Mistake No-32: Why Ignoring Emerging Travel Trends Makes Your Hotel Irrelevant
Guests have changed. Have you?
Dear Hotel Owners,
Guests today are not the same as 5 years ago.
They book through mobile, expect fast Wi-Fi, love Instagrammable spots, prefer eco-friendly stays, and trust Google more than brochures.
But many hotels are still running the old way. No updates. No new features. No changes.
📌 If you ignore what today’s guests want… they will ignore you.
What Happens If You Don’t Adapt?
❌ Your bookings will drop.
❌ Your hotel will look outdated.
❌ Younger travellers will skip your place.
❌ Competitors will grab your market.
Guests don’t just want a stay anymore. They want an experience.
And if you’re not offering that, they’ll move on.
Real Example – Two Hotels, Two Mindsets
Let me tell you a quick story.
Hotel A in Goa decided to ignore trends.
No social media updates, no modern interiors, no local experiences.
Their rooms were clean, but the vibe? Boring.
Their bookings slowly dropped, especially from younger couples and families.
Hotel B, nearby, started offering:
✅ Weekend wellness retreats
✅ Free Instagram photo spots
✅ Eco-friendly rooms with smart features
✅ Pet-friendly staycations
✅ Flexible check-ins for workation travellers
Guess what? They became fully booked even in off-season.
Because they understood one thing: trends change, and so must we.
So, What Can You Do Now?
Here are 5 simple things to start today:
1️⃣ Look at current trends on Instagram, YouTube & travel sites
2️⃣ Talk to your guests – ask what they enjoy & what’s missing
3️⃣ Update your website with modern visuals & clear packages
4️⃣ Offer small trendy experiences – candlelight dinners, jungle walks, rooftop breakfasts
5️⃣ Promote on platforms like Google, Instagram, and WhatsApp
The Opportunity Ahead 🚀
If you follow trends and act fast, you’ll:
✅ Attract the new-age traveller
✅ Increase direct bookings
✅ Stay ahead of other hotels in your area
✅ Build a modern brand your guests trust and love
