Common Mistakes to Avoid

Underestimating the Role of Professional Coaches: 

Many hotels make the mistake of hiring casual players as tennis instructors. True professionals have stable incomes in their clubs and typically do not seek short-term positions in hotels. This practice is well-known in the global tennis community and can be exploited by those who are aware.

Neglecting the Importance of a Strong Tennis Program: 

A professional team is crucial for attracting tennis groups to the facility and generating pre-season business. The best times of the year for group bookings are April, May, and mid-September until the end of the season.

Misunderstanding Off-Season Dynamics: 

Between May 15 and the end of September, many competitive players participate in local leagues in their home countries. During this time, high-quality hotel tennis facilities cater to individual guests, often from groups or clubs in Europe.

Misconception About the Simplicity of Tennis Management: 

Many hotels mistakenly believe that managing tennis is as simple as booking a room, which is a significant error.

ConclusionHaving a high-quality tennis school at the facility is essential. Without this, relying solely on hobby trainers will lead to a decline in business. For hoteliers, investing in a professional tennis team not only enhances the guest experience but also ensures the long-term success of the tennis facility.
