1. Basic concepts and elements of hotel planning

1. Basic concepts

"Planning is strategy and planning, which is to systematically and comprehensively conceive and plan a future work or event on the basis of investigation and analysis of relevant materials, formulate and select feasible implementation plans, and plan countermeasures according to target requirements and environmental changes. From this, it can be considered that hotel planning refers to the operational process that hotel planners creatively design and plan hotel business plans, plan business countermeasures and then put them into practice in order to achieve the objectives of hotel organization through investigation, analysis and demonstration of hotel market and hotel environment. In short, hotel management planning is an operational process of planning and conceiving a hotel organization or hotel products.

2. Basic elements

Hotel planning generally consists of four basic elements: planner, planning target, planning object and planning scheme. Planner is the creative subject of hotel planning activities and hotel planning system, and occupies the primary position in several elements of hotel planning; Planning goal is the motive force and guide of hotel planning, and its purpose is to clarify such issues as "what to plan", "to what extent to plan" and "what kind of planning effect to achieve". The planning object can be a hotel organization, a department, a product or a thing; Planning scheme is a kind of materialization of planning thought, but due to different angles of planning activities, different planning levels and standards, planning schemes will have different styles. In any case, planning is a complex system engineering, not a simple accumulation of several elements. Therefore, it is very important to organically coordinate and optimize the integration of related elements in planning activities.

2. Planning book to reverse the old hotel's business depression

1) Planning theme: listening to Wenzhou mode lectures, eating dishes from famous Wenzhou chefs and watching Wenzhou manage hotels-taking over the management plan of Hotel A

2) Planner and planning date: Yang Jianying (August, 1998)

3) Planning purpose and planning idea: Hotel A has been in business for nearly two years. Entrusted with the operation and management of Hotel A, how to make the hotels with poor social reputation and numerous doors full of guests? Hotels and individuals alone can't realize the vision of turning things around in a short time. Only by relying on appealing government departments can people who have consumption potential in enterprises and institutions and can become hotel customers come to the hotel at once. But how to make government departments play this function and advantage reasonably and legally? According to the concept of big marketing, when the interests of enterprises and society are unified, the political forces of society will have a positive effect on enterprises. (3) To help plan or propose solutions and provide conditions for problems that are widely concerned by the government and society, which will inevitably attract the attention of the government. When the government adopts the suggestions to solve the problems and implements them, enterprises will inevitably share the incidental results.

At present, during the transition period from planned economy to market economy, enterprises in our city merged and closed down, and laid-off workers often sat in and marched at the government gate, which disturbed the normal social order and the normal work of the government. In addition, some people in the society especially want to be private bosses, but they don't know how to be them. Wenzhou's market economy is particularly developed, and state-owned and private enterprises can develop simultaneously. There is no such thing as laid-off workers. If enterprises have difficulties, they don't look for the mayor to find a market. Everyone in Wenzhou can be the boss. Why? These experiences are worth learning from, not to mention the fact that the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China advocates learning the Wenzhou model throughout the country. In view of the social resources that I have worked in Wenzhou, I decided to implement the business strategy of playing Wenzhou brand for Hotel A, and planned the activity of "Listening to Wenzhou Model Lecture, Eating Famous Chefs' Dishes and Watching Wenzhou Manage Hotels", which was set up by the hotel, led by the government and attended by the first and second leaders of enterprises and institutions. Taking this as an opportunity, the hotel will carry out comprehensive training for the interior-improve the service level and quality, partially transform-introduce Wenzhou catering methods; Externally, carry out comprehensive social public relations, reshape the image of the hotel, quickly gather popularity and reverse the situation of poor management.
