Summary of the Proposed Subject Property The feasibility study considers development of a proposed hotel in Downtown Berryville on or proximate to Main Street. The subject site has average access to major roadway (State Route 7) because of its proposed location in downtown Berryville's Main Street district, limiting its visibility and ease of ingress and egress from a major roadway. While the proposed site is proximate to some demand generators, the low density of commercial developments in the area is projected to be a weakness. Leisure attractions in Berryville and Clarke County including vineyards, historic manors and event venues, and Barns of Rose Hill will help mitigate this weakness. Visibility is considered to be average, relative to other historic downtown locations, due to its proposed multi- level configuration, assumed signage, and on or proximate to Main Street. State Route 7, which connects Berryville to neighboring Winchester and Leesburg, is less than a mile north from central downtown.

    “Service Innovation: Managing Innovation from Idea Generation to Innovative Offer”

    “Service Innovation: Managing Innovation from Idea Generation to Innovative Offer” Date: August 2010 Author: A.H. (Hanneke) Vos University of Twente Faculty of Management and Governance Master thesis, Business Administration, Service Management Track Supervisory committee Internal supervisors: prof.dr.ir. L.J.M. Nieuwenhuis, University of Twente prof.dr. C.P.M. Wilderom, University of Twente External supervisor: F.D. Spaargaren Msc Exser, Dutch centre for service innovation prof.dr. F. Kwakman, Nyenrode Business University dr. M.J. Flikkema, VU Amsterdam Project initiator: Exser, Dutch centre for service innovation Page 1 van 91 Abstract This descriptive report has explored the relation between management in service firms, service characteristics and firm characteristics during the innovation processes of service firms operating at the Dutch market. The research items have been profiled on the basis of a theoretical review of the service management literature. Differences in definitions, typologies, approaches, schools of thought, characteristics, innovation types, dominant innovation motives, service design, organizational features and management have been considered, and it is proposed that the organization of an innovation process within service firms is contingent with the type of service offered. The report concentrates on the relation between service firm characteristics, service characteristics and management aspects of the innovation process within service firms. In order to highlight these differences, the service framework of Slivestro et al. 1992, extended with a new description “installation service” and the innovation descriptions of the community innovation survey (CIS) extended with the new description “recombinatorial innovation” are used to guide the research activities. Research in service innovation is highly relevant since great changes take part in this growing industry.

    Leisure and Tourism Sector Review

    JUNE 2020 Leisure and Tourism Sector Review 01872 229 000 www.atlanticmarkets.co.uk www.atlanticmarkets.co.uk The recent market collapse has weighed heavily on certain sectors more than others, undoubtedly one of the biggest casualties is those relating to travel, leisure and tourism. Whilst some sectors are now in full swing recovery, the travel stocks are still bumping along lows with sporadic moves up and down in the short term as the market wrestles with short term impact Vs long term prospects. As we see global economies ease lockdowns and talk emerges of international travel starting again, all eyes turn to the sector and the potential for recovery. The firms involved will be sure the recovery is on as we come out of lockdowns but that is only one issue for them, they also need to rebuild consumer confidence. Air travel, cruise ships, and package holidays could be a tough sell this summer. Social distancing rules and the threat of quarantining mean popular holiday activities will be more restricted than usual. Tui Travel Ticker: TUI 6 month high: 979p Brief History TUI Travel PLC is a British leisure travel group headquartered in Crawley, West Sussex. The company was formed in September 2007 by the merger of First Choice Holidays PLC and the Tourism Division of TUI AG. The company was originally founded in 1923 in Berlin. In 2000 it acquired Thomson Travel and in 2002 bought Hapag Lloyd, which itself owned the travel firm TUI (formerly Touristik Union International) and renamed itself TUI AG. In June 2014 TUI AG and TUI Travel announced the two companies would be merged.

The selection of an appropriate franchise affiliation affects a property’s ability to compete in its local market, generate profits, and achieve a desirable image and market orientation. Because the success of a hotel is based primarily on the cash flow generated, owners and lenders must weigh the benefits of a brand affiliation against the total cost of such a commitment. Please note that the study results are not indicative of the impact an individual brand may have on a hotel’s overall profitability because only the costs, and not the benefits of the franchise affiliations, have been analyzed. Furthermore, the study does not reflect, nor does it claim to address, operating results of any one brand or any particular brand affiliation upon any single hotel property. The 2018 U.S. Franchise Fee Guide is meant to illustrate a basic comparison among franchise fees charged by participants. HVS has extensive experience with assisting clients in selecting the appropriate franchise and/or management brand for their proposed or existing hotels.
