Wyndham groups of hotels is one of the most popular hotels in the world. They have
hotels in more than 110 countries. They operate both in owned and subsidized
accommodation. They have more 200 resorts and of their own and more than 4300 subsidized
accommodation (Mission, Values and Vision – Wyndham Franchise Opportunities., 2019).
They are well known for providing accommodations of different price ranges in both metro
cities and country sides. Hyatt Hotel Corporation on the other hand is luxury 5 star hotel
chain that is well known in providing luxury and comfort (Hyatt., 2019). In this essay, the
strategy development of Ramada Resorts of Phillip Island owned by Wyndham and Grand
Hyatt, Melbourne has been analyzed.
Both Wyndham and Hyatt are well celebrated in the hotel industry. Still, they have
different approach when it comes to marketing and hospitality. In that regard, the mission,
vision and values of the two companies vary from each other (Kim, Song & Lee, 2016).
Wyndham focuses on the idea of travel and tourism. They understand that different people
have different perceptions of fulfillment when it comes to vacations. Thus, they aim to
provide each individual with their desired place and accommodation. They have hospitality,
engagement, accountability, respect and teamwork at the heart of their objective. They work
with thousands of associates all over the world and work on the shared values with the
spirited global teams (Martínez, Pérez & Bosque, 2013). They also work for social
responsibility by incorporating social diversity and environmental sustainability. Hyatt
Corporation is committed to care for people so that they can experience the best. They focus
on comfort and luxury. All the while they keep the most important aspect of hospitality in
mind, the people. The mission of the organization is to care for people, make a difference in
their lives and create a shared and happy place for people to work. The vision of Hyatt is
respect, integrity, humanity, empathy, fun and creativity (Leonidou, Leonidou, Fotiadis &
Zeriti, 2013). They have also taken initiative of performing their social responsibility by

embracing the differences among the people all over the world. These aspects are all
integrated into the hotels that they own all over the world.
The Ramada Resorts in Philip Island is one of the most luxurious and eco-friendly
resort in the location. It is owned by Wyndham Hotel chain (Phillip Island Accommodation |
Ramada Resort Phillip Island Apartments., 2019). Ramada is the collection of resorts that
offers best relaxation and unwinding experience. Grand Hyatt on the other hand is
accommodations that provide ultimate luxury and are the most premium of the properties that
they offer. They have very different approach to business strategy. Wyndham focuses on
more reasonable and varied experiences. They offer different price slabs for different income
groups. Hyatt on the other hand is luxury oriented. The strategy development of these hotels
can be determines by a comparison of Macro-environmental factors through PESTEL
framework (Gregorić, 2014).
Both hotels are worldwide accommodation chains and thus the political aspects
impact more or less the same way (Park & Levy, 2014). The instability of bureaucracy,
corruption in the government, the trade regulations and the changing labor standards,
frameworks that give protections against contract enforcement and mandatory benefits for the
employees are all applicable to both Ramada and Grand Hyatt. The tax laws are likely to
affect Grand Hyatt more as their business is more city oriented. Economic factors like
currency instability and continuous inflation both the businesses are equally affected by these
aspects. The social aspects that affect the Ramada resorts are the people and their low skill
level. They also lack education (Korjuhina & Sorokin, 2017). Most of the people that live
there are there for their profession related to tourism thus making recruitment quite difficult.
Moreover, due to lack of employment the population is decreasing. As for Hyatt, they have
human resource and skilled professionals. From the technological aspect, Wyndham has
certain positive aspects compared to Hyatt. Travelers nowadays are more tech savvy. They
