Type of Project/
Classification Etymology
Laxus is derived from the Latin word meaning to open up or loosen up.
Comprising the word “relax,” Laxus is a fitting name to an establishment which
provides comfort, luxury, and relaxation.
Concept
Laxus is a glamping type of lodging which provides innovative camping
experience without compromising comfort; while promoting environmental
awareness and sustainable development through the use of organic and eco-
friendly items and renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind power.
Location
Laxus Glamping Site will soon rise in Tingloy, Batangas. Tingloy is known
for its picturesque beach known as Masasa Beach, astounding view of the coral
reefs, and its crystal clear waters. It is surrounded by an overwhelming amount of
natural resources. Trees in the island will help cool down the temperature of the
vicinity. Only 1 hour boat ride from Anilao Port, the location is certainly
accessible enough for tourists to visit. Tingloy, Batangas is also filled with a
bountiful amount of activities and other possible recreational options.

integrating luxury and nature. It is engineered to promote green, organic, and eco-
friendly tourism without compromising the luxurious camping experience. Laxus

toxic and negativity, Laxus Glamping Site will surely bring relaxation to the
working class.

Housekeeping
Daily housekeeping will start from 2:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. Guest may opt
to refuse or reschedule housekeeping depending on their preference.
Menu
Each category in this selection is allocated with 8 rooms each. They are
allocated with a relatively bigger number to maximize profit. These
classifications of rooms cater to a small number of guests. These rooms are
ideal for transient guests or anyone travelling in a small group. These rooms
would generate the majority of the establishment’s revenue.
In this category, the selection is allocated with only 4 rooms. This type
can accommodate a relatively large number of guests. The room would be ideal
for a large group travelling together.

Marketing
Plan Summary
Laxus would be marketed as the perfect tropical organic green paradise it
truly is. Being endowed with the picturesque beach of Masasa, Laxus would be a
hot spot for tourists. The primary target market of Laxus would be the Millenials.
The target market would not be limited only to the Millenials. The establishment’s
target market would range from the working class to families. It will be marketed as
an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to the tranquil tropical paradise of
Tingloy. Providing a wide range of activities and sceneries, Laxus would not have a
hard time in gaining potential markets all over the Philippines
At Present
At present, Masasa beach is gaining popularity by local tourist, but not to a
great extent. Masasa beach has a very virgin setting in which little to no
development can be felt. In contrast to Masasa beach, neighboring beach (Anilao)
is very popular and developed. It is teeming with numerous accommodations both
private and public. Masasa beach is considered as a hidden gem, yet to be fully
discovered by tourist. Laxus aims to fully develop the location without
compromising its sustainability through the use of, but not limited to renewable
resources, green and organic products, and the likes.
UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS 34
COLLEGE OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
Laxus may also opt to resort in flyer and brochure printing to increase exposure
to nearby targets in the vicinity. Being a green, the printing of materials would be very
minimal. Printing would be done specifically on eco-friendly materials. The
establishment may even opt to print on leaves to present an innovative, yet eco-friendly
marketing tool.
UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS 35
COLLEGE OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
As marketing efforts are taking effect, more potential guest would increase. As
more potential guest increase, profitability of the hotel would likewise increase. As
guest would have the opportunity to experience the products and services of Laxus, the
marketing tool of Viva Voce or Word of Mouth may hopefully take place.
Existing plans during the previous year would be reviewed and refined
meticulously for errors and failed executions. All evaluations would be solely based on
concrete facts and data presented.
Marketing Tool
1. Social Media
Social media is among the world’s most prominent way of
communication. It would be rational to make use of such a powerful tool to
market Laxus. The millennials are extensively engrossed in social media,
making it an ideal place to market the products and services to them. Social
medias such as, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter will be
used extensively to communicate the products and services that Laxus will
provide.
In addition to such stated above, millennials are known for sharing
travel experiences through social media. Through this, Laxus may get indirect
(not to mention free) marketing exposure.
2. Internet
Several online sites flash paid advertisement while users are within the
site (e.g. YouTube). Laxus will market its products and services in such
websites to increase knowledge and be able to reach more audience, thus
providing more potential guests.
UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS 38
COLLEGE OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
3. Word of Mouth/Viva Voce
One of the most effective and cost-efficient marketing tool is the “Viva
Voce” or the “Word of Mouth.” Once guests are satisfied or delighted, they
recommend the destination to their families and friends. Likewise, their families
and friends would also share their experiences on the destination creating a web
of costless advertising. One has to note that this marketing technique may also
pose detrimental impacts on the establishment.
5. Sponsorship
Sponsoring event in line with Laxus’ ideals would be an excellent opportunity
to communicate the products and services the hotel has to offer. These
sponsorships are not limited to events and causes. Sponsorship may also be in
the form of sponsoring a travel blogger and the likes.
7. Contest
Laxus would set up contests on social media to further increase
exposure. A contest would be strategically placed in a highly active social
media platform (such as Facebook and Instagram). The contest would be about
the target market’s opinion of their perfect holiday and why. Their entries would
be require to have the hashtag #Relaxus (may be prior to change) to create a
thread of entries (hopefully trend). The winning entry would be awarded with an
all-inclusive overnight stay at Laxus. From this marketing strategy, exposure
would dramatically increase while at the same time, provide an opportunity for
the target market to experience the destination firsthand (hopefully leading to
Viva Voce and loyal guests).
UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS 39
COLLEGE OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
™ Competitive Edge
Laxus would be marketed as the perfect tropical organic green paradise.
Glamping is certainly not a traditional type of accommodation. Consequently,
limited establishment offer such an innovative take on accommodation. Laxus
would provide a glamorous take on traditional camping. Several target markets
of the establishment (e.g. business class) are quite demanding and relatively
comfort conscious. Traditional camping would certainly turn them off as
comfort would be compromised. Laxus would provide the traditional feel of
camping without compromising comfort and luxury making it a more desirable
option. Millennials are also very site sensitive. They prefer to choose locations
with visually attractive sites. Being situated on the seaside of Masasa beach,
Laxus would meet their demands of being visually attractive. Millennials are
also in to innovative things. They prefer to experience new things rather than
the traditional setup of accommodation (which the neighboring competition
offers). Glamping would certainly interest millennial looking for a good run for
their money.

™ Financial Assumptions
In the projection of the financial information for Laxus, including the sales budget, cost
of service budget, cash budget, budgeted income statement, and balance sheet, the
following points should be noted:
x The sales projection utilized the standard rates of the company. Any effects of
discounts or promos are disregarded for simplicity.
x The weekly sales and projected occupancy for guest rooms were computed
using a sales projection tool that utilizes the appeal to customers (glamping
appeal), and that information was used to project the monthly sales for the first
year (Appendix 1.A & 1.B). The fluctuation in monthly occupancy and sales
was patterned from the data on tourism from Singapore (Appendix 1.C).
x The sales and occupancy rate for the first year was then used as the base year to
project the annual sales and occupancy rate from year 2 to year 6 (Appendix 1.D
& 1.E). The annual growth in sales was patterned on a company also engaged in
the hotel industry in Asia.
x The revenues generated from recreational facilities were likewise estimated
using the tool employed for guest rooms. Monthly sales were computed using
an average days per month of 30 days (Appendix 1.F).
x The per annum increase in sales and occupancy rate as applied to sales in guest
rooms was also utilized in projected the six-year revenue from recreational
facilities (Appendix 1.G)
x Laxus employs the cash basis on sales, in that there will be no credit sales for
the forthcoming six-year period. This policy is then used to project the yearly
cash receipts from sales from guest room rentals and recreational facilities
(Appendix 1.H)
x The primary variable costs that Laxus will incur would be that for the
consumables, i.e., organic toiletries, and food allowance per visitor. As such,
the two items were deemed as direct materials in the computation of the cost of
service of the company. Expenditures for first aid kit was designated as indirect
material, because of materiality.
x In the production budget (Appendix 2), the following assumptions were noted:
x The first aid kit per room is consumable for one year;
x Organic toiletry is good per person only. Hence, total cost for toiletries
for the year was projected using the average occupancy rate for that year
(see Appendix 1.D);
x Food Allowance is for each visitor. Projected annual expenditures for
food allowance was likewise based on the average occupancy rate for
each year (see Appendix 1.D)
UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS 42
COLLEGE OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
x The per unit price for first aid kit, organic toiletries, and food allowance was
held constant for the six-year projection period.
x In the construction of the purchase budget for the consumables, the following
information was held:
x Desired ending inventory for both first aid kit wand organic toiletries was
set at 10% of the next year’s production needs. Ending inventory level
was set to satisfy initial operation needs every year, and to avoid any
stock-out problems.
x The ending inventory requirement for food allowance was set at lower
rate (two percent of next year’s production needs) due to the perishable
nature of the item. The amount is determined to be good for the first two
weeks of operations for the year. The remaining yearly requirement will
be purchased throughout the course of the year.
x All purchases will be made on cash basis.
x The salaries expense budget was based on the organizational aspect of the paper
and the compensation data provided therein. The following items are to be noted
for the said budget:
x Each employee was subjected to the statutory contributions (SSS,
Philhealth, and Pag-ibig Fund). Both the employer and employee will
shoulder their respective contribution.
x All statutory contributions were computed based on the most recent
contribution tables applicable to each type of contribution. The
employee’s share on the contribution, together with the tax on
compensation income, is to be withheld and deducted from their salary
(Appendix 4.B).
x Each employee is entitled to a per annum bonus of P5,000. The bonus is
a tax-exempt remuneration; hence no tax shall be withheld there from.
x The salary expense is computed as the annual gross salary for each
employee (including the bonus), plus the employer’s share in the
statutory contributions.
x All compensation, together with the withheld contributions and taxes,
are paid out on the same year incurred, hence no liability was set up for
the said item.
x The labor cost for the rank-and-file and blue-collared jobs in the food
department, room service, and guest reception formed part of the direct
labor cost. Any supervisory position on those departments composed the
labor overhead cost. Both the direct labor cost and labor overhead cost
shall form part of the cost of service.
x All other labor cost will form part of the operating salaries expense.
UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS 43
COLLEGE OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
business taxes are paid for in the subsequent year, but the rest is paid on
the year incurred.
x In computation of the cost of service (cost of sales) (Appendix 8), the following
is worth emphasizing:
x Of the consumables, only the organic toiletries and food allowance was
deemed direct cost; the cost of first aid kit was considered indirect
material.
x The segregation of the labor cost as to direct labor and service overhead
was based on the explanation noted on the salaries expense budget,
(please see above note).
x Of the fixed assets, the depreciation expenses for room facilities,
recreational facilities, and public bathroom shall form part of the
overhead.
x All items, except depreciation, are on cash-basis.
x As for the cash budget (Appendix 9), the items which will be paid out in cash
are noted on the above discussions. It is worth emphasizing that only the
annual business taxes, and any income tax payable, is paid out on the
subsequent year. All the initial investment (fixed assets, initial working
capital, and initial business registration cost) are paid out on the first year.
Interest expense was based on the loaned amount of P4,500,000 at an average
rate of 5.64%, and is paid out at the end of each year. The loan shall be paid
out at the beginning of the sixth year (not shown on the budget). There are no
more capital expenditures and external financing made after the first year.
x For the budgeted income statement (Exhibit 1), the income tax expense was
broken down into the current tax expense (based on the taxable income), and
the deferred tax expense (based from any temporary differences) (see
Appendix 10). Tax rate applied is 30%.
x The statement of financial position (Exhibit 2) was categorized using the
current-non-current standard classification. Current items are those which are
expected to be realized or consumed within one year as at the end of the
reporting period, and the non-current items are those which are expected to be
realized/consumed for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting
period. The deferred tax asset presented under the line Other Assets was due to
the Net Operating Loss Carry-Over (NOLCO) incurred on the first year (see
Appendix 10).
x The statement of cash flows (Exhibit 3) was prepared using the indirect
method. Net income was adjusted for the non-cash expenses and gains, and the
changes in working capital were also affected to determine the cash flows
from operations. The cash flows from operations are those pertaining to

The following table itemizes the initial capital expenditures and other outlays
needed to start up the business.
For the breakdown of the fixed assets, please see the depreciation schedule
(Appendix 5). As for the initial working capital, this pertains to those current assets that
are needed to start up the operation. The first aid kit needed for the whole first year was
purchased on the onset, while for the organic toiletries; the one-month equivalent of the
first year’s production needs was used. The initial expenditure for the food allowance
was based on an estimated 128 visitors during the first two weeks of the company. The
initial business registration cost was based on the computation made, as per appendix 6.

™ Financial Expenditures and Proposed Budget
Based from the initial cost of investment of almost P18 million, as per exhibit A
from the above segment, the business proponents propose an initial capitalization of
P19, 000,000, broken down as follows:
INITIAL CAPITALIZATION
Estimated Initial Financing:
Bank Loan ₱ 4,500,000.00
Common Stock ₱ 14,500,000.00
TOTAL INITIAL
CAPITALIZATION ₱ 19,000,000.00
Exhibit B
The proponents determined a capital structure of roughly 25:75, i.e, nearly 25.%
of the funds will be sourced from creditors, and 75% will be from owners. The debt
financing will be sourced from an identified bank here on the Philippines, and based
from an online source (http://www.tradingeconomics.com/philippines/bank-
lending-rate), the average loan rate is 5.64%. It was assumed that the loan is payable
after five years, or at the beginning of the sixth year, and interest is payable at the end
of each year.
