Hotels are continually searching for new ways of increasing financial performance and net operating income. One operational segment with considerable opportunity is communications. Now, more than ever, communications availability is impacting group sales and convention guests. For the convention market, it’s an even more significant property differentiator; and consequently, closing tool.
EventPath™ enables communications to be used as a sales driver for convention bookings while giving properties a direct revenue stream. It enables the property to efficiently serve the unique technology requirements of today’s event market – all with very limited labor involvement needed by hotel staff – if any. For participating hotels, the convention center communications rev-share provides an immediate return on investment (ROI) following an event. From a long-term business strategy, it also allows corporate clients to identify communications as a reason for repeat bookings rather than a reason not to return.
Here are just a few of the strategic advantages of integrating EventPath™ as a communications solution that enhances your guest experience with an ROI:
• Connectivity to the Convention Center (revenue share)
• Convention Services
• Data (Bandwidth)
• Voice (Phone)
• Video (Standard, IP, VOD)
• In Room Internet Access
Simply put – EventPath™ is a new business opportunity aimed at increasing bookings by offering connectivity to the convention center. We install a fiber network that connects convention center resources directly to the property. The network is completely scalable to the specific requirements of the event and access can be turned on and off with each contracted show. Aside from leveraging the connection as a guest benefit, participating hotels also receive part of the communication sales.
EventPath™ makes it easy for participating hotels. We work directly with the convention center, show organizer and exhibitors to create a custom tailored communications solution. The hotel simply taps into this network to give guests access to all the available resources. This creates a competitive advantage, allowing guests to continue in their selling and show organization efforts offsite from the main location.
