Independent ownership of the hotels is a bigger brand through connecting to the voluntary chains.

The hotel investment decision

The Hotel Investment decision – explained practically to this potential investor

Some things must be understood by the investor when investing in the hotel industry. as per the research, for hotel transactions 2015 was the second highest for a growth of 50% vs 2014. Investments in the hotel industry are different from the real estate asset classes like residential or commercial due to the different income-generating variables and cost drivers (Voronova, et al., 2020).

Some of the things which must be considered are:

1) The dynamic of the hotel business

To global economics, the hotel industry is much more sensitive. In this industry, there are higher capital investments and it involves more risk of failure which investors need to take into account. Hotels’ operating model means they are more at risk to the general conditions of the economy. Most decisions of capital and investment hinge on the net cash flow which is produced by the hotel.

Hotel revenue big chunk is derived from room occupancy and the rate of room combination. by consumers spending power some factors affect highly like general economic conditions and alternative availability.

When the engines of the economy are running full steam, businesses and consumer spending also fuel fresh investments and new hotels’ introduction in the market. When there are more rooms in the market it gives more bargaining power to the customers, hence some hotels are also forced to drop the rates of rooms to keep up the level of occupancy. However, it can also lead to a decline in revenue with sometimes not an increase in occupancy. If by this time in the life cycle of the hotel, the economic pace has slowed down, there is much more downward pressure on the rates of rooms to attract more customers in a slowing economy. The hotel new market also prompts existing hotels to up their facilities and services of investments (Khnykina, et al., 2020).

2) Location of the hotel

Another thing that must be considered when investing is the location of the hotel. The location of the hotel can be a losing or winning proposition for a hotel. Many things are considered so that hotels can perform strongly. Things like hotel visibility, access ease, parking, amount of competitors, proximity to various entertainment venues, or collaboration or presence with local corporate businesses may also contribute to the strong performance of the hotel. For changing dynamics, the local market should also monitor for example changes in society and demographic. These factors are not only crucial; for the operating performance of the hotel but also affect the property valuation. If the hotel is located in a market where there are various restrictions on entry, then it will discourage the new supply in the market. Therefore, it is important to decide on a good location for the hotel as its location exerts a huge influence on cash flows, revenues, and value (Kryukova & Khetagurova, 2020).

3) People

It is another thing that must be considered when deciding to do investment in the hotel market. Instead of investing in physical assets, it is often forgotten by investors that hotels are still considered in the service industry, driven by experiences and people. it does matter how good the location of the hotel is, no matter how good the infrastructure of the hotel is, it is the management team and hotel staff who can break or make the hotel. When the hotel provides poor services it can lead to unsatisfied customers which can reduce the guest’s reports and the spiral continues. There is a decline in the profits if the customers of the hotel are happy but the management team is unable to manage their costs. Hence, the performance of the hotel is dependent primarily on the team which it helps in operating the hotel. There are many instances where investments in the hotel were made depending on the great marketing conditions and positive ROI due to improper management, the hotel never realized its potential, which affected its exit value (Kryukova & Khetagurova, 2020).

4) Type of hotel

When making investment decisions another important thing that must be considered that which type of hotel investment needs to be made. Hotels are categorized into different types as per their services and amenities which are available.

  • The first type of hotel is a full-service hotel. From resorts to upscale and midscale brands and luxury brands. Full-service hotel offers various services and amenities like spas, on-site retail, restaurants, and meeting rooms. This type of hotel needs a large number of staff and it is based on the existing completion in the market heavily. This type of hotel includes the Hiltons, Marriott, four seasons, etc.
  • The second type of hotel is the select-service hotel. In this type of hotel, there are limited services like in the limited service properties but they still have a subset of the services which might be found in a full-service property. These types of hotels example are hotel indigo, Aloft, and Hilton garden inn. Etc.
  • The third type of hotel is a limited-service hotel. These hotels don’t have banquets or restaurant facilities but they still give some services like swimming pools, and fitness centers and have limited space. Some examples of these kinds of hotels like Fairfield inn, comfort inn, and Hampton.
  • The fourth type of hotel is an extended-stay hotel. This kind of hotel provides temporary housing and cater mainly to families who are undergoing business travelers and relocation on long assignment. Extended-stay hotel offers larger suite-style rooms. These rooms have at-home features like access to laundry and a kitchen. On longer stays, these hotels also offer some kind of discounts. This kind of hotel includes extended stay America, embassy suites and Hiltons Homewood suites, etc.
  • The fifth and last type of hotel is a budget hotel. These hotels offer fewer services and amenities and keep costs down. This type of hotel includes Travelodge and days inn (Xue, et al., 2020).

Evaluation of Branding opportunities

Branding is a representation of what the hotel is- the brand of the hotel is an identity. It helps in bringing the group of properties together under one umbrella of shared values and characteristics. Branding helps in identifying one product from another one, and branding of a hotel mainly focuses on establishing what makes the hotel different from its competitors. The brand is known as the set of memories, expectations, relationships, and stories that are taken together. Brand of business helps the customers to take a decision on one service or product over another. In the hospitality industry, successful branding of the hotel is the key element (Li, et al., 2020).

Some of the branding opportunities which may work in Dublin are:

1) For the hotel, a strong narrative must be created

When investing in the hotel market and wanting to make it a brand in building it is crucial to focus mainly on one product like types of rooms and facilities, which is not enough. In the minds of consumers, tangible features do not leave a long-lasting impact and are unable to generate enduring desires.

The hospitality industry is all about selling a dream and providing a lasting experience, which is why good hotel brands in Dublin emphasise their brand stories. Humans are evolved to enjoy stories because they foster greater cognition, openness, receptivity, and trust. Unlike statistics and facts, a tale engages the body and mind of the client while also evoking the emotional reactions that draw them in.

2) The premises of a good loyalty program must be set

It must be remembered by the hotels that their guests are brand ambassadresses. A base of loyal customers, captured by the novel reward program is important for the development of the brand. The brand kind must be related to the guest types which is targeted. All the activities of the brand which is undertaken must be consistent and authentic, it must be rooted in the customers’ expectations and needs (Xia, et al., 2020).

3) Deliver hospitality and service excellence

to have a successful brand in Dublin it is crucial to deliver hospitality and excellent services. a strong brand means when the offerings are defined clearly. The greatest hotels must widen their definition to include the hospitality concept in addition to basic amenities like high-quality rooms, well-trained staff providing services, and facilities. To build a strong brand it must be ensured that to the customer transformative experiences are delivered. All the great brands in Dublin start with a customer-centric perspective. Mapping of experience is a great asset for the organizations as it helps in the rollout and identifying the universal touch point of brand experience (Rhou & Singal, 2020).

4) Tap into experiential technology and element

It is another opportunity that must be considered in Dublin for creating a strong brand. The use of olfactory and auditory elements can help businesses to reinforce their brand. On the minds of guests, a great impact can be created by playing soft music in the background or the different parts of the hotel’s scented candles can be lighted. It will help to give customers a very different experience. As in Dublin, this strategy is used by very less hotels. This opportunity will help in building a strong brand (Verma, et al., 2021).

To build a great brand in Dublin it is important to be consistent, authentic, social, and focused. Social media can also be used by the organization as a vessel. It will help to make the brand exciting. Other than organizing their website, using social media is considered the best way to promote and create a brand.  When the brand is strong it increases the value of the organization and increases its profits. A strong brand also opens different channels of revenue. when the brand identity is built it is one of the most effective methods of spreading the good news regarding business (Rhou & Singal, 2020).

Complexity involved

Managing different stakeholders is the process to identify, priorities and preparing strategies to engage every segment of stakeholders for an entity. This entity can be a department, team, or organization.

In managing different stakeholders some of the complexity which is involved are:

1) Different decision makers: within the organization, there are various stakeholders. So in the decision-making, there are many time clashes as every stakeholder is having different interest groups.

2) Competing priorities: within an organization, every stakeholder comes to the table with a different set of objectives, and it is expected by every stakeholder that most of the objectives will be met. And the objective of one stakeholder doesn’t have to be the same as other stakeholder objectives (Rajala, et al., 2019).

3) Constraints of resources: Within the organization, there are limited resources. So sometimes issues in satisfying all the stakeholder’s needs because of limited resources. It becomes a very complex situation when the needs of one stakeholder are fulfilled and another stakeholder’s needs remain unfulfilled (Han, et al., 2021).

4) Disparate opinions and data: Sometimes organizations in Dublin are not doing a great job of enabling stakeholders in providing input efficiently. Open public forums can sometimes become chaotic. Different stakeholders are having different opinions and data. Some stakeholders may feel that their opinions or data are valued as compared to other stakeholders (Lehtinen, et al., 2019).
