Dear Hoteliers,
The past year has been nothing short of an uphill battle against a deadly monster that devoured millions of lives and livelihoods, second by second, hour by hour, day by day. And the hospitality management industry is no exception. The pandemic monster swept us into uncharted waters, kicking many out of the frame (and life). Though most of us are trying our level best to keep our heads above these waters, many have drowned and many are calling for help.
Agreed, that winds of change have never impacted our industry so fiercely before - ripping communities apart and feeding on our livelihoods. With growth halted due to constant and sometimes abrupt revisions in the standard operating procedures (SOPs) across geographies and a dwindling travel ecosystem dreading one blow after the other, millions of our fellow hoteliers are left reeling in shock. While those equipped with survival kits have begun picking up the pieces, for a vast majority, 2020 will go down as a year of traumatic experiences.

With the world facing the worst crisis on record, all indications are that true seismic shifts are yet to be experienced after COVID-19 has officially ended. Therefore, it is time to reinvent the wheel and adapt hospitality units to the new ways of attracting patrons.
Listed below are 5 critical strategies which, when followed, can help meet the unprecedented global crisis and bring your company back in the game!
1. Shift your focus on changing consumer behavior
The pandemic has introduced many unforeseeable variables fogging up the prospects of the hospitality management sector. Due to many cross-contamination methods, the “culture of sharing” has been suspended. This has left the hotel industry to fend for itself. The imposed lockdown restrictions have greatly affected the operations, challenging the coordinative and collaborative skills of hoteliers across the globe. Due to these uncertain changes, hotels need to review their existing policies and adapt themselves to new-age customers - all well-informed and logical thinkers. They should opt for personal serving spoons, contactless delivery in dining halls, redesigned menus to suit the customers’ palate, and delivering single portion servings to meet the crisis eye to eye! They also need to plan ahead of the surging demands without compromising on their service quality to make up for their plummeting sales during the pandemic.
2. Become tech-savvy
Technological advancements have infiltrated everything nowadays. Hardly a day goes by without a new gizmo or gadget flooding our markets with the promise of becoming the most convenient tool ever launched. And this has transformed the dining scenes altogether. How? As no customer can survive without their smartphone, your restaurant needs to equip itself with all the latest search methods, payment options, and even cryptocurrency to meet the changing technology and its prospects. Cloud computing and machine learning algorithms can greatly benefit an organization in becoming more prevalent in the industry. Apart from this, convenience food menus, frozen meals, and dining kits should be introduced as their demand is likely to increase once the pandemic ends.
3. Maintain and Renovate
Coronavirus has been a challenge for the entire hospitality management industry, forcing them to close their doors till the threat decreases. However, it can be turned into an opportunity by utilizing this time to catch onto improvements. Whether it concerns spontaneous renovation drive or improving your planning, now is the time to do it. To begin this transformation, hoteliers can create a laundry list of items that need maintenance or even replacement. If your hotel’s ambiance is not up to par, consider upscaling it to attract more patrons once the world reopens. A deep cleaning drive is also something you should conduct to meet the imposed health restrictions that the COVID-19 outbreak has unleashed on the world as a whole.
4. Reconsider marketing avenues
In order to support lockdown control methods, many customers avoided shopping groceries in person and relied more on online delivery services, thereby accelerating online shopping businesses. Also, work-from-home impositions made social media apps like Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc, popular communication tools. To cope with this shift in consumption and integration, hoteliers should reconsider their marketing campaigns and move them online. They should also make use of diverse platforms to transform their one-way communication endeavors into successful two-way sessions, in line with their online presence.
5. Secure with cybersecurity
As the hotel industry has become more dependent on online technologies, they have a greater chance of experiencing cyber-attacks, like ransomware attacks, voice phishing, distributed denial of service attacks, and many more. These attacks can cause serious threats and losses to the hotel industry. Thus, they need to be closely monitored and managed using cybersecurity measures.

The picture after COVID-19
As devastating as this outbreak may seem, the silver lining is emerging in the form of the vaccine roll-out. And since several countries are recovering, the post-pandemic economy does look hopeful, if only we understand the changed consumer behavior and scenario for recovery. The time is ripe for businesses to manage their operational realities to thrive in the new normal. As the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus said, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”
