Srilanka hotel industry has big competition with other Hotels. In 5stars Hotels be differentiation other hotels. Because they have competition with others.5stars customers high class customers in srilanka or others .lot of customers are using social media. Hotels must manage their social media to identify customer’s needs and wants and promote service. Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel  is very famous hotel in Colombo. But hotel have faced big competition .in social media their result is very good. Social media health score is 81.18 it is good score in social media. But they must enhance twitter and facebook audience to reach to customers. So i highlight, if we have big fan base but not talking about our brand, it’s not well. We want to something different say. So other media YouTube, blogs is helped to enhance our social media cover. Also Hotel Galadari, Cinnamon Grand Hotels are handling social media very effectively. Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel wants to differentiate to get effective result in social media.
