After experiencing the impact of the epidemic, the global tourism industry is showing a strong recovery trend, which not only brings new opportunities for the hotel industry, but also promotes the vigorous development of downstream industries such as hotel linen washing.
The World Economic Forum’s tourism research report released on May 21 shows that international tourist arrivals and tourism’s contribution to GDP are expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2024.
Significant growth in global travel demand, an increase in the number of flights, a more open international environment, and rising interest and investment in natural and cultural attractions have all contributed to a rapid recovery in tourism.
Tourism Development
The top 10 economies in the report promoting tourism are the United States, Spain, Japan, France, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, Italy and Switzerland. However, the global recovery remains somewhat uneven. High-income economies generally maintain a more favorable environment for tourism development.
Also, the tourism industry is facing a number of external challenges, such as geopolitical uncertainty, economic turbulence, inflation and extreme weather.
Rapid Development of Linen Washing Industry
With the recovery of the global tourism industry, the hotel industry, as an important part of the tourism industry, has ushered in the opportunity for rapid development.
● Hotel demand for linen has increased significantly.
Hotel occupancy rates continue to improve, and the construction of new hotels continues to increase. This has greatly increased the demand for linen in hotels, which has brought a broad market space for the hotel linen washing industry. On the one hand, during the tourist season, the replacement frequency of hotel linen is accelerated, and the amount of washing is increased significantly. On the other hand, even in the off-peak season, the hotel needs to wash the linen regularly to maintain good hygiene standards.
● The diversification trend of tourist destinations has also had a profound impact on the linen washing industry.
The differences in climate, environment and cultural background in different regions have led to different fabric materials and styles used in hotels, homestays and other places. This requires linen washing companies to have a wider range of expertise and technical capabilities to meet the washing requirements of different fabrics.
● In addition, more tourist destinations have attracted more tourists, which has also increased the demand for linen washing services, making the market size of the linen washing industry continue to expand.
● However, this also brings some challenges, such as linen transport and distribution costs in different regions may increase, and linen washing facilities in some remote or special areas may not be perfect.
In this context, the development of the hotel linen washing industry is good. In order to meet market demand, laundry enterprises need to continuously improve their competitiveness.
Technological Innovation
First, technological innovation is the key. Enterprises should increase investment in research and development, introduce advanced laundry equipment and technology, such as energy-saving and efficient CLM intelligent laundry equipment, improve washing quality and efficiency, and reduce costs.
CLM Intelligent Laundry Equipment
CLM intelligent laundry equipment has many advantages. Taking the tunnel washer system as an example, only one person is required to operate it, and it can automatically complete the whole process of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, dehydration, neutralization, pressing dehydration, drying, etc., reducing manual labor intensity. Intelligent control systems and accurate washing procedures are adopted to better control washing time and water temperature and other parameters to improve washing quality. Additionally, the soft washing method is adopted to reduce the damage to the linen and extend the service life of the linen.
● The minimum water consumption per kilogram of linen is only 5.5 kg, and the power consumption per hour is less than 80KV, which can complete the linen washing amount of 1.8 tons/hour.
In the post-finishing process of linen washing, CLM four-station double-sided spreading feeder, with super roller ironer, rapid folder to achieve program linkage. The maximum folding speed is up to 60 meters/minute. Up to 1200 sheets can be folded, and ironed, folded neatly.
The steam-heated flexible chest ironer, the steam-heated fixed chest ironer and the gas-heated chest ironer provide a higher possibility for the flatness of linen ironing.
Cooperation with the Hotel
Secondly, enterprises need to strengthen cooperation with the hotel, establish a long-term stable cooperative relationship, and provide customized washing solutions and quality customer service.
Enterprises should also pay attention to environmental protection and sustainable development and use eco-friendly detergents in the washing process to reduce pollution.
Conclusion
In short, the recovery of the global tourism industry has brought new opportunities and challenges to downstream industries such as hotels and hotel linen washing. Hotel linen washing industry should seize the opportunity, constantly improve the technical level and service quality, and actively respond to challenges to achieve sustainable development. The application of advanced equipment such as energy-saving and efficient CLM intelligent laundry equipment will provide strong support for the development of the industry.
