dc.description	The theory of demand and supply goes a long way to affect businesses; with more hotels opening up customers have more choice and therefore businesses must differentiate themselves from others. In Ghana, the hotel industry contributes much to the country’s GDP. There is evidence that the hotel industry is growing, and thereby the competition, in the Ashanti Region is increasing. According to the Ghana statistical service the number of accommodation establishments in the country increased from 580 in 1995 to 1,313 in 2004, registering 126.4 percent increase, at an average annual growth rate of 9.2 percent. Similarly, the number of accommodation rooms grew from 7,618 in 1995 to 18,022 in 2004, registering 136.6 percent increase, at an average annual growth rate of 7.7 percent.	en_US
