MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The Philippines’ hospitality and tourism industry is experiencing a huge wave of both local and international visitors. Travelers are flocking to domestic travel destinations such as Boracay, Baguio, Palawan, and Siargao which are the top 4 places of choice according to a survey in June 2022. This same survey revealed that 76% of participants would rather stay in a hotel; 41% would choose to stay at a relative’s house; 28% would book an AirBnB; and 17% would pick a motel or inn for their overnight stays.
This influx in the travel industry means an increase in demand for hotels. And for small and large-scale hotels alike, every booking counts. A glitch in the system can cause over-bookings, leading to problems in the management of the rooms and guests, or even losing potential guests altogether. To aid hotel partners in their business, internet provider Converge ICT Solutions, Inc., along with Comise Solutions, Inc., is introducing the new Workplace hotel management solution.
Workplace hotel management solution is a cloud-based hotel management software that allows establishments to automate bookings, synchronize real-time bookings and reservations among multiple applications with inventory, and report hotel revenue and booking activities among other functions. Apart from helping with the hotel’s management on the digital back-end, Workplace also opens new opportunities to expand the hotel’s reach through social media, direct marketing, and new channels like affiliate marketing. The system works best with high-speed, pure fiber connectivity such as Converge flexiBiz. Together, Workplace and Converge FlexiBiz offer maximum productivity and expansion for hotel establishments.
To demonstrate and further elaborate on how Workplace can benefit partner hotels, Converge is holding an online event entitled, “Into the Cloud: Converge Boosts the Hospitality Industry with New Hotel Management Solution” on Thursday, August 31, 2023 live via adobo Magazine’s Facebook from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
