Hospitality Industry Multilingual Sentiment Analysis
Why Is Multilingual Sentiment Analysis Important In The Hospitality Industry?
The crux of the hospitality and guest experience industry lies in welcoming guests from all over the world, no matter what language they speak or which culture they imbibe. Every establishment in the industry - hotel chains, motels, independent hotels, B&Bs, hostels, restaurants, destination getaways - all of them need to understand their customers better so they can improve their hospitality services and ensure that they are always ahead of their competitors.
For this they need to analyze how guests compare them to their competitors, which aspects of their services they are happy or dissatisfied with, and if their experience will result in making them into return-customers. To get truly accurate insights, a sentiment analysis platform for guest experience needs to analyze the voice of the customer data natively in the languages the customers have left the reviews in. Translations can mean diluting the essence of the content and as a result give false positives or negatives.
