SmartGuide can help hotel operators enhance experience for their leisure guests

Business travel is down and will be slow to recover following the pandemic, so finding new ways to delight leisure travelers is paramount. So, let’s imagine a situation where you are serving a leisure traveler.

A guest shows up at the concierge desk to ask for recommendations on fun things to do in your destination. What does your concierge do?

Most likely, they pull out a paper map and scribble some instructions on it that may or may not be intelligible for the guests later on. Doesn’t sound great, does it?

Instead, imagine that your guests have access to a digital concierge and scan a QR code to pull up a personal contactless guide to your destination. The guide includes information about your partners and a self-guided city tour starting right from the hotel reception.

That sounds like a more helpful, immersive experience for your guests, right?

What if we told you that this is all already possible with SmartGuide?

With a digital concierge, scanning a QR code to open your destination guide would immediately give your guests access to the top sites and hidden gems around your destination. They can also leave directly from your hotel, making everything easier for them and keeping them nearby to your business.

The app provides features such as self-guided audio tours, offline maps that can be accessed anytime, and augmented reality features that allow tourists to explore independently at their own pace.

If the guests do not speak the local language, no problem! With a digital concierge, the audio tours are available in many languages, so your guests don’t need to worry about finding a concierge who speaks their native language.
