incentives have also

aided growth of the hospitality industry; some of them include:

Allowance of 100% FDI in the hotel industry (including construction of hotels, resorts,

and recreational facilities) through the automatic route


SURANA PG CENTRE

Introduction of ‘Medical Visa’ for tourists coming into the country for medical treatment

Issuance of visa-on-arrival for tourists from select countries, which include Japan, New

Zealand, and Finland

Promotion of rural tourism by the Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with the United

Nations Development Programme

Elimination of customs duty for import of raw materials, equipment, liquor etc

Capital subsidy programme for budget hotels

Exemption of Fringe Benefit Tax on crèches, employee sports, and guest house facilities

Five-year income tax holidays for 2-4 star hotels established in specified districts having

UNESCO-declared 'World Heritage Sites'.

Trends in the industry

The hospitality industry recorded healthy growth in early-2000, leading to a rise in occupancy

rate during 2005/06 and 2006/07. Consequently, average rates for hotel rooms also increased in

2006/07. The rise in average rates was also a result of the demand-supply gap for hotel rooms,

especially in major metros. Hotels were charging higher rates, at times much higher than that

those charged by their counterparts in other parts of the world.

Lured by higher returns experienced by the hotel industry, a number of players, domestic as

well as international, entered the space. India became one of the most attractive destinations for

such investments.

While on the one hand, investments continued to flow into the hotel industry, hit by sharp rise

in rates, corporate started looking for alternate cost-effective lodging options. This led to

emergence of corporate guest houses, especially in major metros, and leased apartments as

replacements for hotels. While average room rates rose in 2007/08, occupancy rates dropped.

Occupancy rates plunged sharply next year, as demand declined following the global economic

slowdown and the terror attacks in Mumbai. As a result, hotel rates declined during 2009-10.


SURANA PG CENTRE

The hospitality industry reported improvement in 2009-10, with domestic tourist movement in

the country being at a high. While average rates remained lower, occupancy rates rose,

supported by surge in domestic tourist movement. The industry is expected to report healthy

growth in 2010/11, with expected increase in domestic tourist movement and rise in

international tourist arrivals.

Development of other markets

A major trend in recent times is the development of the hotel industry in cities other than major

metros. As real estate prices have been soaring, setting up and maintaining businesses and

hotels in major metros is becoming more expensive, leading to search for other cities entailing

lesser costs. Consequently, hotel markets have emerged in cities such as Hyderabad, Pune, and

Jaipur, Banglore. This has led to increase in hotel development activity and expansion of hotel

brands within the country.

The industry has also seen development of micro markets, especially in primary cities. As cities

grow larger and more office spaces come up across the city, travellers prefer to stay at hotels

closer to the place of work/visit to save on time. This has led to the same hotel company setting

up hotels across different location within a city.

Marketing strategies

Marketing strategies in the hospitality industry have changed drastically over the past decade. A

decade back, the brand name of the hotel was a major driver. However, with the arrival of well

educated and experienced travellers, hotel companies have had to change/realign their

marketing strategies. Today, hotel companies marketing strategies are differentiation,

consistency, customer satisfaction, delivery of brand promises, and customer retention.

Development and use of technology have also changed the way hotel companies operate,

creating the need for online marketing. Travellers increasingly conduct basic research on the

Internet. Blogs, networking sites, and travel sites are therefore being used for making choices

and the information provided tends to influence opinions and choices. Several travel portals


SURANA PG CENTRE

have emerged in recent times and travellers are increasingly using these portals to make hotel

reservations.

Opportunities

The prospects for the hotel industry in India are bright. With revival in the global economy,

international tourist inflow into the country is expected to rise. Additionally, hosting of

international sports events and trade fairs and exhibitions in the country are expected to aid both

inflow of international tourists and domestic tourist movement.

The upcoming industrial parks, manufacturing facilities and ports across the country provide a

good opportunity for budget and mid-market hotels. Although around 89,500 additional rooms

are expected to come up in India in the next five years, the supply of branded/quality rooms in

India is much lower compared to other countries across the globe. Hence, there exists huge

potential for investors and operators across all the segments of hotel industry in India. The

increase in room inventories is expected to make the hotel industry more competitive and hotels

would be under pressure to maintain quality and service levels at competitive prices.

Competitive pricing amongst the branded hotels along with the addition of more budget and

mid-market hotels would make the hotel industry cost competitive with other destinations. This

would aid the growth of segments such as MICE, amongst others.

While there is immense potential, concerns for growth of the industry remain. These include

high real estate prices in the country, security threats, shortage of manpower, high tax structure,

and non-uniformity in taxes.

Hospitality Industry Growth Rate 2012 - Hotel industry statistics

According to a variety of reports, the U.S. Hospitality industry is growing at a moderate pace in

line with the GDP growth rate that measures the broader economy. We are clearly out of

recession but have a long way to go to strengthen our national economy. It follows quite

logically that as the economy gets stronger the hotel and hospitality industry will also get

stronger.

Hotel industry statistics are used as the basis of the monthly HIP index. It uses components such as

inflation adjusted lodging revenues, the number of employees and room occupancy rates to come up

with a number that reflects the health of the industry. The index has a starting point of 100. Anything

above 100 indicates growth and anything under 100 means contraction or a negative growth rate. At the

end of March, 2012 the HIP index stood at 104.6 indicating a lukewarm rate of growth.

Looking at specific markets can also indicate the health of the hotel industry. In the very important Las

Vegas, Nevada market, industry growth is slow, but steady. A recent report provided by the UNLV

Centre for Business & Economic Research (CBER) forecast an increase in visitor count to the city. They

expect with a fair degree of certainty that the city will set an all-time record for annual visitors of just

over 40 million people. The prediction of 40.1 million visitors in 2012 would surpass the 39.2 million

record set in 2007.

Texas is another state that attracts millions of travellers and tourists who support the hospitality

industry.

According to the Texas Workforce Commission & Real Estate Center at Texas A&M

University, the employment rate has been growing at a much faster rate than the national

employment rate. That is a strong indication that business will be picking up for the many

hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions in the state. The data shows that in April, 2012, the

Leisure and Hospitality industry employed 1,089,800 compared to 1,046,000 in April, 2011.

The year-to-year comparison shows that 43,800 more people have been employed and that the

figure translates into a 4.2% annual growth rate

The Company's beginnings were humble. A leased office on Radha Bazar Lane, Kolkata, was the

centre of the Company's existence. The Company celebrated its 16th birthday on August 24,

1926, by purchasing the plot of land situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now renamed J.L. Nehru

Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This decision of the Company was historic in more

ways than one. It was to mark the beginning of a long and eventful journey into India's future.

The Company's headquarter building, 'Virginia House', which came up on that plot of land two

years later, would go on to become one of Kolkata's most venerated landmarks.

Though the first six decades of the Company's existence were primarily devoted to the growth

and consolidation of the Cigarettes and Leaf Tobacco businesses, the Seventies witnessed the

beginnings of a corporate transformation that would usher in momentous changes in the life of

the Company.

ITC's Packaging & Printing Business was set up in 1925 as a strategic backward integration for

ITC's Cigarettes business. It is today India's most sophisticated packaging house.

In 1975, the Company launched its Hotels business with the acquisition of a hotel in Chennai

which was rechristened 'ITC-Welcomgroup Hotel Chola' (now renamed My Fortune, Chennai).

The objective of ITC's entry into the hotels business was rooted in the concept of creating value

for the nation. ITC chose the Hotels business for its potential to earn high levels of foreign

exchange, create tourism infrastructure and generate large scale direct and indirect employment.

Since then ITC's Hotels business has grown to occupy a position of leadership, with over 100

owned and managed properties spread across India under four brands namely, ITC Hotels -

Luxury Collection, WelcomHotels, Fortune Hotels and WelcomHeritage.

In 1979, ITC entered the Paperboards business by promoting ITC Bhadrachalam Paperboards

Limited. Bhadrachalam Paperboards amalgamated with the Company effective March 13, 2002

and became a Division of the Company, Bhadrachalam Paperboards Division. In November

2002, this division merged with the Company's Tribeni Tissues Division to form the Paperboards

& Specialty Papers Division. ITC's paperboards' technology, productivity, quality and

manufacturing processes are comparable to the best in the world. It has also made an immense


SURANA PG CENTRE

contribution to the development of Sarapaka, an economically backward area in the state of

Andhra Pradesh. It is directly involved in education, environmental protection and community

development. In 2004, ITC acquired the paperboard manufacturing facility of BILT Industrial

Packaging Co. Ltd (BIPCO), near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The Kovai Unit allows ITC to

improve customer service with reduced lead time and a wider product range.

Launched in 1975, ITC Hotels, India's premier chain of luxury hotels, has become synonymous

with Indian hospitality. ITC Hotels pioneered the concept of 'Responsible Luxury' in the

hospitality industry, drawing on the strengths of the ITC groups exemplary sustainability

practices. Responsible Luxury personifies an ethos that integrates world-class green practices

with contemporary design elements to deliver the best of luxury in the greenest possible manner.

Fortune Hotels are the brainchildren of ITC ltd which is a large commercial conglomerate.

Fortune Hotels have done a splendid job of establishing its brand as a premium hotel brand.

Their chain of 3-4 star hotels across 18 locations in India are mostly business hotels situated in

metropolitan areas.

Branded Accommodation

ITC Hotels has set standards for excellence in the hotel industry by pioneering the concept of

branded accommodation. The chain has developed three brands of accommodation ITC One',

'Towers' and the 'Executive Club' to differentiate between the needs of various travellers and

provide the highest levels of service.

SURANA PG CENTRE

these delicacies across the country. The sumptuous fare at Kebabs and Kurries comprises a

mouth-watering array of kebabs and a wide range of dishes from all over India. These dishes can

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE


SURANA PG CENTRE

ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN

Organizing, the process of structuring human and physical resources in order to

accomplish organizational objectives, involves dividing tasks into jobs, specifying the

appropriate department for each job, deter-mining the optimum number of jobs in each

department, and dele-gating authority within and among departments. One of the most critical

challenges facing lodging managers today is the development of a responsive organizational

structure that is committed to quality.

1. The framework of jobs and departments that make up any organization must be directed

toward achieving the organization’s objectives. In other words, the structure of a lodging

business must be consistent with its strategy.

2. Managers give structure to a hotel and lodging through job specialization, organization, and

establishment of patterns of authority and span of control.

FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS


SURANA PG CENTRE

SEGMENTATION DEPARTMENTS OF FORTUNE SELECT TRINITY

There are more than 10 different departments are functioning in the traditional and executive

levels at the management of the hotel. These departments have diverse portfolios and

responsibilities headed by a person in charge of the entire operations undertaken within the

department. He may be a manger/supervisor of the respective department. The reason why hotels

are usually organized into functional blocks, with departments grouped according to the

particular work/activity that particular

Department is actively engrossed. In most scenarios a hotel industry is divided up into 5 different

departments such as rooms, Food and Beverages (usually this department is called as by its short

form as F&B), accounting, sales and Human Resource/HR. Each of these departments has their

own heads of the operations and they should have to report directly to the General Manager of

the hotel regarding the performance of their respective departments. These departments are sub-

divided into various other smaller organizational units. These sub-divisions represent refinement

of the work performed and the knowledge and the skills of the people in each subunit. As

organizations grow large in respect of its size and operations it carries out most hotels tend to

segment its operations to various departments with food preparation and food servicing as

separate entities. Since preparing food and serving it to the guest are usually of two different arts;

both the processes are done through different and separate works. Thus forming departments

along functional line is the most common method in a hotel organization. The department

engaged in the preparation of food is called as Production Department while the division

involved in the art of serving the prepared food to the guests in an eye-catchy and sumptuous

manner is known as the Servicing Department.


SURANA PG CENTRE

FRONT OFFICE DEPARTMENT

The front office is the command post for processing reservations, registering guests, settling

guest accounts (cashiering), and checking out guests. Front desk agents also handle the

distribution of guestroom keys and mail, messages or other information for guests. The most

visible part of the front office area is of course the front desk. The front desk can be a counter or,

in some luxury hotels, an actual desk where a guest can sit down and register.

Sell guestrooms; register guests and design guestrooms

SURANA PG CENTRE

The Front Office may be regarded as the show window of the hotel and hence must be well

designed in the first place and maintained in a well organized and orderly manner. Regardless of

how a hotel is organized into, the front office is always an essential focal point. Front Office is

the name given to all the functional units of a hotel which are situated in the front portion of the

hotel, that is, the lobby – is the place where the guests are received, provided information on the

products and services offered in the hotel, the luggage of the guests are handled, the accounts of

the guest are settled at their departure, and the guest’s problems, complaints and suggestions are

looked after. The front desk is the link between the guest and the hotel and represents the hotel to

the guest. And is a liaison between the hotel management and the coordination of all the guest

services. It serves as a main channel of both way communications i.e. from hotel to the guest and

guest to the hotel. Hotel terminology includes terms such as front-of the-house and back-of-the-

house. This front-of-the house term includes those portions of the hotel with which the guests

come in direct contact with during the period of their stay in the hotel, such as building exterior,

lobby, front desk, guest rooms, function rooms etc. The person who is regarded as the head of

the operation of the front-office desk is the Front-Office Manger. The nature of the front office

job is such that he is almost always crowded with various jobs. He should be able to match job

needs to time available for effective and efficient performance. Another responsibility of the

Front office manager is making daily plan of action by outlining work for the next day at the end

of each day. It includes listing all activities for the next day under ABC category as per the

urgency and importance of the job. It is also important to make flexible plans to fit

in emergencies. The assistant front-office manager’s main duty is aiding the front office manager

in supervising and coordinating the day-to-day operations of the front-office staff and resolves

internal problems. She/he co-ordinates staffing of mail and information and reservation clerks

with their supervisors.

The AM-front office should also be adept in dealing with problems arising from guest’s

complaints and reservation and room assignment activities. He should also be responsible for

any miscellaneous duties assigned by the front office manager. Another important position at the

front desk of the hotel is done by the reception assistant. The friendly welcome given by the

receptionist to a guest changes an impersonal hotel building in to a friendly and homely place

and his unfriendly, hostile and indifferent attitude may convert the guests experience in to an


SURANA PG CENTRE

unpleasant and uncomfortable stay. If the front office is the hub of the hotel then the receptionist

can be aptly called as the person ‘who keeps the hotel world moving’. The reception assistant

should be well informed of daily room availability status, and also he should have detailed

information regarding arrivals, their room requirements and expected departures of the

guests. The position of the reservation assistant is also important at the front-office department of

the hotel since the hotel’s good image can be maintained among the

Guests only if all the needs of the guests are taken care of, especially the guest’s requirements in

terms of his lodging. He should make proper updating in the reservation register and records in

order to have updated inventory of room availability. The reservation assistant may also carry

out amendments and cancellations intelligently and accurately. To keep the availability status

chart updated. Checkout reservation stationary and keep a satisfactory par stock of the same.

Type out advance reservation slips and maintains reservation racks and correspondence files and

in case of computers updates information in computers.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICE DEPARTMENT

The food and beverage service department is an integral place in any hotel which is responsible

for the systematic and the actual service of food and beverage to the general public or customers

as per the order in any F &B outlets. This department plays a vital role on the delivering the

accurate service of food and beverage by placing the orders from the hot or cold plates of kitchen

to the customers table in the proper and the hospitality manner.

This department in any hotel plays a vital role in the profitable process of the hotel business.

Among the total revenue collected in the hotel, about 40% contribution is directly accredited to F

& B Service department. This department is specialized by its output of the products that

satisfies customers demand for food and beverage. For the proper control and the effective

management of the total staffs and their duties, this department is divided into different units or

sections which are also called as an outlet. Each outlet is specialized for the special functions.

For the systematic and a good service process of any F & B outlet, presentation, time keeping,

order taking and the suggestive selling are the key element of a service to be maintained by

service staffs.

The staffing pattern of F & B department is basically divided into two parts. They involve the

service staffs and the kitchen staffs. In the modern concept of catering, this department generally

focuses on the product knowledge, salesmanship, customer’s relation and expectation rather than

the traditional style of service. The guest satisfaction is only ensured when the service.

F & B deals mainly with food and beverage service allied activities. Different divisions are there

in F & B like Restaurants, Specialty Restaurants, Coffee Shop (24 hrs.), Bar, Banquets, Room

service etc. Apart from that they have Utility services (Cleaning). A food and beverage

department in a hotel is usually guided by an F&B Director followed by an F& B manager. A

Food and Beverage Manager in a hotel should always be ready to undertake a variety tasks each

and every day. Some of the main important functions endowed on this specific department in a

hotel include,

may yield a competitive advantage among that specific hotel’s competitive set.

Food Servicing Department

Food service deals with the process of the delivery of the prepared food items onto the end

customers who ordered it. Service department should also lay special emphasis on the

importance of getting the orders delivered with an eye candy look and appearance.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

Human resources is exactly meant as ‘resources for human – within the workplace’. Its main

objective is to meet the organizational needs of the company it represents and the needs of the

people hired by that company for running its operations. Every organization needs its stack of

manpower to carry out its day-to-day operations. No establishment cannot operate without being

involved in some kind of transactions with the people in general. Hence HR department is drawn

with special emphasis as this department is responsible for all activities concerning to the

employees of an organization. In short HR department is the hub of the organization serving as

liaison between the organization and its employees. On the basis of the size of the company their

department is usually called as the Personnel department in medium–sized establishments, with a

limited number of managerial staff and is guided by a Personnel Manager. For larger and more

complex organizations with hundreds of departments and divisions, the task of managing the

workforce as a whole is much more demanding and intricate. Some of the most important

responsibilities to be carried out by the HR department include.

Employee recruitment & Selection

Employee compensation benefits

Employee relations

Policy formulation

As accompany and the requirements of a position evolve, a company needs to take certain

measures to ensure that the highly skilled workforce is in place. It is actually the responsibility of

the HR department to oversee the skills development of the company’s workforce. After

formulating the requirements criteria to fill up a vacant post in the organization, the HR

department of the company will call for application for the specific post from the eligible

candidates by way of advertising on news papers, televisions, mobile phones etc. Employee


SURANA PG CENTRE

compensation packages also come under the prerogative of the HR department. This covers

salaries, bonuses, vacation pay, sick leave pay, Workers' Compensation, and insurance policies

such as medical, dental, life.

The Human Resources Department is:-

Responsible for developing and administering a benefits compensation system that serves as an

incentive to ensure the recruitment and keep hold of top talent that will stay on with

the company. With the increased rise in unethical practices and misbehaviors taking place in

today’s workplace such as age, gender, race, and religion discrimination and sexual harassment,

there needs to be mandatory compliance with governing rules and regulations to ensure fair

treatment of employees. In short, employees need to know they have a place to turn when a

supervisor abuses his or her authority in anyway. Regardless of the organization's size, company

policies and procedures must be established to ensure order in the workplace. These policies and

procedures are put in place to provide each employee with an understanding of what is expected

of them. Similarly, these policies and procedural guidelines will assist hiring managers in

evaluating their employee's performance. These policies can be established company-wide or

used to define each department's function. It is Human Resource's responsibility to collaborate

with department managers on the formulation of these policies and regulations to ensure a

cohesive organization.

HR Head Assistant HR Manager HR Executive HR Co-coordinator

Training Department

Training is the process that involves an expert working with learners to transfer to them certain

areas of knowledge or skills to improve in their current jobs. Training Department is considered

to be a stand-by unit of their department. The primary function of this department is to empower

and equip new recruits to the hotel to such a level where they can deliver their maximum to the

company’s growth. All the activities undertaken in this department is guided and supervised by

the training Manager


SURANA PG CENTRE

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

A hotel’s accounting department is keeping track of the many business transactions that occur in

the hotel. The accounting department does more than simply keep the books. Financial

management is perhaps a more appropriate description of what the accounting department does.

Whereas the control department is concerned with cost control guidelines by way of reducing in

investment, reduction in operating cost, control of food service cost, control of beverage cost,

labor cost control etc. In most hotels the person in charge of the finance department of the hotel

is called the Chief Financial Officer. Usually he is addresses by the short-form of his designation

as CFO. In most major hotels, the CFO or Finance Controller/Manager ranks among the top two

or three decision makers in the hotel hierarchy. No organization can survive without a very

strong financial vigor. The finance controller is responsible for presenting a Financial and

budgetary programs which can strengthen management’s control of hotel’s operating expenses

and help determine the profitability of the property. Specifically forecasting gives owners a

projected level of sales, while budget alert owners and operators alike to significant expenditures

that are on the horizon or predictable shortfalls in revenues. Used together, forecast and budgets

can provide a bench-Mark for sales intensive programs, executive-compensation bonuses,

incentive based management fees and capital expenditure. The administration and department of

accounting and finance coordinate management and staff functions. This includes extensive

contact with our shareholders, other partners. The department of accounting and finance is

responsible for accounting, payroll, budgets and cash flow management. The department of

Information Technology (IT) is also managed by the Finance department in most hotels.

The following shown chart is the common hierarchy of the positions in the Finance Department

in 5 star hotels. But it cannot be guaranteed that the same structure is followed by all the 5 star

hotels. It may depend upon the size and the scale of operations of the respective hotels.

SURANA PG CENTRE

Accounts Payable

A key area in accounting, accounts payable ensures that all bills are paid on time

and all discounts are taken minimizing the costs of the hotel. Accounts payable

clerks work closely with the purchasing department to verify that all invoices to

be paid are indeed invoices of the hotel.

Assistant Controller

In a big hotel, you may see one, or a few, assistant controllers. In smaller hotels,

there may not be any. The controller divides the various functions to be performed

so that the workload will be even. For example, one assistant might be responsible

for daily transactions while another works on special projects, budgets, analyses,

and the like.

Guest and City Ledgers

A hotel keeps two ledgers: the guest ledger is associated with the guests staying

at the hotel while the city ledger contains all other billings. It is important that

the accounting department has a person in accounts receivable working with the

city ledger so the hotel is able to bill and collect revenues due.

Night Audit

Night auditors get their name because of the hours they work. At the end of the

day after most hotel guests have retired, these auditors begin recording charges to

guests’ accounts and verifying the revenue for the hotel. However, with computers

and various technologies, the hotel industry can post charges instantaneously. Some

hotels have actually changed the night auditors to become day auditors.

Banquet Auditor

Besides revenues charged to guest rooms, a large hotel earns the bulk of its food


SURANA PG CENTRE

and beverage revenues through banquets. The banquet auditor’s function is to verify

the correct revenue for billing. This individual works closely with the banquet

staff, the sales office staff, and the accounts receivable clerks.

Credit

A big hotel may have its own credit manager whose function is to check and grant

credit. In today’s business world, many transactions are done on credit rather than

cash or cashier checks. It is, therefore, the credit manager’s responsibility to conduct

such investigations to be sure that a person or company is creditworthy.

Food and Beverage Controller

This is a fun and challenging position, as it has both accounting and food and beverage

components. While performing all analyses of food cost percentage, yields

on meat, and menu costing, the food and beverage controller also works with the

chef to design new menu items, taste new products, and even be a mystery diner

to taste-test the menus in other foodservice establishments.

Front-Office Cashiers

The duties of a front-office cashier are often incorporated with the front-office

personnel. When guests check out, it is the duty of these cashiers to charge the

guests the correct amount and secure a form of payment.

General Cashier

Pause for a minute and think how many cash banks there are in a large hotel: a

few at the front office, at least one in the restaurant, at least one in the gift shop,

and so on. The general cashier is the person who is in charge of all the cash banks

in the hotel. He or she also makes all deposits of checks and credit card receipts.


SURANA PG CENTRE

Operations Analyst

this is a nice position to have in a hotel. An operation analyst performs analyses

to help managers operate the hotel more effectively. From guests’ statistics to revenue

trends, the operations analyst does it all. However, not all hotels are able to

afford an analyst on the payroll. If this is the case, an assistant controller often

performs these duties. For smaller hotels where there is not an accounting office

on the property, this function is done at the regional level.

Payroll

Payroll employees calculate the pay rate with the hours worked to do the payroll

so pay checks are released on time. Payroll functions also include filing all payroll

taxes and tip credits for tipped employees, as well as keeping track of vacation,

sick pay, and other payroll-related deductions.

Systems Manager

A systems manager is not depicted in Illustration above. Since the various accounting

functions cover the entire hotel operation, the systems manager or systems analyst,

whose job is to take care of all technology issues, is normally founded within

the accounting department. In a smaller hotel, the controller or an assistant controller

may take on this responsibility. Normally, this position is found at a regional

or corporate level and systems analysts will be dispatched to assist the property

when needed.


SURANA PG CENTRE

SALES AND MARKETING DEPARTMENT

Marketing is the study and management of the exchange process. It involves the things that the

property will do to select a target market and stimulate or alter that market demand for the

property services.

A marketing manager in the hotel industry is responsible for maximizing a hotel's revenues by

developing programs to increase occupancy and make profitable use of its accommodation,

meeting and leisure facilities. A hotel marketing manager must maintain awareness of the factors

that influence the hotel industry and gain a deep understanding of the needs and attitudes of a

hotel’s customers. A hotel marketing manager will be responsible for coordinating marketing

and promotional activities to meet customer needs, working closely with other hotel staff to

ensure customers are satisfied with the facilities and their time there.

A typical hotel should usually have Sales & Marketing division. However, if the staff size,

volume business, hotel size, expected group arrivals is low enough, the hotel might have

marketing staff placed under the reservation department (i.e. No need for a Sales & Marketing

Division).

A typical Sales & Marketing Division is composed of four different departments:

a) Sales

b) Convention Services

c) Advertising

d) Public Relations

Marketing and sales division can be varied with the size, type, and budget of the hotel to hotel.

Small hotel only have one person who is handling all the sales activities related to the hotel

business. But large hotel have organized sales and marketing division with no of key personnel.

A sales department is particularly very essential in large hotels and those with convention and

banquet facilities. The General manger participates actively in this area for and basic reason.

calls. The GM and Sales Manager prepare a budget for the year sale of rooms and the conference

Purchase Department

While operating a hotel is supposed to be a difficult task, managing the entire procurement

process (for such a unit) is even more so. The purchase department handles the task of

procurement yet all departments play a crucial role in it. That said technology ensures that inter-

departmental activities takes place flawlessly. Although purchase has now become dependent on

technology for managing inventories and order status, it was originally a manual job. From

selection of products to deciding on a vendor, this department rests on the human ability of In

most modern hotels, the installation and service of elevator systems is generally the province of

the elevator manufacturer, and hotels typically have extended maintenance agreements for the

elevators. Most engineering departments, however, closely monitor the operation of the elevator

systems. In modern high-rise hotels with high speed elevator service, the slightest problem with

that service should be quickly and easily identified and reported to the contractors. It is generally

the responsibility of the engineering department to monitor these services and their contracts

closely and carefully.

SECURITY DEPARTMENT

The security of guests, employees, personal property and the hotel itself is an overriding concern

for today’s hoteliers. In the past, most security precautions concentrated on the prevention of

theft from guests and the hotel. However, today such violent crimes as murder and rape have

become a problem for some hotels. Unfortunately, crime rates in most major’s cities are rising.

Hence today security department also concentrate on these additional criminal activities too. The

main position in the security department is of the Assistant Security Manager. The department

includes the fire and safety officer and the duty guards. The primary function of the security

department is to provide property surveillance and protection to the guest. The latter is more

important for the security department. In the hotel there are two variants of security staff working

round the clock indifferent shifts. First is the direct security staff of the hotel working in three

different shift of 8 hour duration? Considering flawless security to the guests, all the guest rooms

of the hotel are installed with spring glass and smoke detectors and automatic alarm

system. There is a central security office working inside the hotel with all the modern fire

Fighting equipments such as fire extinguishers, dry powder, and other fire dousing facilities. As

a part of the security provision both to the hotel’s property and the guests the entire geographical

area of the hotel is divided in to 3 portions such as Beach Viewpoint, Tide point and the Club –

these three points are all together known as the ‘assembly point’ . The most common methods

adopted by the fire and safety wing of the hotel (it came under the security department) are liquid

carbon dioxide, dry powder etc. The security control post of the hotel will be functioning on 24 x

7with office secretary, night and day supervisor, and security officer. The security setup at the

hotel is faultless since the hotel cannot compromise on the safety of its valuable guests. All the

activities of the security department is controlled and supervised by the main security officer. He

is also responsible for conducting training programmes on security and fire fighting to the

security staff of the hotel.

HOUSE KEEPING

The good Housekeeper, because of the need taco-operate with many other department heads,

must possess a high degree of tactics well as good organizing ability. The Assistant Housekeeper

is the deputy to the Executive Housekeeper of a hotel. His/her manages the resources given by

the executive housekeeper to achieve the common objectives of cleanliness, maintenance and

attractiveness in a given period of time. Assistant Housekeeper’s accountability normally ends

with the completion of the shift. The position of a Housekeeping supervisor is normally occupied

by a competent, personable individual who knows his/her employees well, and is, above all, able

to meet the public. This requirement is so important as far as a hotel is concerned since the

supervisors are actually representatives of the Executive House keeper in the areas assigned to

them. Housekeeping draws special mention since a hotel survives on the sale of rooms, food and

beverage and other minor operating services such as laundry, spa, clubs etc. Of these, the sale of

rooms constitutes a minimum of 50 %. In other words the largest margin of profit comes from

room sales because rooms, once made, can be sold over and over again. A good hotel operation

ensures optimum room sales to being in maximum profit. The room sale is dependent on, apart

from several other things, the quality of the room décor, room facilities, and cleanliness of the

room and how safe it is.

Basically the main responsibility of the housekeeping department is to ensure that the guest

rooms and the entire public area within the hotel are neat and clean all the time. But the cleaning

duty of the kitchen area is done by Kitchen steward. Cleaning of the lawn area of the hotel is also

set apart from the housekeeping department while the same is carried out by the gardening

division of the hotel. The person who is made in charge of the entire operations being performed

in this specific department is Housekeeping Executive. The Executive Housekeeper is

responsible for the total cleanliness and the, maintenance and the aesthetic upkeep of the hotel.

This end is achieved with the resources made available to his/her of manpower, materials,

machines, money, space and time. The position of the Executive Housekeeper is considered to be

one of the most important positions in the hotels since it carries tremendous responsibility for the

SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

ITC is a very strong and established brand name all over the world. It has a base of loyal

customers at local level as well as at international level. It has one of the biggest

international booking structures. Whatever the situation and scenario may be, corporate

and government agencies always prefer for their functions, seminars, and lodging their

guest and customers. ITC Guest Rewards program is the world’s largest and most

preferred frequent guest program and is strength for customer retention.

Natural and cultural diversity: India has a rich cultural heritage. The "unity in

diversity" tag attracts most tourists. The coastlines, sunny beaches, backwaters of

Kerala, snow-capped Himalayas and the quiescent lakes are incredible.

Government support: The government has realized the importance of tourism and

has proposed a budget of Rs. 540 crore for the development of the industry. The

priority is being given to the development of the infrastructure and of new tourist

destinations and circuits. The Department of Tourism (DOT) has already started the

"Incredible India" campaign for the promotion of tourism in India.

Increase in the market share: India's share in international tourism and hospitality

market is expected to increase over the long-term. New budget and star hotels are

being established. Foreign hospitality players are heading towards Indian markets.


SURANA PG CENTRE

WEAKNESSES

Poor support infrastructure: Though the government is taking necessary steps,

many more things need to be done to improve the infrastructure. In 2012, the total

expenditure made in this regard was US $150 billion in China compared to US$ 21

billion in India.

Susceptible to political events: The internal security scenario and social unrest also

hamper the foreign tourist arrival rates. The lack of adequate recognition for the

tourism industry has been hampering its growth prospects. Whatever steps are being

taken by the government are implemented at a slower pace.

OPPORTUNITIES

ITC has the opportunity to retain its customers by providing good quality food, as food

quality is not up to mark.

In light of post 11 September, foreign delegations and missions are bound to come to the

federal capital, which opens an opportunity for ITC to attract new business.

Rising income: Owing to the rise in income levels, Indians have more spare money to

spend, which is expected to enhance leisure tourism.

Open sky benefits: With the open sky policy, the travel and tourism industry has seen an

increase in business. Increased airline activity has stimulated demand and has helped

improve the infrastructure.


SURANA PG CENTRE

THREATS

Emergence of new competition in form of new hotels: Food Street poses a threat for

their restaurant business. Government policies and economic recession can adversely

affect their business.

Fluctuations in international tourist arrivals: The total dependency on foreign tourists

can be risky, as there are wide fluctuations in international tourism. Domestic tourism

needs to be given equal importance and measures should be taken to promote it.

Increasing competition: Several international majors like the Four Seasons, Shangri-La

and Aman Resorts are entering the Indian markets. Two other groups - the Carlson Group

and the Marriott chain - are also looking forward to join this race. This will increase the

competition for the existing Indian hotel majors.
