Environmental / Energy Responsibility
We wish hoteliers will adopt best practices when it comes to sustainability. Global carbon emissions reached a record high in 2018. Hoteliers who implement solutions with in room IoT Controls and an automation system, such at CIRQ+, to manage energy consumption while rooms are unoccupied, will be the winners, not only with their bottom line, but with the 68 percent (and growing) number of global travelers who prefer to stay in eco-friendly hotels to help reduce their impact to the environment. This is a win-win for everyone involved. The guests will feel good about being more stainable and the hotels with the proper system will begin to see increased economies in reducing their energy spend.
Guests Insights
We wish hotels will continue to ramp up survey methods to elevate awareness and visibility into their guests’ habits, practices and routines to evolve their marketing and messaging to differentiate themselves to the savvy traveler. Many are realizing that they need to upgrade their technology offerings to address several key areas of their experience based on our extensive global research: controls, comfort and connectivity. These are essential to influence positive experiences with guests inspiring them to share their experience on social media as well as leave positive reviews about the property.
