The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the entire travel and hospitality industry. With millions of people stuck at home and governments enforcing lockdown measures, it can be tough to see how hotels and other accommodation establishments recover from this.<\/p>\n

But there is a silver lining. Once lockdowns begin to ease and people feel more confident to go out while following health precautions, the industry can experience a significant rise. According to data from Triptease, South Korea has experienced a\u00a0considerable rise in bookings\u00a0after COVID-19 has been mostly contained around mid-March.<\/p>\n

When other parts of the world reach that point, it\u2019s crucial for hotel managers and staff to be prepared to take advantage. Below are three strategies to consider:<\/p>\n

Continue engaging customers<\/h2>\n

Even though people are quarantined at home and canceling their travel plans, this should not be an excuse to reduce engagement. If anything, this is a crucial time for hotels to boost their presence through online content. The goal is to maintain customer relationships with your brand.<\/p>\n

Review content on your website\u2014social media accounts as well, if you have them\u2014to ensure that information is up-to-date and accurately reflects the current situation. You can post blogs and other pieces geared toward stoking the desire to travel once the pandemic lifts. Give people a reason to hope for something better.<\/p>\n

Use email campaigns to your advantage. This tried and tested platform is one of the key gateways where you can reach a broad range of customers. If the hotel plans to open before the year ends, publish relevant information to set people\u2019s expectations. Will there be new rules? What will be the business hours? Be sure to also provide specifics on health and sanitation measures to ensure the safety of guests.<\/p>\n

Create an evolving marketing plan<\/h2>\n
