The Significance Of Plastic Money To The Hospitality Industry: A Case Study Of Rainbow Towers Group Of Hotels
The study sought to investigate the significance of plastic money to the hospitality sector with the Rainbow Towers Group of Hotels as a case study.
Despite the fast progression in the adoption of plastic money especially in the tourism sector the world over, its usage in Zimbabwe has remained relatively low and it is with that in mind that the study sought to establish the significance of using plastic money in the hospitality sector in Zimbabwe. The study also assessed consumer preferences as far as payment methods are concerned and also established the various uses of plastic money while on holidays in Zimbabwe all in an effort to draw insight for policy makers and players in the hospitality sector boost competitiveness.
The study adopted a qualitative approach informed by semi-structured questionnaires to collect primary data. Using purposive sampling technique, the study used a sample of 100 tourists selected from Harare's Rainbow Towers hotels; 50 from Rainbow Towers Hotel and Conference Centre and another 50 from New Ambassador Hotel. The study had a response rate of 67%. This study found out that plastic money is significant in the hospitality sector of Zimbabwe as its use stimulates tourist activity as consumers transact with great ease and convenience. As a result increased tourist activity attracts more foreign currency inflows and spending, thereby impacting positively on the economy as a whole. However, the use of plastic money in Zimbabwe's hotels is constrained by limited facilities such as the Point of Sale and ATM devices.
The majority of respondents in the study preferred to use plastic money for making payments when on holiday, while the minority preferred other methods of transacting such as using the traditional cash. The study also found out that plastic money was most used to buy goods and services which include food and for shopping. The use of plastic money also proved to be popular in entertainment and activities followed by online reservations.
