                                                                  Media & Hospitality
          Delving deeper into the concept of Hospitality, it can be
          explained as the experience that a visitor, a customer or a
          guest undergoes when he/she comes into contact with any
          aspect of the service that they have decided to engage with
          i.e., visiting a Hotel or Restaurant or using a Airline or
          going on a cruise.

          It can also be linked to the experience of a private dinner
          party or the courtesy/service extended at a hotel chain; it
          is basically the same thing but on a different scale.

          Hospitality can also be defined as the act of being
          hospitable. In other words, welcoming the guest, being
          helpful and providing a service to someone who is visiting
          the restaurant, the hotel or even the country. This extends
          in todays world to Multibrand Retail outlets.

          Extending a extremely high level of Hospitality is the
          single most important factor in tourism, travel and leisure
          industry as it is what differentiates.

          From the time a guest lands at the Hotel, the Club or even
          the country till the time he/she leaves – each experience
          that they undergo in that timeframe they are in contact
          with the service reflects on the level of Hospitality.

          like books, newspapers, magazines, audio & video
          recordings, radio, movies, television and the internet.

          The rapid growth of various digital based technologies
          like broadband, internet and have also led to social media
          platforms that are today also considered as Media – this
          media being created exclusively by consumers.

          today every Individual is also a form of Media.

          supported by Web Designers, HTML Experts, Bloggers

          Radio

          This form of Media can be termed as the first “Digital”
          Media where signals are transmitted through space by
          electromagnetic radiation. The frequency of such
          transmissions range between 30Khz – 300Ghz. These
          transmissions are called Radio Waves.

          Today Radio takes many forms, including wireless
          networks, mobile communications and radio
          broadcasting.

          Before Television became a widespread phenomena, radio
          broadcasting included the airing of mainly news and
          music. Over a period of time this was expanded to include
          the voice dramatized versions of popular dramas and
          popular plays as well many other forms of entertainment.

          This period lasted for nearly 30 years and was called the
          Golden Era of Radio.

          Even today Radio is a very popular form of
          communication for to prospective consumers for
          Restaurants and Hotels and also for the Travel & Tourism
          Industry which also gets included in the Hospitality
          Industry.

          Hotels & Restaurants and other Hospitality companies

          consumers . They would typically ask some trivia

          Television

          In the 1950s with the advent of Television right down to
          the individual home level, the media industry underwent a
          complete transformation and the concept of moving
          images changed our lives.

          In todays scenario, the reach of Television across a wide
          spectrum of audiences makes it a powerful and attractive
          medium for advertisers.

          Most television networks and stations sell blocks of
          broadcast time to advertisers ("sponsors") in order to
          fund their programming. These block are used by the
          Hospitality Industry to communicate the Product and
          services that they offer – Cuisine, Rooms, Experience and
          more.

          The internet has had a deep impact on the media
          consumption habits of consumers’.

          In addition the number of devices that are using the
          connectivity of the Internet is altering traditional media
          and entertainment consumption behavior. Internet TV,
          Internet Radio and Online News are instant and
          interactive mediums which allow active consumption as
          against the traditional media which offers passive
          consumption, new media facilitates interactivity. This is
          driving audiences instant gratification of their ‘taste
          spaces’ as it becomes available.

        platforms that are available for the Hospitality
        Industry to reach out to prospective customers, it does
        become important to see the reach that each of these
        different Media have.

        I have used various research data from leading Media
        research houses like KPMG, International Newspaper
        Marketing Association, Audit Bureau of Circulation,
        Comscore Data, Alexia and more.

          The overall M&E market in India is expected to grow at a
          compounded annual growth rate of 15 percent
          per annum over the next five years, to reach INR 1.4
          trillion in 2016.

          The potential for increase in media penetration, growing
          importance of regional markets, increasing consumption
          in tier 2 and 3 cities, impact of regulatory changes, more
          focused consumer research, innovation in content,
          marketing and delivery platforms to serve different
          niches, increasing device penetration like mobiles, tablets,
          PCs etc., all point towards a very positive future for the
          industry.

          The Indian M&E industry grew from INR 652 billion in
          2010 to INR 728 billion in 2011, registering an overall
          growth of 12 percent.

          Backed by strong consumption in Tier 2 and 3 cities,
          continued growth of regional media and fast increasing
          new media businesses, the industry is estimated to achieve
          a growth of 13 percent in 2012 to touch INR 823 billion.

          Going forward, the sector is projected to grow at a
          healthy CAGR of 14.9 percent to reach INR 1,457 billion
          by 2016.

       The media industry is an ad dependent business and the
       revenues that each of the Media platforms have over the
       years is detailed in the table below.

       With various advertisers using different Media platforms to
       communicate their message, it is no surprise that the
       revenues that each of the media platforms have made over
       the years have constantly grown.

       Growth drivers for multiplex exhibitors
       Digital technology continues to revolutionize media

       reach across diverse and regional markets, and the
       development of targeted media content.

       There has been increased proliferation and consumption of
       digital media content – be it newspapers and magazines,
       digital film prints, and online video and music or entirely
       new categories such as social media.

       For example, the print players are increasing becomingly
       available on the digital platforms
       in order to establish a connect with current readers as well
       as to establish a relationship with new readers.

       Accordingly, online advertising spends have seen a spurt in
       growth vis a vis spends on traditional media.

       At the same time, the ability to develop models that get
       consumers to pay for online content is still limited.

       Currently, advertising is the primary source of revenue
       online but we expect new revenue models to emerge as the
       payment infrastructure develops and consumers begin to
       pay for content.

       Further, understanding and tracking online media behavior
       of consumers would enable companies to progress to the
       next level of their online strategy and monetization.

       Change is also being brought about by the
       proliferation of screens – making media consumption more
       personal than ever. Smart phones, tablets, PCs, gaming
       devices, etc. all form the foundation of a new wave in media
       usage.

       This is gradually impacting the way content is being
       created and distributed. Multiple media including TV, films,
       news, radio, music etc are being impacted with this change.

       For example, radio listenership has increased largely due to
       out of home mobile listenership.

       The number of internet users is expected to cross 546
       million users by 2016, increasingly driven by wireless
       connections. The increase in tablet penetration in future can
       have a big impact on internet usage and in particular, video
       consumption, as its large screen allow consumption of more
       detailed and interactive content.

       The Hospitality Industry will require a re-look at how they
       promote themselves with a focus on creating a more user
       friendly experience for the increasingly savvy and ‘new age’
       consumers . The Media Mix will require a rethink and also
       how Media is used away from the traditional pure play
       Advertising.

       As consumers evolve and with India’s growing young
       population, there is a heightened need to engage them
       across platforms and experiences. There is a greater need
       for integration and innovation across traditional and new
       media, with changing media consumption habits and
       preferences for niche content.

       Media companies today have no choice but to
       provide more touch points to engage with audiences.

       An example of a very successful 360 degree marketing
       campaign was in the marketing of ‘RA One’, which had one
       of the longest and the most elaborate marketing campaigns
       in order to build audience anticipation. It effectively used
       traditional and new media in the form of unveiling its first
       look on a popular social networking website. In addition, the
       campaign also leveraged digital and merchandising
       platforms to its advantage. This surround experience is
       “Activation’.

       Activation in the Media Industry has become a key service
       now provided by many media companies.

       Players in the print and radio industry have been building a
       strong value proposition in customizing campaigns for
       advertisers which include marketing across multiple media
       platforms, including organizing events for them.

       India is a young nation and in many ways the youth is
       driving change in terms of strategies of media players in the
       industry due to their different media consumption habits
       and preferences.

       Since youth is an important target segment for a large
       number of heavy advertising sectors like Hospitality,
       Telecom, Financial Services etc., media players are trying to
       engage with young audiences in innovative ways in order to
       grab attention and build stickiness.

       Print players across the world are exploring new ways to
       revamp their readership as the young generation looks to
       social media, television and online channels for its dose of
       daily news rather than wait for the next day.

       Not only are they breaking news and promoting their
       brands and shows on portals, search engines and social
       media, They are also organizing events and promotions
       especially targeting the youth, for example, Dainik Bhaskar
       launched The Brain Hunt 2012 across 13 states with an aim
       to develop reading habits among school students.

       hospitality and leisure (THL), as well as some thoughts
       around managing and innovating in the face of strategic
       issues such as heightened competition and eroding consumer
       loyalty.

       THL industry companies may have reason to be optimistic for
       renewed growth and for the power of technology to transform
       the consumer experience and for the opportunity to capitalize
       on emerging market growth.

          with Adam Weissenberg – Vice Chairman, Deloitte, USA

          What are some of the key issues facing the THL sector in
          2013?

          Heightened competition in a multi-channel environment, the
          pressing need for brand differentiation, and emerging
          market opportunities and challenges highlight strategic
          considerations that companies in the THL sector face in the
          evolving marketplace.

          1. Heightened domestic and global competition: Sector
          players face a fierce level of competition. And, existing firms
          face the prospect of even higher competition given the
          relative ease with which new players may enter the
          marketplace.

          2. Differentiation through the ‘upturn’: Businesses
          competing fiercely for market share may be forced to incur
          expenses to differentiate their offerings. If the economic
          recovery is less than robust, customer pushback may induce
          pricing pressures. The result may be a greater likelihood of
          declining revenue and lower profits.

          3. Global expansion and growth in emerging markets:
          Business climate improvements in established markets
          appear positive for industry players. Still, many THL

                                                                               Statistics

          companies continue to focus on increasing their presence in
          less saturated, faster growing emerging markets to expand
          customer reach. As broadband connections and credit card
          penetration grow in these developing markets, online travel
          bookings are likely to increase, driving the need to access
          consumers in these new markets through online branding
          and marketing.

          What are some steps THL companies can take to manage
          through the current climate of economic uncertainty?

          1. Attack business complexities to improve cost structure
          amid heightened competition: Many companies have
          reduced their operational costs through a combination of
          shared services, offshoring and outsourcing. But to cut costs
          further, THL companies should also consider simplifying the
          underlying organizational, portfolio, process and
          information infrastructure complexities.

          2. Enhance the consumer experience and build true loyalty:
          A weaker job market will likely lead to lower consumer
          spending. Greater transparency means the consumer can
          research and book directly through suppliers, search
          engines, comparison sites, affiliates, agents and more. The
          increasing availability of online gaming is likely to siphon off

          better customer experience will likely continue to be a key
          differentiator. Companies may need to have an efficient
          multi-channel distribution strategy and focus on consumer
          loyalty to sustain their top-lines through a valued customer
          experience despite a less-attractive location or higher price.

          3. Realize the growth potential of new markets and market
          opportunities: Emerging markets —such as those in Asia
          and South America — will likely experience greater inbound
          travel. This is especially the case in heretofore closed or
          underutilized markets such as Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam
          and Belize. Companies should consider planning their
          market entry strategies as new markets open up.
          Additionally, new market opportunities in legalized
          gambling may be taking place in countries such as Japan
          and Vietnam. Should such opportunities materialize,
          companies should consider adopting strategies to build out
          the appropriate infrastructure.

          4. Harness technology to improve operations: Successful
          industry operators may adopt new technologies for the
          purpose of information, promotions, bookings and
          reservations, and general management-control systems.
          Technical innovations can ease the business process and

          increase hassle-free experiences for the customers. Digital
          innovations and social media play an increasingly important
          role as tools to attract travelers.

          What are high-performing companies doing to foster
          innovation and growth?

          In the current challenging economic environment, leading
          THL companies are leveraging social media and business
          analytic platforms to gain insight into customer preferences
          and drivers of customer loyalty.

          A number of THL companies are using their cash balances
          toward consolidation to improve their market share and
          sustain profits. Sustainability is gaining increased
          importance — while airlines are working toward fuel
          efficiency, many hotels and restaurants are re-engineering
          their menus to focus on organic, low-calorie food to build
          consumer confidence and reinforce their brand image.

          These innovation and growth strategies are likely
          compelling THL companies to examine their legacy
          structures and processes in the evolving marketplace

                             Problem Statement

        With the new Media Environment having established
        itself in every household, the challenges that the
        Hospitality Industry faces are that of the “ALWAYS ON”
        consumer and also the “ALWAYS ON” Media
        Environment.

        Keeping track of “ALWAYS ON” becomes very important
        . “User Experiences” if Positive are very good for the
        product, but if the experiences are negative and they are
        shared by the consumer the damage can be quite
        devastating.

        There are various examples of how the “ALWAYS ON”
        consumer have helped establish or damage the reputation
        of a Hospitality brand.

        A lot of specific relations between the Media and the
        Hospitality Industry are discussed in Chapter 4.

                                Case Studies

        In this Chapter we will look at a few cases of
        how the relationships between various Media
        platforms have helped establish or eroded the
        positioning of a Hospitality brand.

        This relationship is every so important in
        today’s environment as we are dealing with
        the “ALWAYS ON” consumer whose basic
        requirement of to achieve instant gratification
        with very little room for any adjustments.

        The “Taste Spaces” of consumers and the
        availability of substitutes is forcing the
        Hospitality Industry be constantly alert to
        any deficiency in “Hospitality” levels.

        Media companies have establish Consumer
        choice Awards like – Times Food Awards,
        NDTV Good Food Awards, Skytrax World
        Airline Awards Freddie Awards and lots
        more to keep the Hospitality Industry on
        their toes.

        United Airlines had broken Dave's guitar in checked
        luggage. After eight months of pestering the company for
        compensation, he turned to his best tool—songwriting—
        and vowed to create a YouTube video about the incident
        that he hoped would garner a million views in one year.

        Four days after its launching, the first million people had
        watched “United Breaks Guitars.” United stock went
        down 10 percent, shedding $180 million in value;

        Dave appeared on outlets as diverse as CNN and The
        View. United relented. And throughout the business
        world, people began to realize that “efficient” but
        inhuman customer-service policies had an unseen cost—
        brand destruction by frustrated, creative, and socially
        connected customers.

        “United Breaks Guitars” has become a textbook example
        of the new relationship between companies and their
        customers, and has demonstrated the power of one voice
        in the age of social media.

        It has become a benchmark in the customer-service and
        music industries, as well as branding and social-media
        circles. Today, more than 150 million people are familiar
        with this story.

        Now Dave has written a book in which you can read about
        how Dave developed the “just do it” philosophy that made
        him the ideal man to take on a big corporation, what it
        felt like to be in the center of the media frenzy, and how
        he's taken his talents and become a sought-after
        songwriter and public speaker. And businesspeople will
        learn how companies should change their policies and
        address social-media uprisings.

                                  Conclusion

        Entire companies became involved in any marketing
        effort. There are cross media platform & cross product
        collaborations that come into play due to the complexity
        of Media + Hospitality interactions. If strategized well the
        dividends are immense as can be seen from some of the
        case studies. Used with low sensitivity, it can be a disaster
        – like the United Airlines case study.

        Or it could be more active, where different staff members
        participate in producing content. Your concierge team, for
        example, has a wealth of local knowledge and insider tips
        that can make compelling digital material – whether this
        is shared in a blog, on YouTube, through Twitter or on
        Foursquare.




WGSHA DISSERTATION 2013                                                        57

       Lastly, apart from the shifts in consumer preferences,
       player strategies and business models, one big change
       awaited for the next growth wave is the implementation of
       recently enacted regulations on digitization for cable.

       The companies which will be able to adapt and use these
       changes to their best advantage will survive and flourish,
       whereas the rest might find it difficult to keep pace with the
       dynamic environment.

       It will be vital for players to continuously keep pace with
       preferences and behavior across customer segments,
       (including regional, hyper local communities, youth) and
       tailor the business models accordingly across content
       creation, distribution and price points.

       Drawing on some of the Learning's from the past chapters,
       it is now time to look at some of the case studies of how
       various Hospitality Companies have used different Media
       platforms to promote their product offering and
       profitability grow their business.

       Some Organizations have used Sustainability as a unique
       (ITC Hotels) and some have used something as simple as
       Sleep (The Westin).

       Airlines, Tourism Boards and Hotels all have used different
       approaches.

       In the complex, connected and “ALWAYS ON” world the
       business of Hospitality is be redefined – by the Consumer!!!

       Thank You!

  • 29. A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON HOW DIFFERENT MEDIA EFFECT THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Statistics reach across diverse and regional markets, and the development of targeted media content. There has been increased proliferation and consumption of digital media content – be it newspapers and magazines, digital film prints, and online video and music or entirely new categories such as social media. For example, the print players are increasing becomingly available on the digital platforms in order to establish a connect with current readers as well as to establish a relationship with new readers. Accordingly, online advertising spends have seen a spurt in growth vis a vis spends on traditional media. At the same time, the ability to develop models that get consumers to pay for online content is still limited. Currently, advertising is the primary source of revenue online but we expect new revenue models to emerge as the payment infrastructure develops and consumers begin to pay for content. WGSHA DISSERTATION 2013 29
  • 30. A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON HOW DIFFERENT MEDIA EFFECT THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Statistics Further, understanding and tracking online media behavior of consumers would enable companies to progress to the next level of their online strategy and monetization. Change is also being brought about by the proliferation of screens – making media consumption more personal than ever. Smart phones, tablets, PCs, gaming devices, etc. all form the foundation of a new wave in media usage. This is gradually impacting the way content is being created and distributed. Multiple media including TV, films, news, radio, music etc are being impacted with this change. For example, radio listenership has increased largely due to out of home mobile listenership. The number of internet users is expected to cross 546 million users by 2016, increasingly driven by wireless connections. The increase in tablet penetration in future can have a big impact on internet usage and in particular, video consumption, as its large screen allow consumption of more detailed and interactive content.

  • 31.

This move will have a direct impact on the Hospitality Industry as it will allow users to instantly upload data or comment on their experiences. WGSHA DISSERTATION 2013 31
  • 32. A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON HOW DIFFERENT MEDIA EFFECT THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Statistics The Hospitality Industry will require a re-look at how they promote themselves with a focus on creating a more user friendly experience for the increasingly savvy and ‘new age’ consumers . The Media Mix will require a rethink and also how Media is used away from the traditional pure play Advertising. As consumers evolve and with India’s growing young population, there is a heightened need to engage them across platforms and experiences. There is a greater need for integration and innovation across traditional and new media, with changing media consumption habits and preferences for niche content. Media companies today have no choice but to provide more touch points to engage with audiences. An example of a very successful 360 degree marketing campaign was in the marketing of ‘RA One’, which had one of the longest and the most elaborate marketing campaigns in order to build audience anticipation. It effectively used traditional and new media in the form of unveiling its first look on a popular social networking website. In addition, the campaign also leveraged digital and merchandising platforms to its advantage. This surround experience is “Activation’.

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON HOW DIFFERENT MEDIA EFFECT THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Statistics Players in the print and radio industry have been building a strong value proposition in customizing campaigns for advertisers which include marketing across multiple media platforms, including organizing events for them. India is a young nation and in many ways the youth is driving change in terms of strategies of media players in the industry due to their different media consumption habits and preferences. Since youth is an important target segment for a large number of heavy advertising sectors like Hospitality, Telecom, Financial Services etc., media players are trying to engage with young audiences in innovative ways in order to grab attention and build stickiness. Print players across the world are exploring new ways to revamp their readership as the young generation looks to social media, television and online channels for its dose of daily news rather than wait for the next day. Not only are they breaking news and promoting their brands and shows on portals, search engines and social media, They are also organizing events and promotions especially targeting the youth, for example, Dainik Bhaskar launched The Brain Hunt 2012 across 13 states with an aim to develop reading habits among school students.

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON HOW DIFFERENT MEDIA EFFECT THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Statistics 2013 Outlook on Travel, Hospitality and Leisure, Interview with Adam Weissenberg – Vice Chairman, Deloitte, USA What are some of the key issues facing the THL sector in 2013? Heightened competition in a multi-channel environment, the pressing need for brand differentiation, and emerging market opportunities and challenges highlight strategic considerations that companies in the THL sector face in the evolving marketplace. 1. Heightened domestic and global competition: Sector players face a fierce level of competition. And, existing firms face the prospect of even higher competition given the relative ease with which new players may enter the marketplace. 2. Differentiation through the ‘upturn’: Businesses competing fiercely for market share may be forced to incur expenses to differentiate their offerings. If the economic recovery is less than robust, customer pushback may induce pricing pressures. The result may be a greater likelihood of declining revenue and lower profits. 3. Global expansion and growth in emerging markets: Business climate improvements in established markets appear positive for industry players. Still, many THL WGSHA DISSERTATION 2013 37

As broadband connections and credit card penetration grow in these developing markets, online travel bookings are likely to increase, driving the need to access consumers in these new markets through online branding and marketing. What are some steps THL companies can take to manage through the current climate of economic uncertainty? 1. Attack business complexities to improve cost structure amid heightened competition: Many companies have reduced their operational costs through a combination of shared services, offshoring and outsourcing. But to cut costs further, THL companies should also consider simplifying the underlying organizational, portfolio, process and information infrastructure complexities. 2. Enhance the consumer experience and build true loyalty: A weaker job market will likely lead to lower consumer spending. Greater transparency means the consumer can research and book directly through suppliers, search engines, comparison sites, affiliates, agents and more.

But delivering a better customer experience will likely continue to be a key differentiator. Companies may need to have an efficient multi-channel distribution strategy and focus on consumer loyalty to sustain their top-lines through a valued customer experience despite a less-attractive location or higher price. 3. Realize the growth potential of new markets and market opportunities: Emerging markets —such as those in Asia and South America — will likely experience greater inbound travel. This is especially the case in heretofore closed or underutilized markets such as Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam and Belize. Companies should consider planning their market entry strategies as new markets open up. Additionally, new market opportunities in legalized gambling may be taking place in countries such as Japan and Vietnam. Should such opportunities materialize, companies should consider adopting strategies to build out the appropriate infrastructure. 4. Harness technology to improve operations: Successful industry operators may adopt new technologies for the purpose of information, promotions, bookings and reservations, and general management-control systems.

Digital innovations and social media play an increasingly important role as tools to attract travelers. What are high-performing companies doing to foster innovation and growth? In the current challenging economic environment, leading THL companies are leveraging social media and business analytic platforms to gain insight into customer preferences and drivers of customer loyalty. A number of THL companies are using their cash balances toward consolidation to improve their market share and sustain profits. Sustainability is gaining increased importance — while airlines are working toward fuel efficiency, many hotels and restaurants are re-engineering their menus to focus on organic, low-calorie food to build consumer confidence and reinforce their brand image.

Keeping track of “ALWAYS ON” becomes very important . “User Experiences” if Positive are very good for the product, but if the experiences are negative and they are shared by the consumer the damage can be quite devastating.

After eight months of pestering the company for compensation, he turned to his best tool—songwriting— and vowed to create a YouTube video about the incident that he hoped would garner a million views in one year. Four days after its launching, the first million people had watched “United Breaks Guitars.” United stock went down 10 percent, shedding $180 million in value; Dave appeared on outlets as diverse as CNN and The View. United relented. And throughout the business world, people began to realize that “efficient” but inhuman customer-service policies had an unseen cost— brand destruction by frustrated, creative, and socially connected customers.

It has become a benchmark in the customer-service and music industries, as well as branding and social-media circles. Today, more than 150 million people are familiar with this story. Now Dave has written a book in which you can read about how Dave developed the “just do it” philosophy that made him the ideal man to take on a big corporation, what it felt like to be in the center of the media frenzy, and how he's taken his talents and become a sought-after songwriter and public speaker.

There are cross media platform & cross product collaborations that come into play due to the complexity of Media + Hospitality interactions. If strategized well the dividends are immense as can be seen from some of the case studies. Used with low sensitivity, it can be a disaster – like the United Airlines case study. Or it could be more active, where different staff members participate in producing content. Your concierge team, for example, has a wealth of local knowledge and insider tips that can make compelling digital material – whether this is shared in a blog, on YouTube, through Twitter or on Foursquare.

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON HOW DIFFERENT MEDIA EFFECT THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Conclusion Lastly, apart from the shifts in consumer preferences, player strategies and business models, one big change awaited for the next growth wave is the implementation of recently enacted regulations on digitization for cable. The companies which will be able to adapt and use these changes to their best advantage will survive and flourish, whereas the rest might find it difficult to keep pace with the dynamic environment. It will be vital for players to continuously keep pace with preferences and behavior across customer segments, (including regional, hyper local communities, youth) and tailor the business models accordingly across content creation, distribution and price points.
