An in-room TV is a key focal point, and guests’ interaction with that screen will impact heavily on their perception of their stay. The content offered on the TV will be of paramount importance and guests are used to having access to catch-up and subscription channels and arrive expecting a home from home experience. Whilst there has been a move away from fully fledged TV systems, prescribed, scheduled programmes will not suffice on a hotel TV.
The challenge for the hoteliers has been delivering a SMART yet secure experience. With hotel guests carrying a plethora of personal devices with them, connectivity is the way forward when it comes to delivering upon expectations. There are many options available for casting and streaming content but it is important to implement a hotel specific solution to ensure that the security of guests’ details is not compromised.
Forbes Professional offers simple, one-touch access solutions for casting and streaming content from personal devices to the in-room TV without compromising the security of guests’ details and passwords.
