I intend to open a small hotel. We are a small county, but recently we heard that a hotel will be built. Will it affect me here?

It depends on the distribution of tourists in your place. Actually, this question is a bit complicated. But the preparation of any hotel or guesthouse needs to analyze the local market, otherwise how can this business be done?

When you say you want to open a new hotel, you can ask the other party about their location. If it's a 2-3 star hotel, it may surprise you a little. But if it's 4 stars (in fact, it's not realistic to build 4 stars in a small county, let's put it this way), then it's none of your business. But if it's in a small county or even a hotel, it's estimated to be 2-3 stars, depending on you. What grade, price, customers and market does your small hotel target? If you can position yourself well, you will still make money.
