'Contactless guest travel' is a word that has been commonly used during the pandemic. It means that hotel guests should have as few physical contact points as possible to provide them with the cleanest and safest stay possible.
FREMONT, CA: In the history of the hospitality sector, there has never been a year quite like 2020, and no detail was overlooked. As with prior crises, this will surely have long-term consequences for the sector, and we may expect new opportunities to emerge as a result.
This time around, the problem is that hotels need to embrace innovation and technology faster than ever before, but their alternatives to do so have never been more limited. Here are three hospitality tech trends to watch out for:
Contactless Guest Journey
'Contactless guest travel' is a word that has been commonly used during the pandemic. It means that hotel guests should have as few physical contact points as possible to provide them with the cleanest and safest stay possible.
When creating a contactless visitor experience, keep in mind that all stages of the visitor experience should be taken into account, such as before, during, and after the stay.Outlining all of these processes for all types of guest flows will be critical, as it will encourage more guests to use the contactless guest journey.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Intelligent technology is increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives, and there's no reason why hotel visitors shouldn't anticipate it when they visit your establishment. IoT enables even more automation, allowing guests to control their whole stay from the palm of their hands. It connects hardware and software and synchronizes the physical and digital worlds.
The usage of such technologies is all part of providing a smooth, personalized experience that meets today's technological expectations. By simplifying operations, delivering better insights, and giving real-time, automated management, IoT solutions lower the costs associated with running a hotel.
Safety and Hygiene
With the rise of COVID, the need for safety and hygiene has increased. For the hospitality business to function normally, these modifications must be viewed as permanent, even after the present pandemic has gone.
New hygienic precautions must be adopted to restrict the current spread and secure the safety of your visitors, and this should be a vital aspect of every hotel's operation.
Pre-arrival and during the stay, communication concerning safety and hygiene measures would be appreciated by visitors to make them feel protected. Marketing departments can play a specific role here by emphasizing the steps and rules that are being followed.
