                            <p>Best Western Hotels &amp; Resorts (BW) işletmesi “Vib” adı altında yeni birim marka oluşturmuştur. İlk BW Vib Oteli ise 2017 yılında BW Vib Antalya olarak açılmıştır. Vib’in marka konseptine karşın, BW Vib Antalya, Antalya şehir merkezinin dışında bulunmaktadır. Bu durum ise bir zayıf nokta olarak görülebilmektedir. Temel olarak otelin konum seçimine bağlı pazarlama problemleri ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu vaka çalışmasının temel amacı BW Vib Antalya’nın mevcut durumunu belirtmek ve BW Vib Antalya’nın pazarlama ile ilgili problemlerini araştırmaktır. Vaka çalışması analizini zenginleştirmek için Otel Yöneticisi ile yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme yapılmıştır. Derinlemesine yapılan analiz sonucunda genel anlamda otelin konumunun gelirleri olumsuz yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Buna karşın, otel yönetimi bu olumsuz durumun üstesinden gelmek amacıyla çeşitli pazarlama faaliyetleri gerçekleştirmektedir.</p></trans-abstract>

The first BW Vib Hotel opened as BW Vib Antalya in 2017. Despite Vib&#039;s brand concept, BW Vib Antalya is located outside of the city center of Antalya, which could be seen as a weakness. There are some marketing related problems mainly because of the location selection of the Hotel. The main aim of this case study is to describe the current situation of BW Vib Antalya and investigate marketing related problems regarding BW Vib Antalya. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the Hotel Manager in order to enrich the case study analysis. The in-depth analysis showed that in general, the location of the hotel negatively effects the revenue levels. However, the management is trying to overcome this with some marketing activities.</p></abstract>
