"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are." I recently had the privilege to speak as the Country Director for Nigeria at Premium Swiss Hospitality GmbH - Zurich during the SUCCESS IN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE & AWARD at Festival Hotel Lagos. In my talk, I emphasized the importance of a mindset shift, starting with identifying your Unique Selling Proposition (USP). Your USP could be rooted in your brand name, location, history, offerings, or other key components such as: - Benefits - Emotive appeal - Key selling points - Differentiators - Competitive advantage Examples of USPs that can make a hotel stand out include offering personalized guest experiences, having a unique historical or cultural connection to the location as seen in case of Festival Hotel Lagos, eco-friendly practices, or exclusive amenities like a rooftop pool with panoramic views. I encourage all hotels to discover and leverage their unique strengths in this highly competitive market. As the demand for room nights in Nigeria continues to grow, positioning yourself as a premium brand—both in identity and service—is crucial to commanding premium rates. Additionally, creating partnership alliances with established brands like Premium Swiss Hospitality GmbH - Zurich can help elevate your hotel to internationally accepted standards.
