As we close in on the end of 2025, we can reflect on the growing and new preferences guests have in the full-service hospitality industry. Many travelers are already planning their 2026 vacations, so hotels should be ready to cater to the current trends. What are they looking for in their next vacation? What do they expect from their experience? What activities and amenities are they investing in? Here are five trends we anticipate for the next year.
Hoteliers know that reputation is everything. A strong reputation from positive reviews brings hotels guest loyalty and an increase in revenue. Adversely, even one negative review can bring a hotel increased costs to repair their reputation. How much does a negative review cost? It isn’t just a simple loss of a booking or a comped room; it can cost you much more.
One of the biggest challenges hotels face is employee retention. Not only does a heavy turnover negatively impact your service, team efficiency, and satisfaction scores, it negatively affects your revenue, too. This is why employee satisfaction is an imperative part of your bottom line. Hotels have been optimizing their tech resources as small yet effective tools to curb turnover.
