Hotels are the workhorses of the tourism industry. A tolerance of long hours, working weekends and out-of-season personal holidays; a strong work ethic; and an eagerness to please are essential to the makeup of a successful hotelier. Meet these demanding criteria and you can enjoy a business where every day is different and the rewards lie in making people happy.
The best bed and breakfasts and guest houses are run by sociable owners with a ‘nothing is a problem’ attitude. They can offer cosiness and a warm, personalised service that hotels simply cannot match. This is the kind of business that can make your property work for you and help you to generate a good income.
A car wash can come in various different forms. For some owners, the lower staffing and maintenance needs make self-serve car washes the more palatable choice. Car wash owners rarely have to compete with huge companies too, with 99.8% of all car wash owners falling in to the category of micro or small businesses.
