Hotel railway car. Now, you aren’t ready for!

We’ve been introducing you to anti-pandemic hotel ideas from all over the world every week, so in this instalment, we’ll talk about Russia. We found a rather ingenious accommodation idea in this country.

Live in a converted railroad car hotel? In comfort? Seems unheard of, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what a Russian railroad company did. Surprisingly, businesses have already got on board with the idea as a great accommodation option for their staff.

The main reason being the quarantine restrictions and social distancing requirements are making it difficult for companies to ensure continuous operation, especially considering remote work. With the pandemic in full swing and its stringent social distancing orders, the option to accommodate staff in railroad cars is the perfect solution to an entire heap of issues.

What’s interesting is that a separate hotel car can arrive at the nearest station to the business looking to use its services. This enables companies to provide its employees with safe and comfortable accommodation, full meals and leisure services as well as medical isolation in case of employees arriving from affected regions.

The railroad company managing the hotel has already rented out a sleeper and a dining car. For over a month these cars will host 20 employees who will get three meals a day and enjoy a comfortable stay. The sleeper car features all the necessary conveniences for that – water and power supply systems, heater and a/c, lavatory and showers.

How Will European Hotels Compensate For Shutdown?

The tourism industry in Spain that has been growing for the past five years can’t survive without the outside traffic – pre-crisis it accounted for 40 to 50% of tourists. This is why hotels are very interested in a swift recovery of the tourist flow. The country is now anticipating the restart of international tourism.

The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez has announced the start of the season on July 1. The forecasts around the hotel sector jacking up the prices to recoup the losses caused by the lockdown have not yet been proven to be true. Quite on the contrary, hoteliers show readiness to keep the pre-covid booking terms, and even offer upgrades for the same price.

The highest hotel discounts compared to the regular pricing can be found in Mallorca. Hotels in this welcoming island paradise can offer discounts of up to 30%. Other resorts have 10-20% discounts on early booking.

A similar situation can be seen in other countries. Resorts are not the only ones to suffer. Popular tourist-oriented European capitals are not getting the traffic they used to even after the official green light from the authorities. “In June, Vienna saw a very small number of bookings, with occupancy no higher than 10%,” says ORF.at. That’s why booking prices there are much less than usual.

Analysts forecast the slump in occupancy and demand across the entire industry will continue until the fall season. Starting September, the business travel sector will begin to rebound, provided travel restrictions are at least relaxed. Large cities and tourist regions in Austria hope to bring back staff to pre-covid levels by the second quarter of 2021. Prices are expected to come back to old levels around the same time.

The Hotels Who Survived. Promotion During Crisis

What we’re currently going through has already been acknowledged as the worst tourism industry crisis since 1950. The United Nations World Tourism Organization has been making cautious forecasts for the recovery of the industry, and they mainly focus on fall-winter 2020. However, they mostly talk about domestic tourism.

The UNWTO has put forth three possible scenarios. The most optimistic one says that in 2020 international travel will drop to 60%. The worst-case scenario suggests the figure is 20%.
In this situation, hotels are trying to find a way out by offering early booking for the winter and next summer. This approach requires tourists to put tremendous trust in hotels. In a world where it isn’t easy to plan even one month, very few can afford to book this early. With that in mind, hotels need to show reliability and trustworthiness.

We believe that now it is especially important to invest in long-term relationships with your clientele as well as soften and reassure your potential clients. Even if the season is low, you shouldn’t put everything on hold and withdraw into the shadows – you will be forgotten and quickly replaced.

Then again, the domestic tourism sector is now thriving with opportunities that you shouldn’t pass up. It’s the best time to actively seek out new clients, build long-term relationships and promote domestic tourism in your country.

Your goal now is to get by until better times come, make the right moves and stay in the market!

New Offers From Oldest Luxury Hotel Group

The hospitality industry is waking up. Slowly but surely, hoteliers realize that the global change demands to be followed by a difference in their offers to the guests.

Today we will tell you about how the oldest luxury hotel group in Europe – Kempinski Hotels has refreshed its value proposition.

If you booked a room at any of the chain’s hotels across the world before 10 June 2020, you were eligible for the Make A Travel Promise offer. It includes a flexible cancellation policy and rebooking as well as a room upgrade, welcome drinks and a discount of up to 25% at restaurants and bars. The offer stands until late March 2021.

Besides, all hotels of the chain feature Staycations, targeted at guests from the immediate vicinity of the hotels. Both offers were developed as a response to the global halt in tourism due to COVID-19.

Thailand To Turn Away From Mass Tourism In Favour Of Wealthy

Coronavirus is, as always, unpredictably changing the market! Thailand might close down for tourists on a budget. The Tourism Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn believes it is essential to reset the country’s tourism strategy, after the coronavirus lockdown is lifted, by limiting the access for small tourists.

The authorities clarified that marketing efforts would be geared towards the wealthier individuals who have booked four and five-star hotels on Phuket, Ko Samui, Pha-ngan and Phi Phi. “If we don’t use this chance to create the most benefit for the industry, Thailand will lose out,” the minister said.

This topic was instantly picked up by social media communities. Judging from the general sentiment in the comments, most have brushed off the announcement.

Struggle For Tourists

One of the very first countries to express its intention to open back up without widespread testing of all visitors for #Covid19 was Turkey.

Starting 1 July all the major airports in Turkey will be equipped with special medical booths where visitors can test for coronavirus, said Turkish Tourism Minister Mehmet Ersoy in an interview with Anadolu. He clarified that tourists would be tested free of charge. It is planned to test visitors selectively, or if high fever and other symptoms are detected.

More than 727 hotels and about 900 restaurants applied for a “Safe Tourism Certification” that would indicate they had taken standard measures to prevent COVID-19 infections, the minister stated. The changes are being rolled out under the national tourism development program that plans to increase the tourist flow into the republic up to 75 million people by 2023.

“When you think of the hotels or service providers included in the certificate program, we are the safest in European standards in certified facilities. Turkey is one of the safest countries in Europe, but some processes are stalled due to economic reasons. It is unfair but done. We are gradually overcoming them by giving the correct answer to every question they bring to us,” said Mehmet Ersoy.

Open Over 50 Hotels Mid-Crisis? No Problem

It seems that some hotels weren’t affected by the crisis, among them Accor, a French hotel operator, which decided to add over 50 hotels to the TRIBE brand opening schedule.

This autumn TRIBE hotels will open in Paris, then Amsterdam and Warsaw. Initially, the hotels are set to open in the key European cities, including London, Berlin, Brussels, Lisbon and Vienna.

Accor decided to strengthen its position in the lifestyle sector by launching TRIBE – a new brand of hotels. It’s a new and fast-moving mid-range segment chain.

In the next 5 years, the brand is planned to launch another 150 hotels all over the world. The target audience for these hotels is the new generation of travellers who are looking for elite, but affordable offers.

TRIBE is an alternative lifestyle brand that will shake up the hospitality industry standards for the modern audience. TRIBE is designed as a unique urban environment, emphasizing public spaces and rooms that create a broader multifunctional environment where people feel at home despite being far from it.

Will Accor succeed in realizing such an ambitious plan? Time will tell!

Bulgarian Resorts See Tourists Pour In

The pandemic is backing down, and the hospitality industry in Europe is alive and kicking! Hotels on the Black Sea shore in Bulgaria sigh in relief as some see an 80% occupancy rate.

Beaches are teeming with people with not enough room to swing a cat.
Sunny Beach is also full of vacationers. Currently, the largest Black Sea resort in Bulgaria has some 40 hotels open and receiving visitors.

European tour operators have put their trust in the health safety measures taken by the Bulgarian authorities. Over just a few days the Burgas airport accommodated flights from Austria, Poland, and Slovakia. Is this a good signal? No doubt about it! The sector is coming back to life.

Digital Hospitality: Post-Pandemic Hotels

The hotel business has borne the brunt of the pandemic. The last months have demonstrated, however, that the industry is quickly changing. If short-term adjustments were mostly about health safety, long-term changes would affect the very idea and perception of travel and hotels.

We believe that the coronavirus epidemic has pushed hotel owners to make radical adjustments to cleaning, upgrade air filtration and ventilation systems, and ramp up contactless services across the board. However, these solutions should be implemented gradually. They also shouldn’t come as restrictions, but improvements to comfort and safety, maintaining a healthy balance of interests.

Among the measures that are important to implement as soon as possible: payment automation, voice-activated switches, locks, toilets. Apart from that, the hotels should shift towards such furniture and decoration materials that offer better antimicrobial characteristics.

It is less clear how the new social distancing principles will affect public space design. Restaurants, spa, lobbies will be likely to become more flexible and adaptable to stricter zoning on demand. When large public gathering restrictions are lifted, hotel chains will be able to expand conference hall admission, add new digital interfaces and multimedia capability, and combine online and offline events in one format.

The pandemic has proven that health safety standards can be considered a valuable asset that can be both monetized and converted into brand loyalty.
