Introduction
Tourism is the source for the fact that Hospitality industry is turning towards Globalization. Tourism alongwithHospitality Industry is the most important aspect for some countries as it is the major source of foreigncurrency for any country and arguably the largest employer for the country.
As it is rightly said,” In many countries, where tourism has become a major export industry, the hospitalitysector is the focal point for concepts of globalization to take root.”[Cline R.:1995]
Roadhouse Hotels as we know from the worksheet given is a well-known chain of budget hotels andconsidering the basic management tools in the form of PEST and SWOT along with the country rating chart wewould analyse two countries from different continents viz. Newzealand and India.
Reasons for Choosing Newzealand and India
International tourism expenditure is expected to be soft (down 2 per cent in 2009), followed by a recovery in2010 (up 4.5 per cent). A larger increase in spending (up 9.1 per cent) is forecast for 2011.The increase in this year will be influenced by a recovering global economy and New Zealand's hosting of theRugby World Cup.[Tourism Newzealand:2009]
The statements above could clearly indicate the support the NZ government provides to tourism whichindirectly suggests favourable conditions for any chain to think about as a possible destination for InternationalHospitality Development.
Investing in India, with its "long history of English law," is more straightforward than China, which requiresmore caution, said Hilton President and Chief Operating Officer Matthew Hart. [Reuters:2007]
A handful of global luxury hotel chains are scouting for opportunities in India, thanks to the rise in hoteloccupancy rates during the October-December quarter and the enormous potential in a booming market thatdoesn't have enough hotel rooms. [Hotel-Online:2010]
Concluding the above two statements we could clearly see that there is a increasing amount of pressure onrooms seeing the amount inbound tourists in India. We could also conclude that the investments in India areeasier too taking into account the English inclined laws of the country.
Before any Hospitality Property thinks about globalizing themselves several factors are needed to be kept in themind and have to carefully analyze them in order to minimize the possibilities of wrong investments in a wrong place.
These factors would be used by us to show the grading of each country according to which we would see the best country with respect to have property of Roadhouse Hotels.
The factors we said are a part of PEST which in turn is a part of SWOT. We would therefore start with thePEST analysis for the countries we have proposed.

Pest Analysis
Political Factors (New Zealand)
New Zealand is a democratic country consisting of a Labour party and National Party which are the major
political parties in New Zealand acquiring 43 seats and 58 seats in the parliament respectively. Political stabilityin New Zealand is known to be very stable one with minimal risk of instability.[Online:2010]

http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/aboutnsw/climate/A9_riskofpolinstabil.htm
This clearly shows and explains the statement above we say New Zealand is one of the most stable countrieswith regards to politics.
Political Factors (India)
India is a democratic country as well and the main ruling parties are BJP and Congress also known as
UPA[United progressive alliance] and NDA[National democratic alliance]. As we see in figure 1 we see Indiato have a bit unstable political situation because of the latest elections.
But since the congress holds the government in India for consecutive two 5 year sessions of which the latter started in 2009, we could see the political stability strengthening in coming years.[Online:2010]
Economic Factors (New Zealand)
"Returning economic stability is leading to a rebound in some of our main visitormarkets, providing some light at the end of the tunnel for many tourism operators after
what was a difficult year in 2009."[Online:2010]
This clearly indicates that tourism sector along with the hospitality sector were hit by the economic recessionfaced by the whole world too. Hospitality being a part and parcel of the Tourism industry was ought to face the pinch as the tourism industry suffered due to the low volumes of tourists to New Zealand.
New Zealand supports the Franchising in a huge amount as it earns 10% of its GDP from Franchising. Theyalso have five banks in New Zealand which have a special Franchising Department the only reason as they say,“that franchise companies have a better success rate compared to stand aloneindependent companies,”[Online:2010]
As of 1 April, 2009, the New Zealand tax rates (excluding ACC earner’s levy) are:• 12.5 cents of every dollar for income up to $14,000• 21 cents of every dollar for income from $14,001 and $48,000• 33 cents of every dollar for income from $48,001 to $70,000
38 cents of every dollar for income of $70,001 and over [Online:2010]
The above mentioned rates denote the tax rates which in turn would help us determining a score for theeconomy and tax rates on the evaluation sheet.
Economic Factors [India]
“India's Reserve Bank of India, in its first financial stability report on Thursday, said that signs of recovery ingrowth were evident, adding that the monetary policy exit was started with the union budget committing itself to a return to fiscal consolidation.” [RTT News : 26th March 2010]
This clearly shows the similarity between the New Zealand and India.
“India has been ranked the "best country brand for value-for-money" in the CountryBrand Index (CBI) survey conducted by FutureBrand, a leading global brandconsultancy. India also claimed the second place in CBI's "best country brand for

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/international-hospitality-development 6/1211
history", as well as appears among the top 5 in the best country brand for authenticityand art & culture, and the fourth best new country for business.”[IBEF: Feb. 2010]
This indicates a positive sign for the new establishments intending to invest their capital in India.Foreign Direct Investment seen in services sector for the period from April to December 2009 was a whopping$3,547 Million which was more than any other sector in India. [Online:2010]
“The hotel industry has reacted optimistically to the Budget proposal for investment-linked tax deductions for new hotels in the two-star category and above. Analysts have interpreted this proposal as a tax holiday for atleast eight years on investments in new hotels, except in land, goodwill and financial instruments.”[Online:2010]
This indicates a favourable taxation policies being in place with respect to India thus favourable for thecompanies looking to invest and globalize their brand in India.
Social Factors (New Zealand) [Online:2010]
Population growth rate in New Zealand is 0.949 as compared to 1.3 in India which indirectly suggests thefollowing points [World Bank, World Development Indicators]
Per Capita Income – This is because the more the population the lesser the jobs andeventually lesser the salary.
Labour Charges – As the per capita decreases the labour charges are reduced .
Cost of Supplies- If the Demand would be more than the supply the cost of supplieswould increase
The per Capita Income of India was $976.3 as compared to $ 31219 which is asignificant amount of difference. This is the result of none other than the amount of population each of the country has .
viz. New Zealand= 4179000 as compared to 1169016000 of India as in 2007.
Tourist Arrivals in Newzealand were 2434000 whereas India had 4447000 tourists in2007 which indicate India was a more favorable condition for the tourists as in 2007
Urban Population% of New Zealand in 2007 was 86.4% as compared to India with 29.2%
which might denote somewhat a equal proportion taking the population of both thecountries into account.
This indicates that 86% people can afford the budget hotels as compared to 29.2%population in India.
Hotels by Concentration In New ZealandHotels By Concentration could mostly be found in Aukland, Christchurch and Wellington.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/international-hospitality-development 7/1211
Hotels in India could be found in the four metromolitan cities viz Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkataand Chennai. Along with this there is a growing trend of move to the cities nearby themetropolitan cities such as Pune near Mumbai which has now becoming a IT hub;Bangalore the IT city of India, Ahmedabad; Jaipur etc. wherein they have a largeramount of tourist spots as compared to the metropolitan cities.
Technological Factors
Both New Zealand and India are technologically advancing countries and the countrieshave nothing to do with the bringing of new technologies unless they are harmful tohumans or the atmosphere

Conclusions and Recommendations
The following could be rightly concluded from the research conducted
India scored 76.9 in comparison with New Zealand 67.1 the reasons mainly being India has the law alike UK and the RoadHouse Hotels being a budget hotel suits India better than NZ where 86% population is urban andhas a spending power.
The form of operation should be a Joint venture to avoid excess risk.
Recommendations found were that the location of the hotel might be considered to be near Mumbai as Delhialready are booming with lots of hotels being constructed since 2009 for the commonwealth games to be held
in Delhi In 2010.
