In-Room Entertainment System Solutions
At home, at work, and even on the go, business travelers are spoiled with a myriad of multimedia and entertainment options. These days travelers are making it known they expect a high level of entertainment choices in their hotel rooms. In-room entertainment is one of the fastest growing revenue generating opportunities in hospitality. Guests are showing a greater willingness to pay for movies, video-on-demand, in-room games, and high-speed Internet access.
Traditionally, hoteliers have provided little to no entertainment in the guest room aside from conventional cable television. Now, the entertainment medium offers technologies like flat-panel monitors that support high-definition broadcasts and video-on-demand equipment. This new generation of technology allows the guest to watch what they want, when they want it.
In-room entertainment systems offer:
| • | Compatibility with the guests' own multimedia devices. |
| • | Real-time access to movies, music, and other forms of entertainment. |
| • | Ability for the guest to customize their room and, ultimately, their overall experience. |
| • | Opportunities for the properties to generate increased revenue without incurring significant labor and other costs. |
