Wherever the journey takes you - Part 2
Holiday hotel industry with creative ideas
n the holiday hotel industry, the demand of guests for quality increase in all areas. This requires a lot of empathy in individual needs, such as e.g. special experiences that can ideally be shared with others via social networks. Creative ideas for conception, operation and marketing are just as much in demand as the financial means necessary for implementation. Here the tough competition is likely to further widen the gap between success and failure. Replaceable bed castles have largely had their days, even if the guests are of course still looking at the price. The comparison at the mouse-click intensifies the competition.
It is therefore particularly important that the house and host treat the guest with an incomparable profile. The best way to do this is with the instrument of individual storytelling, which tells a credible story in marketing communication but also in the furnishings and offers of the company. Authenticity is the key here. However, the topic of “wellness” has reached its zenith after 30 years. Sustainability and health aspects are much more attractive, which are shown in many small details and appeal to those interested.
A key criterion for success is also the binding of the choosy and quite experimental guests to the respective house. This can only be achieved through permanent communication with the guest or even through their participation. The noble hotel-resort Weissenhaus is one of the pioneers here in Germany. In several financing rounds, investors and guests were able to participate in the hotel project through an investment company. In addition to the return, they also receive corresponding discounts when booking. In addition to such crowd funding concepts, it can be observed that the alternative accommodation options "hotel rooms" and "vacation homes" are growing closer together due to new financing models. The guest can spend his vacation for a certain period of the year in his - individually secured - property investment. For the remaining time, the operating company takes over the marketing under a comprehensive contract. This usually also buffers the individual utilization risks of the individual investor.
Not everything that glitters is gold.
Hotel properties were considered exotic in real estate investments for a long time, but they are now finally in the spotlight of interest. No wonder: they now promise better returns than many office properties. And in residential real estate people are now talking very blisteringly. In addition politicians are also unsettling investors and project developers through questionable legislative measures, which have a negative impact on new projects, especially in Berlin.
With hotels, the demand situation of customers willing to pay descent prices is in plan. Here the market still seems unaffected. However, one should take a very close look at the objects in the hotel boom. Core locations are recommendable, but are hardly available anymore with attractive returns, as demand is already priced in here. On the other hand, it is worth taking a look at the secondary cities around metropolises. They are also increasingly being discovered by tourists. Luxury hotels are generally only of interest to investors if one can realize sales profits through a quick exit. They are less suitable for a long-term and profitable "carefree investment".
In the budget area, on the other hand, there is still room for improvement due to the growing international demand for simple accommodation. Because of the confusion and the current dynamics of the very special hotel property market, we strongly recommend to get detailed advice. With HOTELINVEST you can be sure to be at the right place.
