No matter your position in the hospitality industry, your focus should always be on your customers and guests. Making people comfortable and offering them an enjoyable experience is the standard expectation of the industry. 

But, there’s no question that the world is changing. 

We’ve been through nearly two years of a global pandemic, which has created a shift in the way people work, travel, and live. On top of that, there’s growing concern over the sustainability of the planet. Throw in social issues and unrest in certain cities, and it becomes pretty clear as to why shifting your strategies might be important in the coming year. 

The good news? Things like an increase in remote work and “revenge travelers” may cause you to see an influx of customers and guests this year. But, it’s important to be prepared to meet their needs and have a clear understanding of our world’s current landscape. So, what can you do to make necessary changes and keep the customer in the front of your mind?

But with so many new tools entering the market each day, where should you start? And how can you give your marketing a boost without forking out an arm and a leg?

When they book a hotel reservation, people look forward to numerous amenities, but many prioritize the property’s in-house dining experience. An on-site restaurant makes things easy when guests are away from home and may even become a favorite venue for locals. 

People traveling for work or on a holiday have different preferences -, couples on holidays may prefer to dine in a more romantic or intimate setting whereas those traveling for work may require a more business-like atmosphere, or even sometimes opt for food-to-go.

For many people, their pets are a part of the family. Some travelers wouldn’t dare to leave home without bringing their four-legged friend along. As a result, more hotels across the country are becoming pet-friendly. 

Having amenities for pets is a great way to attract more guests to your establishment. They don’t have to worry about boarding their animal somewhere, and they can enjoy themselves more knowing their furry friend is nearby. Post a few cat-or-dog-friendly perks about your hotel on social media as part of your marketing strategy, and you might be surprised by how quickly the reservations come in!

But, before you decide if allowing pets in your hotel is right for you, it’s important to implement a pet policy. Unruly animals can become a liability. You might have messes to deal with that you didn’t expect. Other guests don’t want to hear a barking dog at all hours of the night. 

Those are just a few things to keep in mind as you create a policy for pet owners. Let’s dive a little deeper with guest blogger Adrian Johansen, into what your pet policy should include making everyone happy and comfortable – including the animals!
