  • Contact tracing is a public health practice that health departments use to identify and notify people who have been exposed to someone with an infectious disease.
  • Public health workers reach out to these exposed people to tell them that they've been in close contact with an infected person and to give them information and support to help them keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
  • People who have tested positive for COVID-19 infection receive a phone call or a short survey by text or email from the health department, asking them who they may have exposed while they were contagious

Hospitality and tourism education in an emerging digital economy - 1 views

  • PMS and integration of multiple properties across the globe
  • It is well known that industries are moving with the flow of advanced technology and this is causing disruption in their daily business operations and processes.
  • At present, there is no alternative to digital disruption and businesses large and small must adapt to the changes that are occurring
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Technology has been a key driver for hospitality businesses for several decades and it has drastically transformed how the industry operates
  • Every industry has specific software applications that are unique and integral to the management of their daily operations. In the hotel industry, property management systems (PMS) or hotel operating systems are platforms that “enabled a hotel or group of hotels to manage front-office capabilities, such as booking reservations, guest check-in/check-out, room assignment, managing room rates, and billing” ( Oracle, 2019).
  • These systems have also evolved to incorporate functionality that supports food and beverage operations, housekeeping and maintenance management, as well as revenue management.
  • Applications such as Cloudbeds, Preno, Hostaway and Lodgify have become a staple in most hotels today, allowing for the efficient management of hotel fun ctio ns.
  • Similarly, in the restaurant industry, practitioners often rely on restaurant management systems (RMS), POS software designed for the food service industry to make bookings, capture transactions, record orders and manage inventory (FinancesOnline, 2019).
  • At the broader tourism management level, GDS, also known as automated reservation systems or CRS, are computerised networks that centralise services and provide travel related transactions for products such as airline tickets, hotel rooms and car rentals ( Kelly, 2018)
  • GDS serve as a conduit between travel bookers and suppliers and help communicate product offerings, pricing and availability to travel agents and online booking engines.
  • Their functionality and applications are often limited to a specific industry (e.g. hotel, restaurant and airline)
  • Internally, cloud computing allows managers to access data collected from proprietary applications (e.g. RMS, PMS) which can be shared across departments.
  • This data can be accessed from anywhere around the world on demand
  •  
    This paper discusses the role of PMS, POS, and GDS in the hospitality and tourism industry. It identifies key digital literacy and employability skills that students and educators need to develop to better understand and negotiate the changing, digitally focused landscape of the hospitality and tourism sector.

      I was hoping there would be a chance to share this article during the semester. This article from 2016 discusses an RFID bracelet that allows the event host to collect information on the attendees - however it doesn't have to be personal data, it's more about their interests and then using this information to create a memorable experience. Interactive marketing is a dominant force in the industry. Many consumers feel as though they need to connect to a brand before they work it into their lives. Technology can aid that process along.
  • On November 2 at the 50th Annual Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, a new tech product debuted that offers a different way for planners to communicate directly with their attendees
  • Hurdl has created a wearable device that has applications at a variety of events such as festivals, sporting events, trade shows, and fund-raisers. The brains of the wristband are housed in a circular LED button called a Pixl that attaches to the wristband. Guests receive a band upon arrival at an event, and then activate it by texting the unique code associated with their band to a phone number. In response, the guest receives a text that has an opt-in privacy policy and asks a series of questions created by the event host to gather the data they want for the event.

  • “The client can ask any question. 'What team are you cheering for? What’s your favorite song? How are identifying your gender?'” says Hurdl co-founder Betsy McHugh. “From that point forward, the event happens, and your wearable will light up based on your unique answers. For example, if Beyoncé wants to light up all the single ladies, or a sporting team wants to light up all the people who served in the military.”

      While the concept behind the bracelet can translate to almost any setting, the way each event using the technology is different which makes every experience unique.
  • create a meaningful communal experience
  • Once the guest activates the wristband via text, the event host can communicate directly with that person. “Now that we’ve built this one-to-one communication network … you get to not only be part of the experience, you can also can get a text from the host. It could say, ‘Go to the concession stand to get a free Coke for the next 10 minutes,’ or ‘Go to the merchandise stands and you’ll get 10 percent off,” McHugh says.
  • In a trade show environment, Hurdl’s algorithm can analyze the anonymized data to help sponsors and exhibitors target messaging to specific attendees.
