Sammanfattning

This case study gives students insights into the complexities of balancing profitability with sustainability in the hospitality industry and the strategic considerations involved in pricing decisions. It explores a crucial decision confronted by Sofie, CEO of SlopeSide Hotel & Spa in Gudauri, Georgia, a country located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. With increasing competition and declining occupancy rates, Sofie must decide between raising room prices to cover the costs of new sustainability initiatives or adopting a dynamic pricing model with sustainability discounts. Students will be asked to analyze the financial implications of different pricing strategies, comparing the impact of increased room prices on projected revenue versus dynamic pricing with sustainability discounts. They will evaluate the potential risks and benefits of offering a sustainability discount, considering how doing so might influence the hotel’s strategic approach and overall market positioning. Additionally, students will assess the profitability variance between static and dynamic pricing models for different occupancy rates, including the significance of the break-even occupancy rate in each scenario. Through this analysis, students will gain insights into the complexities of balancing profitability with sustainability in the hospitality industry and the strategic considerations involved in pricing decisions.
