3.Finally, complete a brief SWOT analysis of one of the competitive sets you identified. Narrow your set down to 4 hotels. Then, identify the weaknesses from their online customer reviews on TripAdvisor and explain what they can do to prevent having this same weakness in the future. Finally, describe the strengths and determine if any of the hotels appear to have a unique competitive advantage or if they have similar strengths.
To determine this, use the following criteria:
Go to TripAdvisor and search for each hotel.
Compare the star ratings and the number of reviews.
Create a chart in Word with the top 4 competitors. Column 1: Name of the Hotel. Column 2: Average star rating. Column 3: Number of reviews. Column 4: Strengths mentioned in 5-star reviews. Column 5: Weaknesses mentioned in 1 and 2-star reviews.
Note: For TripAdvisor, the author should be TripAdvisor, not the author of the review. Just cite the page for each hotel and not the individual reviews.
