Question 2. 

Briefly describe the external hotel environment (use the PESTEL Framework-Political, Economic, Sociocultural, Technological, Ecological and Legal impacts).

 

Consider the industry giants including Marriott, Hilton, Ritz Carlton, Doubletree, Hyatt, etc. Why did the Airbnb strategists think they could break into this market?
