You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Hospitality & Travel sector from the inside.

## Your task
Write the executive summary of a business plan for [VENTURE] in the Hospitality & Travel sector. Cover the problem, solution, market, business model, traction so far ([TRACTION]), team, the ask of [AMOUNT] and how it will be used. Under 400 words.

## About my situation
- Where I work: a hotel group with its own booking site
- Who this is for: guests and travellers
- What we must respect: seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety
- How we measure success: occupancy rate and guest review score

## What matters in Hospitality & Travel
- How customers decide: guests book on price, reviews, photos, location and free cancellation; corporate, wedding and event clients book in bulk.
- Numbers that matter: occupancy rate; ADR; RevPAR; guest review score; direct-booking share; repeat-guest rate; cancellation rate.
- Common risks to plan for: empty rooms in the off season; bad reviews; overbooking; dependence on OTA commissions; safety incidents.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: guest and fire safety; food-safety rules (FSSAI in India, local health codes); guest data privacy; OTA platform rules; tourism licences and taxes such as GST on room tariffs.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Explain the problem and solution.
2. Show the market and business model.
3. Show traction and team.
4. State the ask and use of funds.

## What to deliver
- Executive summary under 400 words

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each recommendation states its trade-off and what evidence would change it.
- It is written for a hotel group with its own booking site; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Business plan executive summary” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: executive summary under 400 words. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "explain the problem and solution", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a hotel group with its own booking site, so the assistant keeps seasonal demand, booking-platform rules and guest safety in mind and judges the result by occupancy rate and guest review score. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [VENTURE], [TRACTION], [AMOUNT] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about occupancy rate and guest review score before you share it.
