INTRODUCTION :
1.1. The Concept:
Hotel is a place which provides its customers facilities of food and accommodation on
payment. It is home away from home where all the modern amenities and facilities are
available on a payment basis. The definition presented by hotel operators to authorities
of the National Recovery Administration in Washington is found to be a more
comprehensive definition, presented by Stuart Mc Namara.
The definition states that, “According to the international laws a hotel is a place where a
traveler can receive food and shelter provided he is in a position to pay for it and is in a
fit condition to receive.”
HISTORY:
One of the fastest growing sectors of the economy of our time is the hotel industry. The
hotel industry alone is a multi-billion dollar and growing enterprise. It is exciting, never
boring and offer unlimited opportunities. The hotel industry is diverse enough for people
to work in different areas of interest and still be employed within the hotel industry. This
trend is not just in a single country, but globally.The hotel industry is a mature industry
marked by intense competition. According to a survey today around 15% of working
population of the world is engaged in the hospitality industry. Hotel today not only caters
to the basic needs of the guest like food and shelter but in addition to that they also
provide much more than that, like personalized services.
1.2. Classification & types of hotel:
Hotel can be classified into different categories or classes, based on their operationalcriteria. For example the type of accommodation they provide, location of the property,
type of services provided, facilities given and the client they cater to, can help to
categorize hotels today.

3. LEARNING AND EXPERIENCE:
3.1 . Internship duration and Rational for Selection:
My internship covers a period of 7 weeks starting from 6th of July, 2009 to 22nd of August,
2009. As I have interest in in the field of marketing so it was a very experience for me to
work in the Marketing department and was easy for me to understand various marketing and
sales concepts and techniques which were practically used there. It was all over a new
experience for me to use those methods to solve the tasks assigned to me. During my
internship in the hotel I got a chance to practically apply my knowledge to solve the tasks.
One of the reasons why I choose Hotel to do my internship was that in my point of view the
hospitality industry has a huge scope in Pakistan. It is a diamond mine waiting to be
explored.

3.2. Task performed in the sales and marketing department:
I have performed almost all the tasks at sales and marketing department. The description of
job which was provided at orientation (start of the internship) time was consisting of the
following tasks which I had performed there:
1. Sales visits.
During the internship I visited various organizations in which we were visiting for the
first time and some of them were our clients and we visited them just for the courtesy so
that they may visit the hotel soon and give it some business.
The learning point in this task was the convincing discussion we had gone through
with the clients and I got a chance to get an idea how to use different tactics to get a
business.
2. Marketing visits:
With the manager and sometimes with his assistant we visited the market to analyse the
ways to attract new customers. As Ramadan was heading in August so in order to launch
the Ramadan scheme we visited the market to get an idea what other hotels were offering.
3. Sales Calls
In the mean time of my internship I also got the traing of making sales calls. It was
interesting in a way that we call to new companies and discuss with them our products
and services and the best part was the patience required for making the customer to get
agree to avail our product. Most of the times it happened that the customer agreed on the
phone and when we made a sales visit it totally refused our offer.
4. Courtesy calls.In the internship I was also trained to make courtesy calls in order to retain our old
customers and to tell them about any new package which we were going to launch in the
future.
5. Customer record, billing and recovery:

This was the part of my internship which was directly related to my MBA. As I am a
finance student so I also got the training of:
maintaining the cutomer record
issung them letters for the outstanding of their accounts with us
recovery calls and visits
recovering the amounts
reminder letters
By doing all the above said tasks I learned a lot about how to mive in the organization
and how to work in the tensed environment. Before doing the internship I had no idea
how the courtesy is used and how this is difficult to make any organization our customer.
The tasks which I performed there in the hotel were a bit different which we are taught.
For instance sales and marketing are two separate departments in the books but in reality
both departments are working under one head.
I learned how to use my patience and how to make a new company client of the hotel.
The biggest key point I learned was the presentation of myself in front of executives of
the organization. Recovery of the outstanding amounts and giving discounts also help me
in increasing my information that how all these things are done in the real business life.

11. have a bright name in the category of 3 star hotels in Islamabad
12. Using banquet facilities with complete range of audio- visual equipments.
13. Giving catering services at your door step.
14. 24/7 doctor available on a single call.
15. Standby generator for facing the power shortage in the country.
16. spacious car parking, rent a car service and tour information services.
Weaknesses
4. The site of the hotel can be said as a weakness for the hotel. As it is situated in a
market yet the area is surrounded by motor workshops and car showrooms which
is a point customer hasitate to come to the hotel.
5. Another weakness can be its short time period of existence in the sector of
hospitality where there are people sitting for more than 40 years.
6. Limited room space can be said another weakness for the hotel. With the
emergence of other hotels of same category like Envoy continental hotel Pak
continental need to look upon in increase their residence facilities but they are
bound not to do it because of cost and space constraints.
Opportunities
6. By introducing more packages like wedding and for Ramadan Pak continental can
increase its customership.7. By introducing memberships for the business as well as for general public the
hotel can increase its business.
8. By making affiliations and doing contracts with renowned boutiques and and
dress designers it can arrange events which will attract the customers and will
help in increase in the market share of the hotel.
9. With sponsoring different local events like Basant and musical nights the hotel
worth will increase in the eye of public which will help it to increase in the
profits.
10. Some special packages introduction in the hotel products like giving discounts to
the newly wed couple and on birthday parties will increase the customer ship of
the hotel.

Threats
3. Increasing competition can be said a vital threat for the hotel as new hotel like
opening of hotel De Pape’, Rose garden and Envoy continental which are situated
in the same region are a threat for Pak continental.
4. lawlessness due to the suicide bombing in the recent years have adversely effect
the tourism sector causing decreasing in the business of hotels.
5. As Pak continental is a three star hotel and it has already a limited market and due
to the global economic recession the buying power of the customer has decreased
effecting the hotel industry adversely.
Recommendations
After this comprehensive report on the hospitality sector, I came up with some
suggestions for Pak continental hotel to tackle with the existing conditions and as well as
to cope with the merging competitors in the sector.
1. Pak continental should enhance its business by introducing new products
2. Hotel should give time to time promotions to retain its customers.
3. It should also consider the restaurants one of its competitors
4. New hall and lobbies should be constructed.
5. Human resource management is the merging new sector in the world and the hotel
is lacking in the department so it should introduce a H.R department in it so that
the optimal use of the employees can be made.
6. There is a deficiency observed in the hotel about training its employees and
conducting work shops to enhance their working capabilities. PAK continental
higher authority should also consider employee training in their near future plans

Conclusion
I would like to conclude that I have been given a great opportunity in my to work in a the
hospitality sector, and in a private organization. While learning and gaining a
professional experience, I enjoyed there and it was the time when I felt independent,
confident, responsible and realized my decision making power.
The aim of my internship was to get a practical experience and exposure the difference
between the theoretical things and the practical implementation of them. I have exercised
what I have learned during my MBA. I have learned that how organizations are different
and how they are competing each other on the cut throat situation.
Working at sales and Marketing department was a bit different and lively experience in
the end. Each day I had to communicate with my customers. it was a good experience of
reconciling the record of customers and to update the customer outstanding balance. I had
a experience to watch and observe how to make new customers and how to persuade
them to again use our services. There were times when things were seemto move away
from us and there were times when is was taught that what ever the customer say “t he
customer is always right”.
In this 7 weeks of my work I noticed and analyzed my capabilities to cope stress and my
decision making on my observation and took chances to polish them as my capabilities
are originally going to be used after completion of my MBA. Hence working in Hotel
Pak continental enhanced by communicative skills and helped me to calculate my self in
different situations.
