Definition of Brand Awareness

Brand awareness is a target group's knowledge and perception of a brand or hotel. High brand awareness means that the brand or hotel is present in the minds of the target group and has a positive reputation. Hotels should strive to achieve high brand awareness.

Why is brand awareness important for hotels?

When a hotel has a high level of brand awareness, it leads to increased demand, increased revenue and increased guest loyalty. If the hotel has a strong and recognized brand, it has a better chance of competing. At the same time, guest loyalty increases, which in turn is a clear advantage for the hotel, as it is less expensive to win back existing customers than to acquire new ones.
