Challenges Faced by Businesses in the Hospitality Industry
In the hospitality industry, the main focus is on ensuring customer satisfaction by catering to leisurely needs rather than basic ones. This industry heavily relies on the availability of leisure time and disposable income.
The hospitality industry is divided into four sectors: lodging (accommodations), travel & tourism, food & beverage, and recreation. With people increasingly spending on experiences, the hospitality sector is experiencing growth. This trend can be attributed to globalization and changes in lifestyles, as more people feel the urge to travel and explore new places.
However, despite its appealing features, the hospitality industry faces numerous challenges. Let’s discuss a few of them:
Limited Resources
Hiring full-time employees mean long-term cost implication both for cost and operational space. The space is utilised for workstations, placement computer systems, and so forth, which could be used for functional purposes.
Seasonal Business
The hospitality industry is a primarily seasonal business, so that you might have low sales in the off-seasons and high footfall and sales in peak seasons. The revenue is exceptionally fluctuating.
Unpredictable Events
The hospitality industry is very vulnerable and quickly gets affected by natural factors. People may not be traveling by choice or due to government rules and regulations. This sector can suffer significantly to the extent that many small businesses have to close their operation.
