Market Segmentation:
The Key to Success in Hospitality

From a marketing perspective, a hotel would like to reach only those who have a reason to travel to the destination. This minimizes the acquisition cost and increases the bottom line. Analyzing a poorly structured and irrelevant segmentation will make the wrong marketing, sales, and revenue decisions, which might heavily impact market share and the bottom line.
