FORGET HOTEL KEYS!
By: Sabina Golob, Voyego Division
FACT #1
Nowadays, travel is becoming a completely mobile experience.
Mobile devices that are always by our sides when we’re on the move and increasing number of travelers who expect unique travel experiences, is what is driving growth in the travel industry.
FACT #2
But searching for the informaNon, booking, planning and raNng their trips aren’t the only things that travelers use their mobile devices for.
Hoteliers could relieve travelers' technical experiences. One of them is locking and unlocking the hotel room.
Keyless guestroom entry systems replace plasNc hotel keycards with a guest’s mobile device, which is more convenient and even more secure.
How does it work?
Guests can install an app on their phone and on their arrival day an encrypted code is sent to their phone via a push noNficaNon, along with a message telling them which room number they’ll be staying in. Then it is simple – the guests just hold their phone near your hotel room door and it unlocks.
Beyond the fact that all the locks in the hotel will need an upgrade, the considerable learning curve and transiNon for many travelers including those who don’t yet use or own a smartphone, there are many advantages of this innovaNon.
It’s much harder to lose a smartphone.
ADVANTAGE #1
A smartphone can’t be demagneNzed by other things in the guest’s pocket, and it doesn’t demagneNze their other cards.
ADVANTAGE #2
Guests can skip check-‐in completely and go straight to their hotel room, and they can skip the check-‐out, too.
ADVANTAGE #3
The end of panicking when keys are lost!
ADVANTAGE #4
Some open quesNons sNll linger…
Smartphone baZery life is one, and another is how guests would handle mulNple people sharing the same room, which is allowed with home usage mobile locking the door.
And security?
A mobile keyless soluNon is even more secure than standard hotel keycards with magneNc stripes, as the encrypNon and security standards are much higher in mobile technology.

improving technical experiences?

unique travel experiences.
