Guys,been given the task at work at the moment to size the total global market for the following types of accom:- Hotels - Hostels- B&BsAny ideas on how best to do it? All advice welcomed.

I can do it for you for £250... I'll do a good job and you could put it on your expenses? Let me know

hold on, isn't this what you get paid 2 do? do it your f-kin self!!

Its also f-kin easy Gerry. If you cant do that why are you in the job. Go and work in IB its easier

Chaps,Relaxez-vous? Isn't this supposed to be a knowledge sharing forum.....? Where is the love? The desire to help others to succeed...?Of course I have my own views but I'd appreciate others.....1) Identify available info - from research reports, IB reports etc. 2) Build a model based on:- No. of tourists visiting various parts of the world - take some key cities / regions, understand the tourist profile- Calculate the no. of beds- Divide and segment by accom type - again, make some assumptions about various regions (e.g. high proportion of budget accom in Contintental Europe, less in UK etc., high proportion of camping accom in certain regions etc._- Test model against figures from respective trade associations (e.g. YHA, YMCA etc.)Something of that accord - anyone any better suggestions....? Test your brains for a while.....

Gerry I hope you're having a bubble. This is not a place where lazy consultants come to get their work done for them. However, I would love to see a footnote on this slide in your pack.Source: top-consultant.com. Some guy called hmmm posted the figure so I used it.

I'm not even in strat consulting, so don't really do this kinda scoping work, but my god, that's not a good approach! calculate the number of beds..?! lol!

Seems to be more hot air in this thread than solution making.......

Hey everyone, I have a report which needs writing for next week. It's got to be around 100 pages long and is about working capital reduction in the oil industry. Can one of you do it for me? Many thanks!

£25,000+VAT (paid in cash hehe) and it's yours ;)

by the way, you said 'this is supposed to be a knowledge sharing forum'... It's actually a Career Forum, as it says on the top left hand side of the page. you c0ck.

If anyone is the c##k, I'd say its you - you little trumped up City boy, two tone shirt wearing prat.

lol... What aspects of the things I wrote led you to think i'm a 'city boy' and wear 'two tone shirts'..? ..I'm confused!
