What are the hotel business trends? What can be done to make the hotel generate income?

Is this the essay question on your Hotel & Restaurant Management final exam?

It seems to me that the main feature of the hotel business is that its growth does not stop even during the global economic crisis. No matter how things are in the economy, the middle class around the world does not deny itself travel during the summer and Christmas holidays. In today's world, everything is changing and this also applies to hotels. For example, many hotels are the first to use innovation: make smart rooms, use mobile applications for reservations, and so on. By the way, I advise you to pay attention to the article https://www.intellectsoft.net/blog/hospitality-and-hotel-industry-trends/ from which you yourself will understand a lot.

The most interesting development in our industry that I have heard about this year is sub-metering guest room utilities. Many hotels already charge energy surcharges but, hotel guests are legendary consumers of power and water. They leave lights on all day, they set the A/C or heat at extreme temperatures neither or which they would ever do in their own homes.

I'm sure the lay person will tell us to simply raise our rates to accommodate the usage, rather than "nickel and diming" guests. Is it really nickel and diming someone to charge them for the utilities THEY chose to use?

Smart rooms as mentioned above would have a motion detector and IR sensor to detect occupancy could then revert the HVAC and lighting to low power, high efficiency settings upon vacancy to help the guests and the hotel itself, manage our footprint. As a career hotelier, I like this idea. In the end, as is always the case in my field, guest reaction and buying decisions will dictate implementation and use.

Why the fuck would we ever stay in a libtarded hotel that meters your energy 'footprint'?


Go ahead, 'woke' yourself right out of demand. You seem to forget why people pay way too much money to stay in your bedbug infested craptels in the first place.

Politics...getting woke...has simply nothing to do with it. Every business must always be looking at ways of innovating and offering new goods and services and transacting business in new ways to both increase profits and customer satisfaction.

Look at Sears...with all of that brand equity built up as a household American standard, they should have become what Amazon has become. But, no...they insisted on pushing catalogs and brick and mortar and it drove them right out of business.

Again, in hospitality, the market will dictate itself. Our entire empire is centered around guest service. If sub-metering proves unpopular, it won't be around long.

Profitability in the US hotel industry has much to do with reducing the attractiveness to the negros. There is nothing that saps income from a business faster than the presence of the negro. As we say - avoid the groid.

Having an app became a must at this point. I bet companies like https://reinvently.com/ are really satisfied with the situation. Anyway, I want to say that when you can use an app to book a room and pay for it in a few minutes, it's really convenient so I definitely like this trend.

I have found that if you let a couple of the better hookers hang in the bar you get more repeat business men.

Those hotels I later booked the room with normally ask me to subscribe to their updates and special offers. Then with the help of sms group message company they send me SMS. Some of those messages I delete, but some work really great for me. Once I got a 30% discount to the hotel of my dream so thanks to them they helped me to make my dream come true.

Hoofa!... for the fugly chick in red on the left. Some poor guy right now has to look at her and smell that awful shnoz breath.
