This collection of high end luxury hotels has up to 2004 implemented an individual brand/collection brand strategy built around the “sense of place” concept. This concept tailors their hotels to capture the local architecture, history and culture, differentiating them from corporate branded hotels. Despite Rosewood’s performance of having the highest average per room daily room rate and revenue, and recognition amongst travel agents, brand recognition amongst their guests is low. President and CEO, John Scott, and vice president of sales and marketing, Robert Boulogne, are considering a new corporate brand strategy(CBS) aiming to promote their corporate brand.

    During financial crisis 2008-09, both firms suffered a significant decrease. To be more specific, Qantas’s net income decreased to $123 million and Virgin’s declined to $-160 million. Though their revenue did not change much, their net income decreased as variable expenditure increased, as a result of implementing new strategy of price promotion. In the following recovering years, net profit of Qantas increased from $116m to $249m, which is only one quarter of net income before GFC. The same situation happened with ROE, which dived in 2009 and continued decreasing slightly in 2010.
