Globalization has put within the reach of any company the same competitive resources. The Hotel companies have seen their products and services turned into commodities, this way losing its distinctive ability&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tThis entails that Hotels are constantly searching for tools that offer competitive advantage difficult to imitate and be able to position itself in the market. As I mentioned in other articles, the Experiential Hospitality has proven to be a distinctive tool par excellence, since converting the stay of guests on positive holistic experiences makes the Hotels remain in their minds and hearts as indelible marks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tSuccessful Experiential Hospitality lies in considering that the distinctive determinant factor of Hotel&nbsp; services is no more about \u201cwhat it is offered \u201d but \u201chow it is offered \u201d and &nbsp;the impact it has &nbsp;on the guests\u00b4 s emotional world ; all these determinants are closely related to one of the most important intangible assets of a Hotel: its Human Resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tIt has been shown that the performance of the Hotel staff during the execution of the services requested by guests increase their level of satisfaction and therefore, the degree of loyalty to the Hotel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tThe degree of the Hotel staff performance excellence will depend largely on the ability to relate, communicate, share information, motivate, listen, and empathize with the guests &nbsp;that is what we call today the&nbsp;soft skills&nbsp;of a person. They are very difficult to acquire for those who do not have them by nature, making them highly sought after by organizations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tEveryone working in this fascinating industry knows that the highest percentage of errors, and therefore &nbsp;&nbsp;guest \u00b4s&nbsp; dissatisfaction rating, are not related to the technical aspects of our work but with those bound to our relational and human performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tHospitality&nbsp; is the industry of interactions par excellence, and precisely&nbsp;soft skills&nbsp;allow us to interact with guests in an effective manner, ensuring greater listening, observation, approaching and empathy skills. We will be able to get to know them more deeply offering services that meet their whishes, making them feel cherished and thus included, reaching desired emotional states.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tThe level and intensity of development of&nbsp;soft skills&nbsp;is unique and unrepeatable in each of us, but there are traits, characteristic and common in different types of culture and idiosyncrasies. This may explain why there are tourist destinations that stand out and therefore differ in terms of hotel performance excellence, offering unparalleled competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tIn summary I can say that&nbsp;soft skills&nbsp;are what make of hospitality a&nbsp;real difference&nbsp;in the hotel industry because they ensure the return of the guests in search of what it was for them a&nbsp;magical realism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tContemporary environment is characterized by a process of Economy globalization that has changed the ways of business competition.
