Overview

The hospitality and leisure (H&L) sector has faced a multitude of unprecedented challenges over the past two years. Understandably, its unofficial motto became ‘adapt and overcome’.

Adapting to technological changes is vital to overcoming many of the challenges brought by the pandemic’s arrival.

There is an absolute need to continue adopting technology to enhance the customer experience and streamline back-of-house systems. Attracting (and keeping) next-generation visitors will be key in 2022 and beyond, requiring significant ongoing investment in social media systems, a comprehensive review of sustainability (the broadest of churches), virtual reality, personalisation, facial recognition, ‘smart’ premises, and a host of other initiatives.

And what of other significant costs to your business? These demand scrutiny if you are to be as lean as possible, giving yourself a fighting chance to survive in the short term and thrive in the long term. Do you have visibility of your entire supply chain? Have you had to accept reduced service and quality from suppliers? Do you know what ‘good’ looks like? Is there some risk in your supply chain?

Like many other sectors at the start of the pandemic, decision-makers in hospitality and leisure prioritised survival.

They steered their attention away from strategic planning and innovation towards resilience and recovery.

With that in mind, we’re serving up three ways that the hospitality and leisure sectors can thrive in 2022.
