We find ourselves again wondering how a year went by so fast! While 2022 was another huge step in the recovery for the travel and tourism industries, many challenges were still posed for small accommodation providers.
We can’t make any promises about the outlook for 2023, but we can promise one thing – that we remain a constant source of knowledge and tips for our readers, so small businesses can feel equipped to tackle any bumps in the road that they encounter. It’s been a big 12 months, with close to 200 blogs published across five languages!
Below you’ll find three blogs that hoteliers found particularly helpful and a guide we think you’ll be able to use in the upcoming year.
Honourable mentions
Before we look at the top blogs overall, here are three that hoteliers found fascinating for different reasons:
- People were curious about the ins and outs of tech – How Do Hotel Reservation Systems Work? was viewed by more than 10,000 individual readers in 2022
- Housekeeping was a priority – Readers spent an average of 6:31 poring over Hotel housekeeping: A complete guide for your business
- Marketing remains a powerful tool – Hotel marketing for small properties: Easy tips to get it right proved to be the most popular blog we sent out on email this year
