Abstract
Management of a resort hotel near Palm Springs is reviewing the hotel''s performance nine months after opening and planning a marketing strategy for 1980. Of particular concern is the strategy to adopt during the shoulder and off-seasons when demand for the product is lower. Should the hotel even remain open in the summer when other major hotels in the area are closed? Will attempts to stimulate summer demand negate the hotel''s efforts to win a five-star rating? Twelve pages of exhibits include data on hotel usage in the area, and operating costs and revenues for Rancho Las Palmas.
