Therefore, introducing my product in a growing industry will certainly be helpful.

Point of Differentiation: -
Along with being a resort, it will also be a wellness center.
There will be facility of Yoga classes, Aerobic classes, Dieticians, Gym instructor, spa, Art & Craft
classes, Cooking classes along with healthy food etc. at every Blissful Stay Land resort.

resort, which is essentially a vacation-cum-healing center.

Therefore, if a family comes for a vacation, and the couple wants to leave their children and elderly

can enjoy themselves with various classes present within the resort – Fun activities for every age group.

USP of Blissful Stay Land: -
Blissful Stay Land provides a unique blend of luxurious stay, health rejuvenating activities and a tinge
entertainment.
Why Blissful Stay Land is likely to succeed: -
1. According to the survey done by BCG and Google ‘BCG-Google: Demystifying the Indian Online
Traveler-Jun-2017’- The Indian leisure traveler today have low brand loyalty (only 10% customer go from
brand name),
Therefore, as brand loyalty is low, a new brand name in this market will not face much resistance from
the customer.
2. 89% of India's population is suffering from stress (study conducted by Cigna TTK Health Insurance)
and 97% of the Indian population take vacation every year (study conducted by MakeMyTrip for sample
size=3000), therefore keeping both these points in mind, if a resort provides stress free-healthy-fun-
filled-luxurious stay, people are more likely to incline towards it.
The Customer: -
My brand will be catering to people with high to medium income and those who live in Metro cities, as according
to an article published on Live Mint:
People with top income level spend an average of 11,655 Rs on travelling – 29% of the total
household in this sector.
People with medium income level spend an average of 7,225 Rs and 6,472 Rs on travelling – 24%
and 22% of the total households in this sector respectively.
In the Metro city, maximum number of households have travelled – 25%.

All the competitors are providing the similar 5-star stay-facilities

classes, adventure sports etc., but these activities are not present in all its resorts, thus it lacks
standardization.
Another major competitor- Sterling resorts, many of its resorts are quite old, which is reflected in its
look and feel, also many customers have companied about the taste and quality of their food.
