Keith Prowse launch hospitality White Paper

Keith Prowse launched its research on the changing face of the hospitality sector during the IMEX 2019 event in Frankfurt last week.   

Earlier this year, Keith Prowse – the UK’s leading supplier of experiences – conducted an industry-wide survey, which asked buyers, sponsors and attendees of hospitality to share their experiences, including what they wanted to see more of and how they planned on using hospitality over the next year…and the results are now in!

Sam Coates, Head of Marketing at Keith Prowse, shared the analysis and findings from the quantitative research, which had responses from more than 400 organisations, during IMEX 2019.

Titled ‘People Buy Experiences’, the white paper gives thought leadership on the changing face of hospitality. It also looks at the demands, trends and best practices for guest engagement and retention that lead to the creation of world-class experiences.   

The study was carried out in early spring 2019 and shows a marked reliance on hospitality being used to engender trust between organisations and their stakeholders. The paper points to hospitality being used to nurture and re-ignite relationships by creating opportunities to interact in person; taking the online offline and creating personable, meaningful and lasting interactions.

The white paper also makes reference to a new generation of guests and how their social media shares help build their personal brand equity.  

Sam Coates, Head of Marketing at Keith Prowse, said:

We are excited to share this research and the learnings it brings. The paper takes an outward look at the business of hospitality to understand what tomorrow’s guests want and what influences them to attend. The business of hospitality has always been about building networks and, increasingly so, it’s about nurturing trust between hosts and their guests.
