Up until the 21st century, the definition of a hotel is a place where you can hire a room for staying over; also provided with amenities like a restaurant, bar and other recreational facilities. Now that the industry has learned to pitch according to the wish list of the guests, providing them only with amenities that they prefer towards an economic bias. One such introduction to the hotel industry that transformed it for the greater good was the in-room kitchens.

Having an in-room kitchen brings out the option of cooking within your room and your sweet time. Why would hotels do that especially when they have a fully functional kitchen or a restaurant? The answer is simple. People have realised that they don’t need to pay such high amounts of money especially when their trip duration is less than a week. This is the hotel industry’s answer to lure in the lot who prefer not to pay the extras which inevitably is of no use for them. They could just check in for a couple of days, cook their bites within the room and go about their business. This way the people get a choice of selective services from the hotel which is ...
... phenomenal considering every consumer these days value their money to the last dime.

Taking a look at the industry, this is a huge turning point on how they market and display themselves. In-room kitchens were brought out by Motels and small cottage hotels to balance out their lack of facilities but now bigger brands have opted to have it. Why on earth not if it creates a wave of tourists down your road? A leading group have recently announced their decision on introducing in-room kitchens for those tourists who prefer nothing but a room to sleep or watch TV. Thereby cutting down on the rent drastically which is appealing to the middle-class consumers. As in the case of every industry out there, adaptation to the changes in vibe and interest needs to be dealt with carefully without disturbing the whole outlook or outcome.

People now can't fathom a situation where reservation and the amenities proffered by the industry are not accessible through the internet, social media platforms or e-commerce mobile technologies. The totality of the system now known as Central Reservation System (CRS) which allows the hotels to manage their online marketing and sales to all the sales channels out there was initially brought out by the airline industry. This eases the pressure on the hoteliers, as the CRS takes care of disseminating information regarding vacancy, price, facilities, offers and much more to the sales channels, traditional travel agencies and even newer online agencies. This enables the hoteliers to control and analyse the revenue generated by each site towards the hotel's profit all from one common system.

Now with hotels opening in every nook and cranny, the choices for the consumers are like a never before seen buffet. The spread is so amazing that you want to try almost everything but you never possibly can. Only the ones deemed the most attractive and tasty are chosen. So it’s better to be giving the people what they want how they want but swing it to the advantages of the hoteliers. They are happy, We are happy.
