Hotels and resorts are laying the groundwork for how they will do business in a new decade and beyond, in an effort to stay competitive, profitable, and ready to meet new challenges. Industry leaders are examining the workflows and mechanics of technology-driven processes, like data infrastructure, reservations, event planning, inventory control, competitive price setting, and revenue forecasting—and seeking out ways to tie them all together to better serve operations, revenue management, and brand strategy.

As new technologies and new challenges emerge, an advanced cloud-based property management system (PMS) can empower hotels and casinos to create scalable operations that foster greater visibility, utility, and efficiency. In this era when the hospitality industry is changing fast, legacy systems that silo each location as its own data centre will not successfully lead businesses into a new decade.

The hospitality and tourism industry plays an important role in the global economy, contributing 11 per cent of the world’s total GDP pre-COVID. Its recovery, therefore, is highly anticipated and closely watched as the world emerges from the pandemic.

Hospitality faces unique challenges and has specific requirements, making conventional accounting systems unfit for this industry.  

Hotel businesses are more than just the lodging services they provide to tourists; they need an asset manager to look after and fully exploit the potential of the property on behalf of the owner. In other words, asset managers are the ones who maintain the balance between the hotel staff, operations, and owners.  

In their pursuit to meet the ever-rising expectation of travellers, the hospitality industry is increasingly adopting new IT technologies. Some daring brands even venture into the realm of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things to quench the thirst for a "truly unique guest experience." Nevertheless, none of the "next-gen solutions" out there would work without an agile yet robust IT infrastructure. This is where managed IT services come into play. 

Selecting the right Property Management System (PMS) for your hotel business - one that can enhance guest experience, cut costs, and maximise revenue - is not at all easy. The rapid adoption of cloud PMS only makes this an even more challenging undertaking. That isn't to say that it is impossible, and TRG is here to help.

Nearly half of all online hotel bookings worldwide are preceded by a click on a mobile device. 94% of travellers utilise a combination of mobile, tablet, and desktop when planning their trips. The most astounding fact of all is nearly 80% of last-minute bookings are done via mobile¹. It is therefore inevitable for hotels to adopt a mobile-first, cloud-first approach.
