Changing the design and décor of your vacation rental property to make guests from different cultures and backgrounds feel welcome is a start, but there is much more you can do.
It may take a bit of work to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests with different cultures and backgrounds, but it will give you a huge advantage in attracting and retaining a whole new clientele.
Vacation home rental management specialist, Shore Concierge, lists xx ways to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests with different cultures and backgrounds.
Be welcoming to all
Show guests that you respect and value their culture and background and that they are welcome in your rental property. Provide communication options in as many languages as possible.
Provide information in multiple languages
This includes on your property website, when providing information about the rental property, in your emergency contact information, area guides and information about local restaurants and other amenities.
Consider cultural differences in amenities
For example, providing prayer mats or a dedicated space for meditation. Be mindful of modesty when choosing art and decor, and be sensitive to guests' needs for privacy and solitude.
Food choices
Provide information about local restaurants that serve a variety of cuisines, including halal or kosher meals.
Places of worship
Provide information about a wide range of nearby places of worship or religious sites that guests may be interested in visiting.
Marketing
When you have these steps in place, contact different faith-based communities and organizations in the area to let them know your vacation rental property caters to the needs of guests from different faith traditions. Add the information to your property website and marketing material.
It is worth noting that attracting guests of all faiths is not only about meeting their religious needs but also creating an overall inclusive and welcoming atmosphere.
