    Study Notes

    Hospitality and Tourism Finance - Organizational Chart

    • The organizational chart displays a hierarchical structure within the hospitality and tourism industry.
    • Divisions are categorized as operational (e.g., food and beverages, front office, housekeeping) and non-operational (e.g., sales and marketing, finance, HR, maintenance).
    • The chart shows various departments and their reporting relationships.

    Room Division

    • Income Statement: A financial statement that summarizes a company's revenue, expenses, gains, and losses over an accounting period. This provides key insights into a business's profitability.
    • Occupancy Rate: Expresses the percentage of rooms occupied in a hospitality establishment.
    • Example Calculation: If a hotel has 125 rooms and 45625 possible occupancy days, the occupancy rate can be calculated by dividing the number of rooms sold by the number of available rooms.
    • O.R. (Occupancy Rate) Formula: (Number of rooms sold) / (Number of rooms available)

    Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

    • Average Daily Rate (ADR): Measures the average revenue generated per rented room. Calculated by dividing the total room division revenue by the number of rooms sold.
    • Formula: Room division revenue / Number of rooms sold
    • Revenue Per Available Room (REVPAR): Assesses the revenue generated by each available room, expressed in currency value.
    • Formula 1: Room division revenue / Available rooms
    • Formula 2: Occupancy Rate x ADR

    Additional Financial Metrics

    • Revenue 2023: Total revenue generated in the year 2023 (in currency).
    • Number of rooms sold: The actual number of rooms sold during a given period.
    • Number of rooms available: The total number of rooms available for occupancy in a given period, potentially affected by factors such as maintenance or staff allocation.

    Break-Even Point (BEP)

    • Definition: The point at which total revenue equals total costs; no profit or loss occurs.
    • Calculation Methods:
      • Total revenue = total costs
      • Contribution margin = fixed costs
    • Analysis: Understanding the BEP is crucial for profitability; the further below the BEP, the greater the loss; the further above, the larger the profit.

    Revenue Management - Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

    • Market Penetration Index (MPI): Measures hotel occupancy against the average market occupancy level to gauge competitive positioning.
    • Average Rate Index (ARI): Compares a hotel's average daily room rate (ADR) to the average ADR of competing hotels.
    • Revenue Generation Index (RGI): Compares a hotel's revenue per available room (RevPAR) to the average RevPAR in the market to ascertain revenue performance relative to competitors.
