The last two years have been a major rollercoaster ride for the hotel and hospitality industry due to the covid pandemic, various travel restrictions and the response of our local communities. So, what can we look forward to in 2022? We’ve asked several industry insiders to comment and help us put together our top 6 trends that we can all look forward to in the new year.  

Christmas is a time of giving and being thankful. For most, it’s a time where families come together and enjoy a festive season full of gifts and delicious food. As lovely as this is, it is not however, the same for everyone. As a hospitality supplier, Swisstrade are in a unique position to offer support to Dignity and has been involved with the organisation for over 4 years.

The consumer has been on a rollercoaster in the last year with COVID-19 affecting all our lives; from adapting to a new way of carrying out daily activities to how we plan holidays and other experiences. As a result your hotel guests now have expectations of what a COVID safe environment looks and feels like. 

As featured in HM Magazine, October 2020. Bathroom amenity suppliers are always on the hunt for new labels to offer to hotel partners, with local flavours growing in popularity. 

Swisstrade are supporting new ways the hotel industry approaches sanitisation, with the introduction of “Storm”, the UVD Robot rolling into hotels to keep guests safe during the Covid era. While most hotels that remain open after the outbreak of the pandemic are stepping up cleaning routines by removing nonessential items like decorative pillows and magazines, and disinfecting the TV remote controls, others believe the investment in robots is a necessary step to restore guest confidence.

Since the breakthrough of Swisstrade’s first- generations amenity dispensing system “Press + Wash” during the Sydney ‘Green’ Olympics in 2000, the world has come full circle to embrace our next generations of environmentally sustainable dispenser solutions.

In partnership with ADA Cosmetics International, Swisstrade has international expertise in developing products of the highest quality and safety in cooperation with hotels and hotel chains. We have been successfully producing cosmetic products for 30 years, offering innovative and sustainable dispenser solutions such as pump dispenser system, smart care dispenser system and press + wash dispenser system.

No matter how far apart we may seem in this time of uncertainty, or as dark the road ahead may look, we will make our way through these challenging times together. We hope the following messages from our partner Rituals Cosmetics will give you small moments of uplifting positivity.

When one thinks of Switzerland, fine chocolate and tennis-great Roger Federer often come to mind. But the Alpine state is also known for its world leading hospitality. ‘The Swiss way’ is something Australian hospitality is embracing through brand representative Swisstrade.

Bathroom amenities dispensers have never been more sought after than now, and rightly so. The mounting pressure from the public domain for hotels to lift their game in the area of waste reduction and elimination of plastic is rapidly changing the way accommodation providers offer guest amenities.

Swisstrade is delighted to announce its partnership with Ascolia to bring the lightest, most user-friendly and efficient housekeeping trolley to Australia for the very first time.

Swisstrade will be in good company with more than 200 suppliers delivering the latest trends and ideas at NoVacancy Hotel & Hospitality Expo at ICC Sydney Exhibition Centre on 24/25 July. Visit our stand!
