Hoteliers today are constantly seeking innovative ways to provide superior guest experiences and one such solution gaining momentum is in-room casting. Let’s explore why hoteliers should consider adding casting solutions to their guest offering and how this technology benefits both the guests and the hotel.
- Elevate Guest Satisfaction
Arrive at a hotel and effortlessly stream your favorite shows, movies or music from your own device to the in-room TV. This seamless experience immediately enhances guest satisfaction levels. By offering casting capabilities, you can help create memorable stays that lead to positive reviews, increased bookings and ultimately, higher revenues.
- Differentiate Your Services
In the highly competitive hospitality industry, differentiation is key. Casting technology provides you with a compelling selling point. As hotels increasingly seek innovative amenities to attract travelers, offering casting can set your services apart and help you maintain high occupancy rates. - Reduce Operational Costs and Streamlined IntegrationCompared to traditional in-room entertainment systems, casting solutions are often more cost-effective to install and maintain, reducing equipment costs and leading to overall cost savings and improved profitability. Many casting solutions are designed for seamless integration into existing hotel infrastructure, offering a hassle-free implementation. This ensures minimal disruption to hotel operations while delivering a modern in-room entertainment experience.
- Meet Guest Expectations
According to a recent survey, 70% of guests reported that smart TVs/content streaming in the guest room is a determining factor on choosing one hotel over another. Casting has become a part of day to-day life, and whether guests are looking to cast their latest workout, an important work meeting, or a child’s favorite tv show – they expect to have the option to do so.
Why offer casting solutions for guests?
Offering casting solutions for guests not only meets their expectations and enhances their experience but also opens up revenue opportunities and reduces operational costs. These benefits contribute to the success of the hotel, strengthening their positions in the competitive hospitality market.
As a reminder, the hospitality industry has been facing two major challenges with TV Casting: the end of sale for Chromecast v3 and the Netflix account-sharing policy changes. We solved both with our latest release. We now support Chromecast for Google TV (Chromecast v4) and continue to support Chromecast v3 devices. For current customers, they can add Chromecast for Google TV for new expansions while still using previously purchased Chromecast v3 devices without the need to upgrade or replace.
