Is your hotel prepared for the 2023 travel season?
American Paper & Twine, a Division of Imperial Dade
When you need it now, it's twine time.
Summer will be here before you know it, so now is a great time to prepare for expectant summer travelers. This year, in particular, you can plan on more guests than usual. According to American Express Travel's 2023 Global Travel Trends Report, 85% of respondents plan to take two or more leisure trips this year.
Travel + Leisure says 2022 was "the year of wading back into travel," and 2023 is "the year of diving in head first." In a post-COVID world, leisure travel has become a top priority, regardless of the expenses involved.
New Travel Expectations
Along with a deep desire to explore new places, 66% of travelers have higher expectations of safety and cleanliness. Since COVID taught us so much about maintaining good health practices, travelers are less forgiving of environments that are not clean and well-kept.
There's a good chance your hotel will see an increase in traffic this summer, so your team will need supplies to keep your visitors healthy, clean, and well-fed. Whether it's the bed they sleep in or the meals they eat, your guests deserve to be taken care of. Make sure that your hotel has an established cleaning process that keeps guests — and employees — safe and healthy.

Shared Spaces
Lobbies, check-in counters, fitness centers, and breakfast rooms are the most heavily trafficked areas of hotels. This makes them prime epicenters for spreading germs and illness. These are also a few of the places that give guests a first impression of your property, and you want to make a good one. Keep shared spaces clean for visitors by using these:
Food Service
Guests may enjoy room service or continental breakfast with other guests. Some will sit down to dine while others may grab and go. The food you serve will affect their dining experience but so will the availability of necessary food service items and the overall condition of the dining area.
