After considerable industry-wide research, Kendall College has added MeetingMatrix International to their hospitality curriculum.

As hoteliers search for new marketing tools to increase interaction with their guests, and advertisers switch budgets from traditional advertising to newer, more interactive "new media", it is clear that the future of hotel marketing is ready to evolve.

Proximity marketing is one of the most effective advertising tools to become available for hoteliers. Not a sign, and not a text-based advertisement, this interactive marketing engagement is the marriage of digital and mobile marketing used to deliver content to guests' mobile devices in a contextually relevant environment - and at moments of maximum influence.

Proximity marketing offers hoteliers capabilities that traditional advertising never could alone, which is why it is such an effective marketing for hoteliers. Proximity marketing provides a new opportunity for hoteliers to increase revenues by advertising to a captive audience that craves information and interaction – all through their mobile devices and without leaving their hotel room or the property.

Historically, hotel users travelled with less high value transportable goods. However, in today’s world this is no longer the case. Most clients now travel with laptops, mobile phones, iPads and so on. This obviously appeals to the less law abiding members of society and today’s conscientious hoteliers are addressing this threat with increased traceability and security.

Mechanical keys are no longer an acceptable security measure in the Hotel sphere. They are easily lost and readily duplicated. A lost Key will necessitate the changing of the entire Lock at the guest room if security is to be maintained. Modern RFiD card systems negate the need for concern in this area, a lost card can simply be deactivated and rendered useless to a potential intruder, when combined with the audit trail of events at the lock this inspires guest confidence.

RFiD locking systems are becoming the technology of choice in today’s market. As there is no physical contact between the card and the lock there is no need for open channels for card insertion or interference from external sources. The cards themselves have no magnetic strip or microchip on the surface of the card and the limited information on the card is securely encrypted (No personal information is contained on the card at all).

With eye on serving the hotels and restaurants, Hyderabad-based start-up Galla Pos has developed a platform for tablet-enabled menus and billing. It is now in talks with an Indian mobile handset maker as well as a few Chinese players for the hardware (tablets) for embedding its software.

In the first phase, Reddy said the effort will be to reach out to hotels in Hyderabad and later to other cities in Andhra Pradesh and Bangalore. There is a lot business potential. The same concept can be used for small food joints and grocery stores, he said, adding the company will look to provide platform on a monthly rent or for a one time fee.

“As the business model matures, the basic platform could be given free, while we will charge for analytics, predictions and other tools that will be built into this,” he said. At present, it is processing orders from a handful of hotels but is seeing more queries coming. Typically, a small hotel is taking about four to five licences-only the first licence is priced higher and the subsequent ones at a fraction, he said.

Metropolis Technologies, Inc., a premier telemanagement and call accounting solution provider, is proud to announce Hotel Med Park’s decision to utilize ProfitWatch Call Accounting to provide accurate call reporting and billing. The deployment of the new system, implemented and managed by Metropolis partner Multi-Systems, Inc (MSI), has been designed to save the property money and simplify management for the hotel.

When the hotel terminated their franchise with Best Western in 2012, they had the opportunity to find a web based PMS that could integrate with their Global Distribution System (GDS) and Online Travel Agencies (OTA). They chose CloudPM, a new offering from MSI that provides hotels an affordable cloud-based property management system with full functionality and features. The system offers Med Park substantial savings in capital expenditures, increased operating efficiencies, and lower recurring expenses.

In addition to customized rate tables and dynamic guest call bill back, ProfitWatch includes features such as 911 triple alerts, which immediately alerts key personnel of an emergency incident, along with location details of the caller, for any emergency calls placed on the property.

“This new connectivity is great for our customers and for Sabre Hospitality Solutions. The ability to upload GroupMAX reservations automatically into a hotel’s Property Management System (PMS) reduces their work load significantly,” said Kristie Goshow, vice president of marketing for Sabre Hospitality Solutions.  “It also provides real-time reporting and tracking of room blocks and inventory, giving our customers the ability to maximize revenue.”

The integration is based on industry standard OpenTravel XML specifications and allows reservations to be communicated directly and securely to hotels’ property management systems in compliance with PCI standards and without the need to re-key or even import rooming lists.  Details included are all of the guest information, additional names, and guarantee/credit card details.  GroupMAX is automatically updated with the actual hotel confirmation number which ensures the reservation is fully confirmed. This automated process allows event organizers to leave blocks open longer to maximize attendance.  Hotels will also benefit from the ability to yield rates after cutoff, allowing last minute bookings closer to the actual event date.

With a high speed internet connection and up to ten monitors and keyboards per CPU, you can enter the internet society world. This could beat offering a wireless internet service as far as computer and internet security goes, as well as keeping the connection speed strong. It's a green system because of the resources saved by not producing as many CPUs and because of the energy conservation you experience by running fewer computers.

If you have a high speed internet connection, you can provide internet service to your guests and clients with this internet portal and workstation system. Put the power of a desktop PC at your guests fingertips.

This new computer networking solution is being marketed as a green action. There is clearly a green component involved. With only one CPU instead of ten, you save on plastics and electronics, thereby saving resources. And you save energy in the process too -- energy conservation from beginning to end is a component of sustainability.

Travel agents are increasing GDS hotel use, and have once again confirmed their confidence in GDS Shopping and Booking Displays,” remarked John Hach, Senior Vice President, Global Product Management at TravelClick. “As the GDS channel produces one of the highest average daily rates of any booking channel, there is a huge opportunity for hoteliers to influence travel agents through the GDS at the point-of-sale.”

This survey definitively shows that promotional messages are not only an excellent way to reach travel agents, but also a valuable sales catalyst,” continued Hach. “The data demonstrates that if the messages are reaching the agent, they are also reaching the customer; it’s a chain reaction which translates into concrete sales around the world. As hotels plan their marketing and sales activities for 2012, investing in the GDS channel will undoubtedly prove to be a crucial componen

Globa.li aims to give small, sustainable hotels and operators a fair shot at competing with big corporates for online travel bookings

but smaller, owner-run establishments are faced with two BIG problems - they can't get a sustainable rate for their accommodations PLUS it is very difficult for them to manage the ongoing relationship with their guest who will almost certainly be offered lots of different offers ALWAYS pushed on price.

bad, too, for the guest - because the amount of money in the transaction is often insufficient to deliver a high level of quality hospitality sustainably.
