Growth strategy The Westin hotel is one of the fastest growing hotels in the business industry since it has managed to conquer the world with over 270 luxurious hotels spread across the world.

What makes a hotel grow faster is the management style and the strategies put in place to ensure its development (1). The Westin has one of the most competent management in the history of hotel management since they always ensure employee and customer satisfaction before considering making any profits. When employees and customers are satisfied, profits will come naturally since customers will be satisfied and come back for more.

During the holiday season, the preferred place to visit is the Burj Al Arab hotel since it has good services and also family activities like boat riding that will bring families together. This puts the hotel in the top of the market during the holidays. On the other hand, Westin hotel has more locations in the world that Burj Al Arab hotel which makes it preferable during all seasons.
