Benefits Of Third-Party Operator
There are mainly three ways of operating a hotel in the hotel industry: owned, franchised, and managed. In India, all three have been very popular over the years.
Another model that is gaining popularity with each passing day is third-party management. In this model, the hotel owner has a hotel but lacks the team, skill, or capacity to run a hotel successfully. The owner also gets the added advantage of having an already established name for their hotel.
What is a third-party operator?
A third-party hotel operator manages the hotel’s daily operations and gets a fixed amount or a percentage from the hotel. Their services include providing the best staff for the hotel or training existing staff, bringing finance, providing marketing support, advertising online and offline for the hotel, managing revenue, etc.
The main aim of the third-party operator is to enhance the profit and the value of your hotel.
Why should hotels and resorts consider third-party operators?
Many hotel and resort owners cannot manage their property’s daily operations. Marketing, sales, revenue management, and finance need a lot of energy, time, and skill, which is why hotels and resorts should opt for third-party operators.
What are the problems encountered by the hotel business?
The hotel business is not as easy as it was a few decades ago. However, online travel agencies, digital marketing, etc., have made the business competitive.
Third-party operators are well experienced and skilled to help the owners to go through these complexities successfully and provide business in the competitive environment.
Third-party operators seem to take a good chunk of the profit from the hotel, but that’s not true, as they prove to be economical in the long run. In addition, they bring digital expertise, financial systems, and great supplier relationship, which may prove an excellent decision for hiring a third-party operator.
How to choose a third-party operator?
Third-party operators know their strengths (and weakness) and work on them to give the owners the best results. Like some operators are great at operating resorts, some only select service properties, and many are good at providing excellent catering service for the hotels.
The hotel or the resort owner should know which is their weak point and must work on them with an experienced third-party operator. Unfortunately, some hotel owners struggle to run their luxury hotels, and others may fall short in marketing experience. That’s when they should go for a third-party operator.
