In the hospitality industry, as in many other sectors, the superstition around the number 13, often known as triskaidekaphobia, is prevalent. Common superstitions include:
🏨Avoiding the 13th Floor: Many hotels skip labeling the 13th floor on their elevators or room numbers to accommodate guests who may be superstitious about it. Instead, they go from the 12th floor to the 14th floor.
🚪Avoiding Room Number 13: Similar to the floor numbering, some hotels avoid using room number 13. Guests might be hesitant to stay in such a room, so it's often skipped or relabeled.
🍽️Avoiding Events on the 13th: Some hotels, particularly those that host weddings and events, may avoid scheduling significant gatherings on the 13th of the month, especially if it falls on a Friday.
🌟Special Promotions on Friday the 13th: To counteract the negative connotations, some hotels may offer special promotions or discounts on Friday the 13th to attract guests who relish in the notoriety of this noted day.
These superstitions are rooted in cultural beliefs, with much variation locally and regionally surrounding the number 13 and are observed to accommodate guests who may feel uncomfortable or uneasy about it.
