Abstract The influence of Digital Media on the hospitality industry has attracted considerable interest in it’s studies and the industry alike. The aim of this research is to seek out how Digital Media and strategic marketing has been a boon for 5-Star Hotels within the city of Mumbai and how the right use of these tools should be done to boost one’s business. The COVID- 19 pandemic has further skewed the utilization of Digital Media to promote a hotel’s marketing strategies. The hospitality industry is highly visual-driven. Most guests now use online and social media content to find inspiration about destinations they wish to visit and plan every aspect of their travel. Mumbai is a cosmopolitan city known for its great hospitality culture. We all are aware of the fact that this pandemic has affected the hospitality industry especially 5-star Hotels and hence there was a need to find out new ways to keep the industry alive. Through this study, we aim to seek out how Mumbai and its hospitality industry especially the 5-Star Hotels have initiated various ways and solutions to tackle the hindrances and grow in numerous ways. Keywords: Digital Media, Marketing Strategies,5-star hotels, Covid, Hospitality Industry -19.

Also, paper published in the Indian Journal of Applied Hospitality and Tourism Research Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management & Catering Technology Abstract: Hospitality is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, contributing around 8.8 trillion USD to the global economy each year. The hotel business has put an increasing degree of stress on the environment over the years by consuming large amounts of resources in its everyday operations. As a result, environmental sustainability has become a critical concern in the industry's day-to-day operations, as seen by the fact that an increasing number of hotels are adopting green practices into their everyday operations. Hotels all over the world have now come up with a variety of concepts and projects to help the environment and ensure a sustainable future while also focusing on customer satisfaction. Tourists have been more conscious of their carbon footprint in recent years, and they are drawn to hotels that are environmentally friendly, which has resulted in an increase in the number of eco-friendly hotels throughout the world. Given the country's rich cultural and historical history, diversity in ecology, and natural beauty, Indian tourism and hospitality industry has emerged as one of the fundamental drivers of growth in the services sector. Mumbai, India's financial capital, welcomes approximately 6 million tourists each year, making it the world's 30th most visited tourist destination. With millions of tourists using hotel services throughout the year, there is a significant environmental impact in terms of pollution, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions. This research will shed a light on the eco-friendly practices adopted by the hotels in Mumbai as well as their financial and non-financial consequences. Key Terms: Eco friendly Practices, 5-star hotels, Environment, Sustainability
Sheila Raheja Institute Of Hotel Management A Study On The Advantages Of Online Booking In 5 Star Hotels Post Covid In Mumbai. SUCHISMITA ROY INDRA & STALIN JOHNAS Assistant Professor/Student Chapter published in the Book titled Local Food and Community Empowerment through Tourism Vol-I Abstract The world of travel and tourism has changed over the years. The development in innovation and the wide array of information access has changed the way people travel. When it comes to booking an accommodation in hotels, instead of making hotel bookings solely through one booking channel, customers now have access to multiple booking channels namely Online Travel Agent (OTA' s) also known as online booking, these are travel websites that provide online facilities for hotels, airlines, etc. In addition, booking channels have stimulated competition and has sparked various behaviours in customers. Online booking is also efficient, easy to use, and the booking are done much faster though this method. It also provides various deals and offers while making a booking. In this way, customers prefer online booking as a preferred booking method as it also saves your time and money. Online booking is similar to offline booking, the only difference is that the customer is not physically present at the hotel while making a booking or a reservation. It has also become a much safer option ever since the COVID outbreak. The main objective of this research is to show how online booking is a safer and a much practical option after the global pandemic that has taken place. Keywords: Online Booking, Travel Agents, Post Covid, Hotels, Airlines.
Sheila Raheja Institute Of Hotel Management A study on new practices adopted by Hotels in Housekeeping Department in 5-star hotels in Mumbai post Covid 19 SUCHISMITA ROY INDRA & ISHIKA KARIA Assistant Professor & Student Abstract published and paper presented in the conference organized by Institute of Hotel Management Catering Technology & Applied Nutrition (SIHM) Abstract A hotel is a unique place for people to interact, get together and exchange ideas. Hotel employees work side by side to provide guests with the best possible experience. The Housekeeping department is often overlooked, but their work affects all departments of the hotel. Over time, the housekeeping sector has changed significantly with new practices following the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic forced hotels to rethink standard operating procedures to maintain high hygiene standards and boost guest confidence in the hotel by maintaining social distancing, this was done especially in Housekeeping. Here are some important new processes: Leaving hotel rooms empty for hours after departure, disinfecting each room, cleaning and disinfecting high touch points, washing and disposing of waste, and cleaning or avoiding occupied rooms infrequently. India ' s hospitality industry faces difficult challenges in recovering from a pandemic. Guest trust is essential, as the risk of transmission remains even if the virus surge is over and the hotel can be safely reopened. With this in mind, this paper should be of interest to hoteliers and policy makers working to implement the best housekeeping practices since COVID-19. This paper aims to examine new housekeeping procedures introduced in response to the pandemic by Hotels in Mumbai. Key words- Mumbai, Post-Covid, Housekeeping Department, new practices, Hotels
A Study On The Impact Of Staff Training And Development On Guest Satisfaction In The 5 Star Hotels Of Mumbai MR. AJAYKUMAR MESHRAM & SIYA MODI Assistant Professor & Student Paper published in the PEER Reviewed Book Contemporary Issues in MultiDisciplinary subjects Volume 2 The Hospitality industry is a highly competitive and customer focused profession where service can only be turned into profit when the guest is satisfied. To this end, hospitality professionals, especially hoteliers are seen investing large sums of money into employee training & development and performance enhancing practices. One of the important variables that will give competitive advantage to an organization will be its human resources and how human resources is organized. A brand’s value and quality of service provided is measured by the guests’ satisfaction. In the Hospitality industry, especially in 5 Star Hotels, the entire workforce undergoes rigorous training and development to maintain the standards of the establishment. Many researchers believe that training and development in organizations boosts productivity and increases employee retention, but whether or not it has a direct impact on guest satisfaction in hotels is still to be ascertained. For the said purpose, this research has been conducted and the primary data collected for the study has been analysed to determine its effectiveness on customer satisfaction. The research undertaken is based on both, quantitative and qualitative data and is analytical in nature. The main method of data collection used in this study was a questionnaire answered by 50 respondents. The questionnaire revealed some crucial information about the opinions of hotel guests including their familiarity with the Human Resources department and their preferences pertaining staff interaction. This research helps in establishing the correlation between the two variables (staff training and development and guest satisfaction) as negative or positive and acts as a platform to gain deeper insights into guest preferences in 5-star hotels. This study will help 5-star hotels to critically plan their investments in training and development. Due to financial and time constraints, the study fails to represent a large-scale sample. However, this study presents the different ways in which hotel employees are trained and prepared for guest interaction as well as the effectiveness of these practices in enhancing guest experience. KEYWORDS: Staff Training, Human Resources, Employee Development, Hospitality, 5 Star Hotels, Mumbai, Guest Satisfaction, Customer Satisfaction. Sheila Raheja Institute Of Hotel Management

Sheila Raheja Institute Of Hotel Management I won't lie or be afraid to admit that during my first three months here, I felt completely lost and like a headless chicken. However, after the results of the first semester were announced and I learned that I had received the highest rank, I realised that I belonged in this course.

I never claimed to be better than anyone else and I never wanted to be; instead, I just focused on being the best version of myself, and college allowed me to do just that. As the curriculum ran its course, I achieved several accolades, feats and awards, 2019 - First place in Book Review Competition, First placein First Among Equals College Contest- D3, Food and Beverage Department and Cleaning Creature, Housekeeping Department.
