Introduction

Grant Thornton Vietnam’s Hotel Survey 2014 presents financial, operational and marketing information for the 2013 financial year from a range of Vietnamese hotels and resorts.

For simplicity, “Hotel” refers to both hotels and resorts, with our survey covering 3, 4 and 5-Star rated hotels. Statistics are presented by Star Category (hotel rankings), Hotel Size (number of rooms) and Hotel Region (location). When presenting the statistics, hotel size is defined within three categories ranging from small to large hotels, described as less than 75 rooms, 75 to 150 rooms and more than 150 rooms. Lastly, hotel regions are separated into the three main areas of Vietnam; the North, the Central and Highlands and the South. In the North, the hotel participants are located in the capital Hanoi, Sapa and Ha Long City. In the Central and Highlands region, the hotels are located in cities such as Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Nha Trang and Phan Thiet. Hotel participants from the South are mainly located in Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc, Vung Tau and Mekong Delta. In this year’s survey, the number of participants from 3-Star hotels is not as extensive as in earlier years, particularly in the North. Together with the change in hotel mix of this category, these may cause significant year-on-year movements in the analysis.

This report is prepared to provide readers with a general, as well as specific, view on hotel operations in Vietnam by presenting data covering different criteria for analysis such as hotel facilities, staffing,
