The management of tourist apartments is a process that requires efficiency and productivity. Well, being able to offer memorable experiences to guests and maintain a good flow of income depends on this process. However, achieving efficiency is not a simple task; it requires experience and professionalism. This is where the role of a hotel consultant can be crucial to properly manage a tourist apartment.

That is why, in this article, we will explore why IHCS, a hotel consultancy with extensive experience, can be the right formula for the management of tourist apartments.

THE EVOLUTION OF TOURIST APARTMENTS

Before exploring the role of a consultancy like IHCS in the management of tourist apartments, it is important to understand the evolution of this industry. Tourist apartments have undergone a great evolution and are positioned as one of the preferences for international tourism.

In Spain, the average number of these establishments increased between 2014 and 2017 by almost 14,000, reaching 134,561. In the two following years there was a decrease, but for 2021 and 2022 this increasing trend returned. By the end of last year, nearly 128,100 tourist apartments were registered in operation in the country.

These types of tourist establishments, often offered through platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.com, have changed the way people travel and stay. These accommodations offer an alternative to traditional hotels. This is because they provide guests with greater privacy, space and the opportunity to live like locals during their stay.

However, with the increasing popularity of resort apartment complexes, significant challenges have also arisen in their management. Their owners must deal with tasks ranging from cleaning and maintenance to marketing and customer service. This is where a hotel consulting company comes into play.

To manage your tourist apartment well and maximize profits, it is necessary to know your clients. And one way to do this is through market segmentation, which can be quite a complex process. Well, the market is made up of consumers with different preferences, characteristics and needs.

OPTIMIZED ONLINE PRESENCE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF TOURIST APARTMENTS

SMART PRICING STRATEGIES

Efficient management of tourist apartments is one that applies intelligent pricing strategies. This demand is due to the fact that the rate will always be the main trigger when reserving accommodation. Therefore, whether you are in America or Europe, smart pricing strategies are necessary.

And a consultancy like IHCS knows how to study competition, trends and market demand to determine optimal prices. In addition, we make sure that your rates, on the different online platforms, are appropriate.

ONLINE REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

Online reviews have a significant impact on travelers’ booking decisions. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to respond to each review in a personalized way, thus ensuring a healthy environment. In this sense, a hotel consultancy knows how to respond, interact and manage reviews, to build customer trust.

In addition, at IHCS we can support you through review analysis to locate those weak points. This way you can change and provide a memorable experience to the customer, from reservation to check-out.
