  • HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2016
    2016 EDITION | Price US$800 SUMMARY THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2015) Setthawat Hetrakul Assistant Manager Daniel J Voellm Managing Partner HVS.com HVS | Level 21, The Centre, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong The HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2016 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our third annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2015. This third edition will continue to serve owners as a reference for which operator has a strong presence in their home market and in potential future markets further ashore as well as key feeder markets across the region. With China rapidly becoming a strong outbound market, brands and operators that are well positioned there are better positioned to welcome Chinese travelers overseas. Branding, anchored by the management expertise and distribution power that operators bring to a hotel property, is becoming more and more critical. In the face of increasing competition, non-branded properties often perform at a discount to their branded peers due to lack of awareness and quality assurance. Running a hotel is no easy task and owners have a tendency to view operators’ fees as unjustified for the value they deliver. It is essential that owner and operator align their interest from very early in the process and work towards a common goal, rather than start their long-term relationship from conflicting standpoints. In this third edition, we have captured close to one million existing and more than half a million pipeline rooms spread over 6,546 properties.

  • Service Guarantees and Strategic Service Quality Performance Metrics at Radisson Hotels Worldwide,” by Arthur V
    Reprinted with permission of Journal of Strategic Performance Measurement, “Service Guarantees and Strategic Service Quality Performance Metrics at Radisson Hotels Worldwide,” by Arthur V. Hill, Susan Geurs, Julie M. Hays, George John, David W. Johnson, and Richard A. Swanson (December 1998), pp. 27-31. Copyright © by RIA/WG&L; all rights reserved. SERVICE GUARANTEES AND STRATEGIC SERVICE QUALITY PERFORMANCE METRICS AT RADISSON HOTELS WORLDWIDE Arthur V. Hill*, Susan Geurs, Julie M. Hays, George John, David W. Johnson, and Richard A. Swanson Radisson Hotels Worldwide recently pilot tested a service guarantee in twenty-eight of its hotels. The pilot hotels implemented the guarantee with a complete training program but with no advertising. The guarantee read simply: Our goal at Radisson is 100% guest satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with something, please let us know, we'll make it right or you won't pay. The response in the pilot hotels was amazing. In just three months, many of Radisson's service quality performance metrics in these hotels improved significantly. Customer satisfaction, measured by Radisson's own metrics and by a market research firm, showed increased “willingness to return” and “percent advocates.” Radisson also found that the guarantee decreased employee turnover, increased utilization, and increased profitability for the pilot hotels. A group of researchers at the University of Minnesota administered a survey to both management and front-desk hotel employees before and after the guarantee was implemented in the test hotels. The survey found statistically significant correlation between a new service quality metric called “employee motivation and vision” (EMV) and Radisson's service quality performance metrics.
