The hospitality industry has been quite a roller coaster in the last few years. With the COVID-19 pandemic, resorts & hotels became virtually vacant overnight, and the advancement to a new normal has been a long, gradual transition. As travel accelerates to a familiar pace, occupancy rates have soared, but staffing numbers have not picked back up at nearly the same rate. As with numerous industries, the hospitality industry is experiencing a significant staffing shortage, which makes serving guests a tall task.
Luckily, Columbia’s lineup is engineered to serve many functions in the hospitality industry. Whether you need a work vehicle equipped with grounds tools to keep your resort looking its best, a housekeeping cart for maintained cleanliness, or a guest transport vehicle to offer a comfortable ride, Columbia has curated solutions for you! In this blog, we’ll unpack the vast capabilities offered by Columbia’s models and how they will increase efficiency among your various teams.

Housekeeping
There are few aspects in hospitality that are more important than swift, thorough housekeeping service.
