Trick Or Treat? How To Make Your Hotel More Spooky For Tourists This Halloween

Are you looking for ways to tempt people into coming to your hotel this Halloween? It has never been easier to get customer and increase revenue by making your hotel haunted. It may seem difficult; however, making a hotel seem ghostly and haunted is very simple and fun. Below are a list of ideas you can use when spooking out your hotel this Halloween season.

Create Your Own Horror Story

One of the easiest ways to attract tourist to your hotel is to create your own folklore. You can start this process by researching the history of the town where your hotel is located. From the history, you can create your own tales of hauntings that have occurred right within the walls of your establishment.

The second step to creating a superstition for your hotel is by word of mouth. Have your employees make up their own accounts of spiritual hauntings. For instance, if one employee is charged with cleaning a certain floor, have them rely a personal account of a ghost sighting. This will get customers excited to stay with you for Halloween.

Host A Murder Mystery Theatre

Hosting a murder mystery theatre will not only make people want to stay at your hotel, but it will also give the employees a chance to get excited and involved in the process of haunting your hotel. Select employees to play major roles in your murder mystery. You can also have a select few hotel guests play a role. Place envelopes in random rooms around the hotel, with instructions on what to do along with a name tag and background of that character's history. Not only will this add to your guest participation, it will also help ensuring your guests will return.

Remember, the best way to get more guests and more revenue coming to your hotel is through positive word of mouth. If your guests leave happy and satisfied with their experience, chances are they will tell their friends.

Haunt Your Hotel

With your employees accounts of different ghostly sightings, it will be easier to created a haunted house within your hotel like at Hougoumont Hotel Fremantle. You can even charge an admission fee for those not staying at your hotel. Dedicate a section or floor of your hotel to this haunted house. Halloween is a holiday favourite to many people, so it won't be hard to find volunteers to make the experience even scarier.

If you are looking for something a little less frightening for the children staying at your hotel, you can set up haunted house trick or treating booths. This will keep the children occupied while their parents are enjoying the ghosts and ghouls of your haunted house.

If ghosts aren't haunting your hotel this Halloween, force them in yourself. By creating the perfect spooky setting, you will increase your revenue, while giving your guests the haunting of a lifetime.
