The innovations in today’s travel technology have the potential of breaking ground. Besides, travel agencies in our era have access to more interesting and abundant sources than ever in the industry’s history. New methods are constantly sought to go beyond the understanding of ‘providing services in traditional ways’ and support all processes of the traveling experience. This is because discovering new technologies and delivering content and services in a wide spectrum is crucial for ‘customer satisfaction’. Therefore, property owners need to invest in some areas like messaging systems through which they can measure customer needs and responses, automatic check-in, luggage storage and mobile room entrance. HotelRunner offers you some of the most significant travel technologies of 2014.
Wearable smart devices
Wearable smart devices make it possible to be in constant and seamless interaction with technology anywhere. Becoming increasingly popular, wearable smart devices draw attention with their brilliant features like voice command and motion detection. Several travel companies so far have deployed technologies for the benefit of society. For instance, Virgin Airlines uses Google Glass for check-in, flight updates and translations. A tourism organization in Florida uses Google Glass and social media together to carry out a successful advertising campaign. By starting to use different smart devices in your property, you can make a difference by both showing that you meet their technological expectations and by making their visit more enjoyable.
Mobile devices
With mobile-compatible applications, you can drive a user-friendly and high-performance web traffic for your interactions with your potential guests. To achieve this, you better create a mobile website that supports customer needs and expectations and is compatible with mobile devices by integrating a mobile strategy into your customer experience management strategy.
