The hotel business has been one of the most lucrative enterprises for quite sometime now. Although the industry took a huge hit during lock-down, it is finally getting back on its feet and, hopefully, it will once again become a fertile venture very soon.
That said, you need to open the right type of hotel if you want it to succeed. Hotels have to have a very specific market. The location of a hotel is a huge determinant of the people it will attract. Here are some hotel categorisations by location, which can help you when setting up yours.
