Students are to conduct secondary research on the hotel and gather information about the hotels' history, management ownership and structure, target markets, product and marketing activities and their social media plugs, recent accolades, awards or press/news releases and customer online reviews.

Students should also consider external factors in their research such as competing hotels, location, and economics of the region.

Based on their findings, students are to prepare a two-page SWOT analysis in APA 6th edition format and writing style (in-text citations and references).
