Smoke-Free Hotels Embraced as the Future

No Smoking

If you haven’t noticed, over the past few years the entire hotel industry, from top to bottom, has been slowly transitioning to a smoke-free environment. Not only is this a direct response to the health issues of second-hand smoke, but it also directly confronts safety issues associated with smoldering cigarettes.

Examples include burn marks from lit cigarettes, damage to furnishings, risk of fire, and nuisance fire alarms. Each hotel has the potential of saving tens of thousands of dollars yearly by going smoke free.

Hospitality Industry Equipment

In every respect, the money saved by going smoke free can be invested into hospitality industry equipment, and more specifically, powered equipment for housekeepers and maintenance personnel.

Housekeeping is the backbone of every hotel, and powered equipment, such as linen carts and housekeeping supply carts, will make the hotel staff more effective and better still, more efficient every time they clean a room.

A powered cart for maintenance employees allows moving heavy tools and equipment with ease. Not only does it cut down on potential injuries, but it allows maintenance personnel to move quicker and easier through halls and passageways. There’s no more straining and pulling to get from one place to another as it is far easier to steer around corners, into rooms and around customers.

Travel and Hospitality

Low fuel prices and increasing market competition will spell changing attitudes among travel industry companies and consumers in 2016, Jay Rein recently explained to Travel Pulse. As travelers hit the road and skies more, businesses will need to get creative to increase market share.

Rein, of the software solutions provider EPAM Systems, outlines the changing face of travel in 2016:

  • Airfare wars will increase due to low fuel costs
  • Consolidation and emerging companies will compete on pricing and service bundles
  • Optional features may be added as standard amenities to attract consumers’ attention
  • Technology will become more integrated into every step of the travel experience

Tips for the Hospitality Industry to Gain Customers in 2016

Customized experiences and integrated tech will be major sources of change in the travel industry. An airline might offer in-flight Wi-Fi and gourmet food, while hoteliers and other hospitality industry leaders will have to find their next differentiator.

Hotels can tailor the guest experience with enhanced services such as early check-in and late check-out. Common areas are becoming more like dynamic spaces for dining, wireless computing, and casual gatherings that better suit today’s travelers.

At the heart of the changes: technology that makes it affordable for companies to offer attractive features. Our own powered hospitality carts are one tool that help hotels streamline housekeeping and janitorial work. When employees can efficiently clean rooms on-demand and respond to maintenance needs with less physical strain, the customer experience can be upgraded.
