2021-23 brought a sigh of relief for hospitality. There were staycations, workations and splurgecations on everyone's minds and marketeers capitalised on this phenomenon by calling it the revenge travel. Searches and bookings for Instagrammable places spiked and so did the industry competition. In a sea of monotony, content became a low-hanging fruit to leverage all business opportunities. We hosted destination pages on our website, specific to our properties and talked about places to visit, seasonal information, things to do, nearby getaways of the city coupled with property-specific FAQs etc. Our approach was clear. We used people's regular queries to communicate our offerings and ultimately influenced their travel choices.
