Thanks Doug!
We’d like to give a special thanks to Doug Rice, who so generously keeps sharing his insights with the industry. We are especially happy, because thanks to the attention from Doug and others, we have had the great pleasure of being invited as speakers at a few recent events.
Perhaps oddly enough for some – InnSpire’s CEO, Martin Chevalley has used these opportunity to speak about… his family’s summer holidays 🙂
You may have seen Martin, in total “vacay mode”! Hawaii shirt on, barefoot, standing on a paddle board, showing pictures and video clips from the trips…
After a few moments however, the audience realizes that Martin is really – much like Doug in his blogs – weaving in real life and personal travel experiences, and how the recent advances in hospitality technologies – such as mobile check-in, mobile key, in-room controls, integrated casting, mobile check-out, and much more – has made holidays in general so much easier and care-free.
Hoteliers worldwide are trying new technologies and implementing innovative techniques to try to gain a competitive advantage and impress their hotel guests. No wonder everyone is turning to digital technology to improve guest satisfaction levels and experiences.
The fierce competition in the hospitality industry makes brand loyalty almost impossible to achieve with all the options leisure and business travelers have right at their fingertips.
Smart TVs, in-room entertainment and streaming services are some of the core aspects of keeping your guests happy and turning them into returning customers. According to surveys, more U.S. households have active OTT (over-the-top) media services subscriptions than cable television.
Casting is very popular among tech-lovers, travelers and remote workers and is often preferred when you want to stream or mirror your content on a larger screen. Casting allows you to use your content-sending device’s screen for other purposes, such as making a call or sending a message. The downside is it requires cables and additional devices for pairing.
On the other hand, screen mirroring allows you to see your content on а big screen wirelessly. However, when you mirror your screen, you see the same content on both devices. Thus, you can’t use one device for other functions.
Yet, many travelers prefer screen mirroring to casting if casting gets too problematic to use in a hotel environment. Today’s article will cover everything you must know about screen mirroring.
Many people like to stream their favorite online content directly to a big screen, but casting to a hotel room TV might sometimes be difficult.If you’re using a Chromecast device and want to use it effortlessly on your next trip, read our easy guide on using Chromecast during your hotel stay.
Chromecast is a popular TV casting device offered by Google and the leading competitor of other casting devices such as Roku, Amazon Fire, etc. It is the preferred casting solution chosen by millions due to its intuitive interface and ease of use.
To use a Google Chromecast device, you need the device itself, a digital TV with an HDMI port, a device to cast from (smartphone, laptop, etc.) and a common internet connection for both devices. Additionally, you will need to have the Google Home App downloaded and installed on your smartphone.
