Company Description

Diageo's company parties must be the talk of the town. It is the leading premium spirits business in the world by volume, net sales, and operating profit. The company produces and distributes eight of the world's top 20 spirits brands. It is also one of the few international drinks companies that spans the entire beverage alcohol market, offering beer, wine, and spirits. Diageo's well-known brands include Smirnoff vodka, Baileys Irish Cream liqueur, Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky, José Cuervo tequila, Tanqueray gin, Captain Morgan rum, Guinness beer, and wines from Sterling Vineyards and Beaulieu Vineyard. Although spirits are sold worldwide, subsidiary Diageo North America generates about one-third of the sales.

          Demand is driven by personal disposable income. The profitability of individual establishments depends on occupancy rate and operational efficiency. Larger B&Bs may have advantages in providing a range of offerings and prices to suit a variety of traveler budgets. Small establishments can compete effectively by offering superior customer service to target markets. B&Bs compete for overnight accommodations with other hospitality establishments such as hotels, motels, extended-stay inns, country inns, RV parks, and campgrounds.
