Anonymous,

your approach is pretty solid, no major flaws there.

I would, however, challenge your business sense:

If I would have to attack something, I would first challenge you on the business travel assumption.

1. First of all, most business travel is domestic, so why should they be a percentage of a totally unrelated number?
2. Also, why would you assume that foreign tourists spend more nights per person? An average foreign tourist spends maybe a week in France (remember, you're counting people doing an overnight trip to Paris as well as those spending a month on the Côte d'Azure).
3. Most people who travel for business travel far more than that. So I would assume that business travellers make up most of the nuitées.

Hope this helps,

Elias

Hi Anonymous,

I would comment as follows on your structure:

• Good idea to divide in channels
• Business travellers could indeed be locals as well as mentioned by Elias, this seems to be the biggest issue with your structure
• There is no explanation why foreign business travellers stay longer than locals

Given your structure was ok besides minor refinements, it could be that communication was the main issue in this case. Whether you present an overall structure, or you go through each point in an unstructured fashion could indeed make quite a difference in the interviewer perception.

Best,

Francesco
