Innovations in Marketing Communication in the Hospitality Business in Slovakia During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The main purpose of the article was to describe selected factors of hotel business in the Slovak Republic in the years 2001 to 2020 and identify the economic impacts of measures related to the pandemic crisis COVID-19 in 2020. At the same time through selected marketing tools. Paper is also focused on innovative marketing tools used in the hotel business during a pandemic time and their impact on business effectiveness. To analyze the situation in the hotel business in the Slovak Republic, we used a statistical method of comparison within the period under study. To obtain qualified answers to the stated research goals and subsequent research questions, we statistically processed available data on the number of domestic and foreign visitors, as well as the capacity of accommodation facilities in the monitored period. Subsequently, we carried out research in the hotel sector using the method of controlled structured interviews. The results were processed through exploratory factor analysis, based on which we were able to evaluate marketing tools with the most significant impact on efficiency in the hotel business in the Slovak Republic. The measures taken in connection with the coronavirus COVID-19 caused significant economic impacts on the hotel business in the Slovak Republic, as in 2020 the number of foreign visitors dropped to 20-year lows. The analysis of the environment in the hotel business for the period under study showed that the impact of measures within the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the number of visitors, the amount of revenues and the number of accommodation facilities. The research of structured interviews with accommodation facility managers showed that the use or non-use of marketing activities (websites, PPC advertising, social media) had a significant effect on the reduction of revenues. The findings of the analysis of the environment clearly show that the relaxation of the economic measures in the summer of 2020 increased the number of domestic visitors to a higher level than in the same period in 2019, but there was no increase in the number of foreign visitors. We can state that if the epidemic comes under control, there will be a massive increase in the number of visitors and thus an increase in revenues. In case, that Slovak hotel managers would use innovative marketing tools more in the future when communicating with potential customers, it is highly probable that their potential losses would be lower in the next crisis.

The carried out analysis of scientific papers showed that the issue of regional peculiarities of the development of collective accommodation facilities (CAF) in the crisis conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic did not find proper coverage, which justified to the purpose and objectives of this study. The article examines the development of collective accommodation facilities in the Kharkiv region by carrying out a comparison of the main indicators of the related activities in the periods before and after the introduction of quarantine restrictions caused by COVID-19. According to the results of the study, an increase in the number of accommodation facilities in the post-quarantine period both in the Kharkiv region and in Ukraine as a whole is determined. At the same time, comparing the growth rates of the CAF allows to conclude that the enterprises of the Kharkiv region are more resilient than the average in Ukraine. In the period before the quarantine, the growth rate of the CAF of the Kharkiv region corresponds to or exceeds similar indicators in Ukraine. Thus, during 2018-2019 in Ukraine the number of CAF increased by 2.2%, in Kharkiv region - by 9.0%; including hotels and similar accommodation facilities in Ukraine – by 0.4%, in the Kharkiv region – remained unchanged; other accommodation facilities in Ukraine – by 4.0%, in the Kharkiv region – by 20.7%. The introduction of quarantine measures in the face of COVID-19 adversely affected tourist flows, which was reflected in the indicators of the development of the CAF of the Kharkiv region and Ukraine as a whole. In general, as a result of the analysis of the information provided on the sites of the researched accommodation facilities, a conclusion was made about the low level of informing guests about the measures implemented in the framework of preventing the spread of COVID-19.

The Serbian Danube region as tourist destination

The aim of this paper is to show the advantages and disadvantages of the Serbian Danube Region as a tourist destination. Tasks to be completed in order to achieve the set aim include: determining the position of the Serbian Danube Region from the perspective of transportation geography, identifying its natural and anthropogenic tourism assets, its tourism infrastructure, as well as the types of tourism that can develop there based on the above. The methods used in this paper comprise: the cartographic method; a statistical method used for determining monthly and annual mean values of the Danube water level, water temperature and climatic elements for the period 1991-2010, the number of tourists and overnights in the Danube Region in 2012, as well as the number of accommodation facilities and their comparison for the years 2010 and 2012; the analytic and synthetic method; the fieldwork method combined with the photographic method, etc. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the potentials of the Serbian Danube Region for tourism development have not been sufficiently valorised or realised except in Belgrade and Novi Sad.

The international aspect of classification of accommodation facilities in the surrounding countries

The process of classification of accommodation facilities represents a necessity of modern accommodation industry development that is carried out on the basis of various factors. As an open process of dividing accommodation facilities in classes, the classification of accommodation facilities provides transparency in the market, better statistical records, and along with the categorization process which performs their further processing and verification it also allows a better perception and comprehension of the market to consumers in selecting appropriate services. Given the fact that the institutions that provide these norms within a country differ among eachother, depending on the type and number of accommodation facilities that can be found in private and state ownership, different systems of classification and categorization can be found in the world. The neighboring countries are characterized by the legislative approach which implies an active role of government and line ministry, and since there have been supplements and amendments to relevant laws and related regulations in recent years, as a reflection of the constant changes in this field and the attempts to make the existing offer of accommodation facilities meet the European and international standards, there is a need for their presentation and analysis.
