INTRODUCTION
In this modern hospitality markets, managers are straightly seeking for the greatest methods to approach and give service to their guests. Market segmentation is the one that dividing the whole market into some small parts, which we also called submarkets. Also service and products, which are branding, play significant parts in these market activities.

In this situation, market segmentation becomes important in the market, which should be considered by managers in the hotels.
In this report, I determined to introduce the Hilton Hotels
