Q3. Please read the following case and answer the questions given at the end. Starting as a single hotel in a Paris suburb in 1995, the Hotel Paris is now a chain of nine hotels, with two in France, one each in London and Rome, and others in New York, Miami, Washington, Chicago, and Los Angeles. As a corporate strategy, the Hotel Paris’s management and owners want to continue to expand geographically.

Fighting for survival, airlines “would need financial relief urgently tosustain their businesses through this volatile situation,” said Conrad Clifford, IATA’s RegionalVice President, Asia-Pacific.Looking back in history, the airline industry has always bounced back from every crisis it hasexperienced. After the 2003 SARS outbreak, which caused Asia Pacific airlines to lose $6 billion,travel returned to normal within nine months.
