Project Feasibility:

The UAE is one of the most visited places on earth and to meet the increasing demands on the infrastructure, new Hospitality Management Consultation Services projects are announced almost every day. But before you jump in, it is imperative that a proper due diligence process is carried out to understand how you are positioned to take part in the Tourism success story that Dubai offers.

We at Zabeel have on board consultants who have been involved in every aspect of hospitality. Before you jump in, take advantage of their expertise and get a proper feasibility done!

Our consultants will assist you with:

  • Understanding the location;
  • Mapping the compset- who will be your immediate competitors. This is important for classification of your property based on your proposed
    investment;
  • What minimum facilities you need to provide to your guests based on the location. For example, if your property is near the beach, there should be
    drop off and pickup facility to and from the beach;
  • Regulatory requirements- DTCM;
  • Mandatory requirements- DTCM: This is critical. DTCM requires every hotel or hospitality enterprise to have some mandatory facilities. Let this be part
    of your plan!
  • Manning requirements: Apart from the location, this is another critical factor which will determine your success. An under manned facility will mean
    lower guest satisfaction which in turn means a lower top line. On the other hand, too many staff and would mean impacting your bottom line. We at
    Zabeel will work with you to plan the right manning levels without comprising on guest satisfaction;
  • Social media presence: As more and more guests shift to Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, it is imperative that you are on these
    platforms from day one and accordingly, choose the right partner to deliver “visibility” to your portfolio. We will assist you to map this and locate the
    right partner;
  • Systems: Choosing the right front office, reservations and back office systems (ERP) which is cost-effective, user friendly and at the same time in sync
    with the latest technology (such as reporting integration) is a must for the long-time success. Our IT consultant(s) have been in this field for many
    years and will recommend solutions that fit in with your requirements.;
  • AMC’s: Hospitality has many services that may need to be outsourced and we will help you find the right AMC partner for your requirements, who are
    cost-effective and at the same time delivers to utmost levels of professionalism.

Last, but not the least as the cliché goes, we will provide you with:
A complete feasibility study, encompassing all of the factors above, including Strategic five to ten years projections, highlighting the NPV and IRR for the
project(s) undertaken.
