Survival strategies of Budget Hotels in Kenya

The entrance of budget hotels in Kenya faced a lot of difficulties especially from competitions from

the already established hotels in the country. Due to this challenges budget hotels therefore

launched strategies to help them compete effectively in the hotel industry at the same time make

profit.

Many Kenyans are afraid of travelling or taking their families out on tours because they fear

spending more but what they do not understand is that there are very many budget hotels in Kenya

which are more comfortable and offer beta services as well.

Your choice of accommodation for your stay in Kenya if you are visiting should be dedicated by your

personal travel budget but also by your own interests. For some people sleeping under canvas in the

Kenyan bush, by an open fire and surrounded by a spectacular night noises of wild animals, is once in

lifetime experience that has greater value than the most costly hotels and lodges.

Kenya has a great variety of these hotels across all the 47 counties and in many tourist areas private

campsites and small hotels offer budget rates for backpackers.

Survival strategies adopted by budget hotels in Kenya

Affordable

In order to be able to compete with the other five star hotels decided to provide their services at a

reduced price. Budget hotels are cheaper and pocket friendly as compared to other hotels found in

the country. This has come as a relief to many people who love travelling but fear the costs that

come with the same. The hotels now give them a chance to enjoy themselves at minimum costs.

Locations

This is also another strategy adopted by these hotels. Many of them are located in good locations

where by you won’t spend a lot of time searching for them. In fact most of them are located in

strategic places whereby you will be able to get bank services and any other relevant services.

Children friendly

Budget hotels in Kenya realised that most of the visitors who visit these hotels come with their

children and that’s why most of them have put in place amenities which suit children and inturn

make their parents more comfortable knowing that their children are able to enjoy themselves in a

safe place.

Services

When we talk about budget hotels many would think that they do not offer good services, on the

contrary they have good services which you cannot compare to five star hotels. Their workers are

friendly and the management responds fast to issues raised by the customers. Some of them also

offer follow up to customers to get their views about their stay.

Security

Most of them have put in place tight security measures to ensure the safety of their visitors. Just like

any other business the safety of their customers comes first.

Well the above are the strategies adopted by many budget hotels in Kenya in order to be able to

compete effectively with their competitors and remain relevant in the market as well.
