Ooooohhhhhhhhh. I thought you meant GCSE, but it says IGCSE, never heard of that before. Well... I'm doing GCSE Edexcel Business Studies.





This is slightly awkward..... I'm just going to slowly back away from this thread and act like I never said anything

I thought it was ok. Can i ask you a few Q's for what you put?

What did you put for the remaining at 4* thing and why is it important to have good quality service?
Also for the questionnaire as i was stuck for that and also the labout intensive thing. I answered these Q's but not in very much detail. What did you put? :-) x

They want to remain at 4*s because that gives them a good reputation, they can charge a good amount for rooms, customers want to visit, etc
It is important to have a good quality service people want to visit again and reccomend to friends and family, so more business meaning more profit.
Hotels are labor intensive because, housekeeping, manning the help desk etc are all examples. this work cannot be done by machines.

Thank god!! I put exactly that except except from charging the amount for the room. Thank you, i am at some relief now. What did you put about the guy wanting to start his own business? I put a partnership. Also what about the first multiple choice i put a break even chart? When we had to do that organisational thing did you fill in all the boxes?
