Innovation in tourism: improvements in tourist apartments

The tourist wants to know new destinations, but when a person decides to leave their city and visit another place, they want much more, they want to live a unique and increasingly personalized experience. This is what explains the need for innovation in tourism.

Why innovation is important in the tourism sector

In tourism, new ideas are the order of the day. Although the tourist 'product' is something intangible, it is possible to establish differences between what one destination or another offers.

The tourist who visits a city wants to know the most representative points of it, but also wants to fully immerse themselves in the life of the place they are visiting.They want to feel like another inhabitant of that site and make the most of their time.

The more satisfactory the visitor's experience is, the more it will contribute to attracting new tourists to that place. Since word of mouth continues to be the best marketing for tourist destinations.

Innovation in tourism is necessary to grow the business and for each destination to receive more and more visitors, something that has a positive impact on the economy. But it is essential that the applied innovations are oriented towards optimizing resources and improving the quality of services.

Today's tourist doesn't intend to see everything in a three or four-day stay. They want to know what essential places they should visit according to their personality and tastes. If they have a good time, they will return in the future to continue getting to know the place.

The extraordinary customer service, and the quality of service provided to national and foreign tourists in Spain, is a hallmark of our tourism sector. Continuing to innovate in this field is the best way to gain even more competitive advantage.

Tourism innovations that you can apply in your vacation apartment

The tourism of the future is already here. There are changes that you can make in your vacation apartment that will contribute to your tenants enjoying the experience more.

Make your apartment something unique

The competition among tourist apartments is increasing. You must do something if you want to stand out from the rest and make your home more attractive to potential tenants.

Think carefully about the type of public you usually receive and adapt the housing as much as possible to those people. Do they travel with animals? Create a small space in the house so that the pet is comfortable and can enjoy toys.

Are they couples? Consider offering them a romantic pack with a bottle of cava, some sweets and some scented candles. Are they families with young children? Then put high chairs, changing tables, and safe spaces at their disposal. The more you personalize the property to the type of tenant, the better. Read our article on home staging.

Innovation in tourism is a constant. You also innovate in your tourist apartment and you will improve the experience of your guests.
