After more than a year of being home-bound because of the pandemic, over two-thirds of Americans have
a “ready-to-travel” state-of-mind resulting in summer travel plans — 72.8% are expected to travel for leisure
within the next three months. This sudden surge in bookings shows that many are locking in reservations
and rates before it’s too late.
At the same time, we know that many hoteliers have deferred maintenance and were slow to make repairs
and replace items. Uninhabitable rooms were simply removed from available inventories during the
past year. But all that has to stop now as occupancy rates are expected to exceed this summer to
2019 levels. An accurate inventory of rooms and any maintenance required needs to be taken with the goal
of readying your hotel for 100% occupancy.
At the least, travelers are expecting improved hygiene and facilities — things like QR codes, contactless
check-in and plastic wrap on remotes. But they are also looking for great amenities (like improved
guest rooms, on-site gyms, pool areas and restaurants) to make their first post-COVID family trips truly
special, memorable and safe.
