Here is the transcript of the video:
Hello and welcome to the J'poster Complet , the channel which helps seasonal dormice and seasonal accommodation managers to become serene and ultra-profitable ! Today, we are going to talk about a current event: hoteliers who have a change in the number of stars . It's very interesting for us as their seasonal workers to be aware of this kind of news, since it will obviously impact the world of tourism and we are evolving, you know, in the world of tourism. It's also interesting because it allows us to have a new vision of what the expectations of tomorrow's travelers could be. Obviously, this type of entity for evaluating hotel quality is very aware of everything that is happening, of future trends in travel and by lowering that criteria, we can also have a new idea, a fresh look on what the traveler's tent tomorrow.
And obviously, if we know travelers' expectations, well, we can adapt accordingly. That's why it's important. If you like my work on this channel and if you like these daily videos, support my work by giving me a thumbs up 👍. This will really help me. The algorithm really likes it, it allows me to develop the channel and be able to continue making one video per day.
So, I noted a few points that are important about the change in the award criteria. So when did this change in the criteria for awarding stars ? It happened at the beginning of April 2022. If you ever watch this video in four years, at the beginning of April 2022, change in the allocation of the star criterion. So, how are the stars? In fact, if you don't know, the hotel has a record . So, I have the English word coming out, the place indeed. A Jean-Claude Van Damme applies, applies to, so it seems to me, who applies a certain number of stars according to what they think they are able to ask. And then there are, it also seems to me that there are delegations who come to check on site to be able to assign or not the number of stars. So, the criteria that have changed, there is one point that is very interesting, which is that in hotels , wifi now becomes a mandatory criterion, regardless of the number of stars you have. So, obviously, we are not hoteliers, but it's already interesting to say to ourselves, OK, for tomorrow, a hotel that has two, one to five stars, will necessarily have to have wifi. So, that calls into question us, as seasonal workers , if we don't have wifi in our apartments, but clearly, we're in trouble. We are on the fence because the traveler who often, of a traveler, oscillates between hotels , seasonal rentals depending on the city, depending on the time, the circumstances of the trip, the traveler, he will expect that he there is wifi. This will really be one of the absolutely essential criteria for any rental, whether hotel or seasonal.
Therefore, wifi is no longer optional for all categories of hotels. And if the tables where the desks were already imposed, excuse me, I have my notes, I admit, I have not learned by heart the change of hotel stars , I have my little notes, but in addition , that will allow me to be sure not to say anything stupid to you. And that's still not bad. So, what I noticed was that if tables or desks were already required to get stars, you had to have at least one table or desk in the room. Now, coworking spaces or nomadic workspaces are also taken into account by the ranking. So, that's interesting because we also realize that the way of working has changed and that it can also correspond in fact. What this will do, these coworking spaces for nomadic work , will allow the hotel to gain points. Oh yes, that's what I didn't specify too, it's a points system. The more features you have that are valued by the system, the more points you earn and the higher your star rating can be. So, coworking or nomadic work will gain points, which means that for them, it is also a structural trend. Everything we see linked to co-living , having places to live and work at the same time. It's true that I wasn't really convinced by these co-living , I won't hide it from you. And in the end, we have Kelly on the team who spent about a month in a space a bit like Sakho Living with a living space and a space to work together and she is quite, very happy with it. So, that makes me say that it could be interesting, and seeing that, for hotels, it earns points is also interesting. We cannot deny that this may be important in the future.
Another point which is important, finally, which is new in this star classification, is the possibility of taking your breakfast or eating it in your room as well as the electronic check-in will establish itself as new optional criteria for earning points. So, that means, what are we saying here? That means that all this time the hotels were telling us that we, as their seasonal workers, were doing electronic check-ins and that no there was reception and it was still much more qualitative and well now the hotels they will gain points by having dematerialized tai chi which means that they have noticed that it is an expectation sometimes there are people who are afraid of seasonal rental to do that I am thinking in particular of you who is perhaps at the head of a gîte or a guest house sometimes people tell me yes but Élise it's not the welcome is no longer there it's not the same spirit I'm from 1000% agreement it's not the same thing but it nonetheless remains true that we can have travelers who are happy with that so even if we are the welcome and it's extremely positive we can also having people opposite who want to be in peace or solitude or who are very busy and who are really in a tight timing situation and in these cases it can be an additional option that we offer and I I want to say to myself as a lodge I prefer to only welcome people who are super happy to welcome them when we welcome them rather than also welcoming those who are a little different because they don't have the time because are bears thing bears I don't know if you've seen the video where I say that I'm in the racing team but there you go so that's the second point the third point is the sustainable development aspect the sustainable development aspect it will also change a little bit in all categories, hoteliers will be obliged to offer their customers at least three products from regional agriculture or short circuits and at least three organic or from fair trade so that means at least three local products and at least three organic and fair trade products that's very very differentiating so today for you it will depend on the impact it will depend only on the fact of offering the world food if today you have a house and not offering you any at all it's not impactful if you are a guest house or a gîte it can have more impact on our activity and it could be interesting to get up to date now already had for our planet and also because we can see that these will also be expectations for tomorrow's travelers what you need to know is that we still have 87% of hoteliers in France who are classified so all these developments, all these changes that I have just mentioned, will affect a huge part of the hotel stock in France tomorrow, almost all of them 87%, nine hoteliers out of 10 would have been affected by everything I have just shared with you here so these are really going to be impacts which will be massively implemented in the hotel industry in France and which means that the traveler as you said will expect all these standards and for us it is good to have a boost advanced to be able to put in place, if necessary and relevant, a certain number of things in our activity to always remain at the top and up to date with travelers' expectations, I hope you liked this article, which is a little more news oriented at the end this article no this video based on an article that I read direct a little more news if you wish you can join our Facebook group which is called seasonal rental prices and maximization of turnover it is a group in which you will find that seasonal dormice like you who are keen to take care of their profitability and maximize their turnover we have a lot of exchanges on all these subjects so do not hesitate to join us the link is in comment and then you can also download the bonus of the six mistakes not to make when you determine your sales prices here I wish you a very good day take care of yourself and I'll see you tomorrow for the next video
