Are we aware of the importance of digital transformation in hotels?
Digitization: a necessity in the hotel sector
Some examples to move in this direction
Electronic locks in hotels and tourist accommodation to avoid traditional keys and replace them with digital keys, ranging from cards to the client’s own Smartphone, which completely avoids contact.
Online check-in and contactless registration. The registration of travelers’ data is a mandatory requirement in Spain and in many other countries. For this, it is necessary to manipulate the passport or the identity document of the traveler to extract the pertinent information. Fortunately, technology also lends a hand in this regard and it is possible to obtain devices and applications to directly scan this data quickly and without having to touch the belongings of the guests.
Remote management of the accommodation in cases in which the owner cannot go to the holiday home at those times to check-in or in hotels that do not have a 24-hour reception. Systems such as Rent & Pass allow the owner of the tourist apartment or hotel to send an electronic key to the guest with a validity adjusted to the reservation contracted.
