1. Executive Summary
The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts firm is dedicated to providing the best service for its customers within the luxury hotel industry. Much admired, and not easily replicated, the Four Seasons culture is firmly grounded in our people – in who we are, what we believe and how we behave. Our goals, beliefs and principles are described in the Four Seasons corporate mission statement.[1]
Four Seasons is considering on opening a 5-star hotel in the area of Lausanne, Switzerland. Taking into consideration the current market and situation in this area, competition as well as external and internal factors we will explore the option of entering this market with a new Four Seasons hotel. A marketing and implementation strategy is then presented along with the target segments in this particular market. Despite being a leader in the worldwide luxury hotel industry, Four Seasons is a newcomer in the Lausanne area and have only one other property with Switzerland located in Geneva. The proposed Four Seasons Lausanne needs to expand on Four Seasons image
