A hotel manager is looking to enhance the initial impression that hotel guests have when they check in. Believed to contribute to initial impressions is the time it takes to deliver a guest’s luggage to his or her room after check-in. A random sample of 20 deliveries on a particular day were selected from Wing A of the hotel, and a random sample of 20 deliveries were selected in Wing B (i.e., the Excel tab LUGGAGE). (a) Identify which type of test is most appropriate for you to use, justify your answer. (b) Determine whether or not the mean delivery time differs for the two wings of the hotel (use α = .05). (c) If faster luggage delivery time is positively related to guests’ initial impression, which wing(s) should receive the highest impression ratings?

The results of a survey comparing the costs of staying one night in a full-service hotel (including food, beverages, and telephone calls, but not taxes or gratuities) for several major cities are given in the following table. Do the data suggest that there is a significant difference among the average costs of one night in a full-service hotel for the five major cities? Maximum Hotel Costs per Night ($) New York Los Angeles Atlanta Houston Phoenix 289 196 184 292 262 345 214 242 296 262 348 216 333 337 305 277 192 298 257 258 266 262 195 217 199 Step 1 of 2 : Find the value of the test statistic to test for a difference between cities. Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.

It is said that Bed & Breakfast (B&Bs) can contribute to a more ‘authentic’ travel experience for tourists rather than hotel chains. It also provides mutual benefits for both the visitor and the operator. While licensing can be a concern, the HKTB’s hotel rating system being used is also considered not applicable to rate the ‘quality’ of B&Bs for several reasons. If the HKTB’s hotel rating system is applied to rate the B&Bs in Hong Kong, explain how it will disadvantage or advantage the grading of a B&B based on the FIVE key indicators being used in this stage.

A combination of quantitative indicators:

1. Facilities (F&B, IT, Business and Health Related)

2. Location

3. Staff to Room ratio

4. Average Achieved Room Rate

5. Business Mix

2. Demand for hotel rooms in Tallahassee takes two possible values: on game days, demand is described by the demand curve q = 100−p, while on non-game-days demand is described by the demand curve q = 60 − 2p.

(a) Suppose that the hotel price on game days is ph = 80. What quantity is demanded at this price?

(b) Find the inverse demand curve on non-game-days. Assuming that the price on game days is ph = 80 as above, what price would induce the same quantity demanded on non-game-days as on game days?

(c) Plot the demand curves on game days and on non-game-days. Pay careful attention to the price and quantity intercepts for both curves.

(d) Assuming the price on non-game-days is as you found in (ii), what is consumer surplus in this market on non-game-days? What is consumer surplus on game days?

(e) Suppose that you encounter the following claim: “Because the hotel price is higher on game days than on non-game-days, consumer surplus in the hotel market must be lower on game days.” What is wrong with this claim?
