The Growth of Golf and Other Socially Distanced Activities
Larry Mogelonsky | May 20, 2020
By Larry Mogelonsky, MBA, P. Eng. (www.hotelmogel.com) Prior to the coming of Covid, I had predicted a long, slow demise for golf. However, now that social distancing is a leading trend in the new normal, this sport as well as many other activities where human contact is scant may see a strong resurgence once travel resumes. And therein lies a lucrative opportunity for hotels. Let me know with some background on my previous forecast because many of the underlying motivations will carry forward into the post-coronavirus world. Compared to boomers and other older demographics, the younger generations – millennials and centennials, that ...
Help Save the Planet by Eliminating Hotel Bathroom Toiletries
Chekitan S. Dev | March 4, 2020
By Chekitan Dev What’s the problem? Hotel bathroom toiletries are like 12 noon check in check out: an archaic practice that persists only because no one has thought to change it.

The p...

Putting the Bathroom on the Budget
Larry Mogelonsky | October 2, 2019
By Larry Mogelonsky, MBA, P. Eng. (www.hotelmogel.com) As we enter the traditional budgetary planning period for 2020, it’s all too easy to just go through the motions and tweak what was done last year. However, if there’s one area of guestroom operations where you can make major gains next year, it would be the bathroom. As it’s a highly personal space and thus a very sensitive one, any faults or perceived flaws therein will be emotionally charged and more likely to draw chagrin in online reviews. And if your TripAdvisor game isn’t perfect nowadays then you will have a hard time growing RevPAR over the long-term. While every...
