The lodging industry is seeking for new strategies to maintain existing customers and attract more. SWOT analysis is an effective self-evaluation tool to help hotel management build valuable strategies to retain current customers and attract more potential customers in order to reap more benefits from the lodging industry in US. This article demonstrates a qualitative study of internal strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats of C. hotel which has been running for years in a local district by using SWOT analysis.
