During the 1990s, the Jamaican hotel industry was one dominated by three players: Sandals, RIU and Grande Bahia. The three firms have further distinguished themselves in niche categories such that Sandals offers discounts for children under thirteen, RIU is an adult only hotel and Grand Bahia caters specifically to couples. It is an increasingly competitive market whereby firms are fighting just to maintain current market share.

Since the early 2000s, there has been a rise inthe availability boutique hotels as well as bookings via Airbnb. As a result, the three main players have seen a reduction in their market share as touristshave gravitated to these more cost-effective options.

- While there is a degree of differentiation between major grocery chains like Albertsons and Kroger, the regular offering of sale prices by both firms for many of their products provides evidence that these firms engage in price competition. For markets where Albertsons and Kroger are the dominant grocers, this suggests that these two stores simultaneously announce one of two prices for a given product: a regular price or a sale price. Suppose that when one firm announces the sale price and the other announces the regular price for a particular product, the firm announcing the sale price attracts 1,000 extra customers to earn a profit of $5,000, compared to the $3,000 earned by the firm announcing the regular price. When both firms announce the sale price, the two firms split the market equally (each getting an extra 500 customers) to earn profits of $2,000 each. When both firms announce the regular price, each company attracts only its 1,500 loyal customers and the firms each earn…While there is a degree of differentiation between major grocery chains like Albertsons and Kroger, the regular offering of sale prices by both firms for many of their products provides evidence that these firms engage in price competition.
