Since COVID the UK government has been trying to support the hospitality industry. Around the UK there are thousands, both large chains and small single hotels:
Alongside the chains, there are the independents; thousands of hotels that are competing to attract guests.
The media is used in a different way for this sector than it would be for other commercial businesses. It is not used for generating new sales as such, but for increasing brand awareness; presenting an ethos of welcoming, warm, comfort and good food.

PR for hotels can be used to target specific sorts of guests.
Targeted campaigns are a very effective marketing tool. All hotels are different. Some will want to attract only business clients, for example central London. Some hotels closer to the seaside will want to slant their appeal to families.
Also to be considered are efficient catering services, with the provision of good food and accommodation for societies and clubs. They may wish to use your facilities for meetings, possibly lunches with invited speakers, or afternoon tea for walking parties.
If you are fortunate in having lawns and gardens you might consider your hotel for wedding receptions. You will need to present yourself as a rather romantic venue, creating links with wedding organisers, and working with them to set the right ambiance, creating the right image.
Using the media effectively, you can ensure you are targeting the right sort of clients and the right type of guest.
Most of the larger hotel chains will use PR agencies alongside any TV advertising or other marketing that is happening. However sadly smaller hotels normally fail to use the media as much.
This is so important to ensure that you stand out from the crowd. Many smaller hotels really do need to talk to a public relations agency about getting a campaign up and running. Public relations is not necessarily an expensive marketing tool and is usually very effective in getting media exposure in the sector or the region.
