When an experience “fosters a sense of social connection…makes a memorable story…for years to come…links to your sense of who you are or want to be…[and] provides a unique opportunity, eluding easy comparison,” (Dunn and Norton, 2013, p. 20), it creates a memory that is cherished far more than a material good. The generation of a lasting impression offers a happiness that increases with time. Businesses, such as restaurants and tourism industries, apply this concept by advertising the experience their company delivers. For example, a restaurant must create a market to entice people into choosing it over all the other existing food options while for tourism to have success, it must market a once in a lifetime opportunity to give value to experience. People are more willing to forgo the cheap alternative as long as they find that the value, both monetary and happiness, overshadows the increased expense.

The hospitality industry in the United States is large, complex and intensely competitive. Within this industry is a segment comprised of hotels and motels, which will be the relevant sector for this marketing plan. To note, the hotel and motel industry in the United States had an estimated value of $137.5 billion as of the end of 2012 (MarketLine, 2012). The industry is forecasted to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2011 to 2016, to attain a value of $179.5 billion (MarketLine, 2012).
