Guest Experience: 10 Do's and Don'ts for a Great Guest Experience Strategy
If there's one takeaway for 2025, it's this: Guest experience isn't a department – it's a mindset. To deliver exceptional moments, guest satisfaction must sit at the core of every decision, across every department. From front desk to finance, marketing to maintenance – every action should be viewed through the lens of its impact on the guest. Want real transformation? Make guest satisfaction more than a KPI – make it a culture. If guest experience doesn't come up in every leadership meeting, you're missing the point. It's not about chasing trends or mimicking your compset. Memorable experiences are built through emotional connection, authenticity, and a deep understanding of your guests' evolving needs. Guests want more than a bed – they want a story, a feeling, a sense of belonging. When you design moments that matter, you don't just earn loyalty – you create advocates. Here are 10 guiding principles 'Do's and Don'ts' for a guest experience strategy that actually delivers: Do's to Deliver Great Guest Experiences: ✅ DO Treat guest satisfaction as a core metric. Every time you implement a new initiative (i.e. digital dining, upselling, automated check-in) don't just measure revenue or conversion. Ask: Did this enhance the guest experience? Did we move the satisfaction needle? ✅ Make guest intelligence relevant to every team. From housekeeping to F&B, tailor insights to be digestible and actionable. Empower teams to act on what they learn, not just observe from a distance. ✅ Push your vendors to be partners, not just providers. Ask them where guest intelligence is heading and how AI will shape experience. Choose partners who guide and evolve with you, not just those who tick a box. ✅ Stay plugged into product roadmaps and industry webinars. Hospitality tech moves fast. Tomorrow's winning experiences are being built today. Stay informed, curious, and engaged - it's not just sales fluff, it's your edge. ✅ Use AI for review responses, but keep it human. AI can support scale and consistency, but your brand voice still matters. Train it to reflect your tone. Tech should elevate your authenticity, not dilute it. ✅ Hire and train for emotional intelligence. Guests remember how you made them feel. EQ-driven teams read cues, respond with empathy, and create moments that stick. That's the secret sauce. ✅ Create local, brand-authentic experiences. From a curated neighborhood guide to a scent inspired by the region, guests crave stories, not sameness. These emotional touches forge deeper connections. ✅ Monitor your compset, but think beyond it. Benchmarking is important, but inspiration lives everywhere – retail, wellness, entertainment. The best ideas often come from outside hospitality. ✅ Build a communication strategy for the entire guest journey. Use email, SMS, WhatsApp, chat AI, and in-room tech to support – not interrupt. Be proactive, seamless, and human. Anticipate needs. Build trust. ✅ Make space for magic, surprise, and delight. A handwritten note. A Spotify playlist. Remembering their favorite drink. These moments create stories guests tell long after checkout. That's real hospitality. Don'ts – What to Avoid in Guest Experience:

Uncertainty Abounds: HVS Takeaways from NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum 2025
With contributions from Kannan Sankaran, Patricia Shih, Neil Flavin, Alice Sherman, and Cole Masler. The start of June always brings the industry together in New York City, and we enjoyed our time at the NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum this year. It was great to see many of you there and share our recent experiences in the industry. The conference was preceded by our webinar that provided an update of our forecast and views from HVS President – Americas, Rod Clough. You can view the webinar here. The conference brought forward a noticeable mix of contrasting viewpoints as to the state and near-term future of the industry. Some attendees were convinced that transaction activity will pick up in the next three to six months as we transition to a more balanced seller/buyer dynamic. Others expected transaction activity in major markets to be down for the duration of 2025, citing the recently instituted federal tariffs and government job cuts that have created some uncertainty in the levels of both domestic and international travel. They see these as factors that are causing capital to stay on the sidelines for the time being. Whether more positive or negative in their near-term future view, investor sentiment remained cautious in both camps. Luxury and lifestyle segments continue to outperform, and a stronger focus on acquisitions over development has taken hold. There appears to be a disconnect between media reports of low consumer confidence and the 2025 travel trends observed in several key markets. Industry participants are watching the summer travel season to see if the positive trend continues in these markets (or reverses the declines in others). These stakeholders are also keeping a close eye on inflation and unemployment levels, the two key factors that could affect discretionary spending. Group business has become a big driver of demand in the absence of the typical leisure and commercial sources. As a result, RevPAR is likely to stay stagnant or decline in many markets, as this supplemental group demand is typically lower rated than the leisure- or commercial-transient demand that is usually present. Operators appear to be showing more concern, as revenues, particularly from the leisure segment, have slowed this year. Hotel owners and operators are prioritizing operational efficiency over aggressive expansion, with technology and labor strategy emerging as key focus areas amid persistent cost pressures. These pressures include continued high labor costs (management and hourly), elevated insurance costs, brand-mandated PIP renovations, and deferred maintenance. While owners and operators are taking internal measures to control their GOP percentages, they are having to implement additional strategies to lessen the impact of increased insurance costs and taxes on EBITDA. In addition to the higher operating costs across the board, owners are feeling unsettled regarding the uncontrollable expenses. The cost of supplies is anticipated to be affected at some level by tariffs and potential trade deals. Development deals are generally more paused than outright canceled. Key money provided by brands has affected developer decisions, though many brands have elected not to engage in a bidding war, instead standing firm on their long-term value proposition. Representatives for all brands reported that they are extremely busy and appear optimistic; however, privately, they revealed that they are seeing a slowdown, albeit small, and deal closings in multiple segments have slowed due to owner hesitancy resulting from the economic conditions. Unless a project is located in a high-demand, impactful market, some owners are taking a 'wait and see' approach. Overall, the sentiment and outlook were generally neutral, with optimism from some balanced by caution from others. "Uncertainty" was the word that was used most often. There is currently a lot of macroeconomic-related noise. The prevalent tone was 'let's wait a few months,' both to gain some clarity once the tariff situation plays out and to see the final version of the One Big Beautiful Bill that may be passed by the U.S. Senate.

Asia Pacific hotel performance update
April performance across the Asia Pacific hotel industry was positive as 10 of the region's 16 largest countries grew occupancy, average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR). In fact, all but three countries—China, Singapore and Thailand—experienced RevPAR gains. The March/April period is often impacted by calendar shifts of religious events and public holidays. April 2025 was no exception with a shift in observances including Ramadan, Easter and Passover affecting both business and leisure travel patterns in the region. Asia Pacific hotel performance update -April 2025— Source: STR Japan continues to hold the APAC region's top spot Japan remains the standout performer with seemingly unstoppable ADR gains. The country also advanced occupancy in April, which is the middle of Cherry Blossom season, a draw for visitors from around the world. April occupancy was Japan's highest level in the past 12 months. A favorable yen-to-dollar exchange rate has contributed to Japan's attractiveness for visitors, however the favorable FX rate is starting to subside. Expo 2025, held this year in Osaka, opened in mid-April and will benefit performance throughout the country until the middle of October. Of the other Northeast Asian markets highlighted, Taiwan (China) and South Korea experienced occupancy and ADR increases. Similar to Japan, April is a popular month for both markets. In Taiwan, Taipei and Taiwan Regional lifted RevPAR with occupancy as the main driver. The Incheon & Seoul markets and Busan submarket drove performance for South Korea with generally equal parts occupancy and ADR. Asia Pacific hotel performance update -April 2025— Source: STR Variability across markets in China resulted in net negative performance China, the largest country in the region, posted negative RevPAR comparisons impacted more by occupancy declines than ADR. Healthy supply increases have contributed to the country's slowing occupancy. April performance varied across the country with Macau SAR and Sanya posting double-digit RevPAR increases, while the majority of markets posted declines. Similar variability was seen across the five largest markets where Guangdong and Shanghai experienced modest gains while Beijing decreased RevPAR due to ADR declines. Shandong and Jiangsu slowed primarily because of decreasing occupancy. Asia Pacific hotel performance update -April 2025— Source: STR All three top Central South Asian countries advanced RevPAR Three of the top countries in Central South Asia—India, Maldives and Sri Lanka—advanced RevPAR on both ADR and occupancy gains. India experienced growth throughout the country with the four largest markets posting double-digit RevPAR gains. Mumbai rose primarily due to ADR gains, while New Delhi, Bengaluru and Rajasthan saw occupancy and ADR increases. Highlighting the popularity of the country, all 17 markets in India experienced an occupancy increase in April. Two smaller countries in the region—Maldives and Sri Lanka—increased RevPAR as well. Maldives, recording one of the highest ADRs in the region, has seen growth all year, while April was the first month this year that Sri Lanka posted positive performance. Asia Pacific hotel performance update -April 2025— Source: STR Solid April performance in the southern hemisphere April brought cooler weather and positive RevPAR comps in the southern hemisphere for the three highlighted countries in the region. Inflation, which has been a headwind in the region, has lessened. FX rates are also a factor as the Australian dollar remains weak against the U.S. dollar, providing a tailwind to long-haul inbound travel. Australia's top markets all posted healthy RevPAR gains, driven by occupancy and ADR. New South Wales, the third largest market in the country, achieved double-digit growth. New Zealand saw strong performance across all four submarkets in the South Island market. North Island was mixed with the two largest submarkets, North Island regional and Auckland, up and down, respectively. Fiji experienced growth following a decline in March, in part because of the Easter/Passover calendar shift which benefits leisure travel, providing a boost to a vacation market such as Fiji. Asia Pacific hotel performance update -April 2025— Source: STR Variable performance seen across Southeast Asia Performance was mixed across Southeast Asia. Vietnam and Indonesia recorded RevPAR gains via increased ADR and occupancy. In Vietnam, all seven submarkets increased RevPAR. April in Indonesia was positive following negative performance in March, impacted by above mentioned calendar shifts. Two of the largest markets, Jakarta and Bali, each produced double-digit gains driven almost entirely by ADR. Occupancy was the exclusive driver of positive RevPAR performance in Malaysia and Singapore. Both countries recorded stronger performance in April compared to March with Malaysia netting positive KPIs while Singapore retreated slightly. Singapore consistently posted the highest occupancy and ADR of any country in the region. Occupancy declines suppressed RevPAR in the Philippines and Thailand. Increasing ADR in the Philippines made up for the occupancy decline both in Manila and the surrounding region. Performance was mixed across Thailand, with Bangkok and Thailand Central & North seeing modest ADR declines and more significant occupancy declines. Phuket and Thailand South posted positive RevPAR with ADR being the primary driver. Asia Pacific hotel performance update -April 2025— Source: STR About CoStar Group, Inc.
