UK – With the summer holidays drawing to a close, hoteliers can still expect busy trade from business travellers, making it more crucial than ever for hoteliers to be able to offer reliable internet access to guests. Tourists and vacationers often use smartphones and tablets while abroad, even to access work email. It can therefore be safely assumed that internet access is the final frontier in enhancing customer satisfaction within the hospitality industry, which essentially calls for a 24-hour helpline.
Arqiva, a British telecommunications company recently reported that hospitality businesses without a communications infrastructure could be losing out on customer loyalty, especially with 87 per cent of guests claiming that they’ve accessed Wi-Fi when staying in a hotel. 75 per cent said that one week without access to the internet leaves them grumpier than one week without coffee (Iconic Displays). It is little wonder then that the ITC Infotech team have designed a system for end users, especially if hotel IT departments are not available around the clock like other in-house teams, such as the spa or reception.
The system ensures that hotel guests and staff have access to a 24/7 Internal Helpdesk Support, Guest Helpdesk Support and monitoring service from a dedicated offshore delivery centre. ITC Infotech’s rich experience in the hospitality industry and its capability to provide multi-lingual support in languages such as English, French, Mandarin and Arabic offer unmatched value for hoteliers.
