VACATION RENTAL TECHNOLOGY TRENDS – WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2022

The hotel industry, as one of the early adopters of technology, is once again modernising its tech stack to keep up with changing visitor behaviour.

The digital revolution will change the way hotels sell themselves in the not-too-distant future. Hoteliers, on the other hand, have always been among the first to adopt new technology in order to pleasure their customers.

Today, a pandemic-affected business has resorted to technology once again to ensure that it can satisfy guests’ transformational demands.

 

 

1) Digital conferencing Wi-Fi overhauls

 

Previously, Wi-Fi was regarded as a convenience. It is now a must. Living in the midst of a pandemic has brought people closer to technology, and having access to fast, dependable internet is quickly becoming the barometer for a positive guest experience. To ensure a flawless online experience, many establishments may need to upgrade their Wi-Fi infrastructure.

In order to power the audio-visual needs of digital conferences – the next big thing in business conferences – and run smart in-room gadgets, an advanced Wi-Fi infrastructure is also necessary.

 

2) Integrated Property Management Systems

 

More hotels are likely to switch to unified property management systems in order to streamline everyday operations and administrative responsibilities. For visitors, this offers a more intuitive experience in which they can simply select and book their ideal stay, seeing its location, complete description, and availability right away.

From start to end, the booking procedure should take only a few taps. After a guest, for example, leaves a comment regarding their stay when checking out of the hotel, the appropriate people must respond and acknowledge this form of communication.

 

3) Smart room technology

 

 

Our lives are dominated by on-demand convenience, and hotel customers want the same level of comfort from their stay. During the pandemic, when ordinary life has become more entangled with digital than ever before, this desire has increased even more.

Streaming, voice activation, guest-room tablets, smart keys, food ordering systems, and other technologies are helping properties meet this requirement to be more digitally smart.

 

4) Going contactless

 

Delivering a frictionless guest experience – a result of the pandemic – is intimately linked to smart technology. The fewer human interactions between check-in and check-out, the better. Mobile check-in/check-out applications, digital keys, and voice-activated appliance control are all becoming more widespread. Their use is predicted to increase in 2022.

 

5) Migration to the cloud and a SaaS boom

 

On the surface, investing in cloud infrastructure for IT needs may not appear to be a significant expenditure, but it is one of the best investments you can make for back-office efficiency. It also reduces the overall cost of technology procurement, as well as performance advantages and on-the-go availability of critical software systems.

This shift to cloud services has coincided with a recent surge in hotel IT services. From OTAs to booking and property management systems, online review management, and revenue management, companies like STAAH provide a smooth cross-platform experience. This craze isn’t going away anytime soon. Cloud-based SaaS enterprises could expect more interconnected platforms.

 

6) Social media interaction

 

 

Nowadays, almost every visitor has a smartphone. Many hoteliers have been able to use social media apps for location-based check-ins, online guest reviews, room service, and general visitor communications as a result of this. For visitor communication, social media messaging services like WhatsApp and Instagram, as well as Facebook Messenger, are particularly useful.

 

Guest service has become more reliant on technology. You can greatly increase the number of guests who pick your hotel for living and boost guest loyalty by providing exceptional service and unrivalled accommodations, supplied with all of the latest technologies.In addition to improving administrative duties, enhancing employee satisfaction, and generating income, the correct technology is now required.
