That's the gist of this new study published by the GBTA Foundation, which is based on the following principles <strong>explores the relationship between hotel chains, new technologies and <em>business travel<\/em><\/strong>. The results show that mobile applications are still essential for professionals on the move. A comfortable majority of business travellers (61%) have downloaded an application from at least one of the seven US hotel giants. In 54% of cases, the smartphone is equipped with two applications of this type.<\/p>\n<p>In the majority of cases, these mobile applications are used to enquire about the <strong>booking status<\/strong> (43%) and points accumulated under the <strong>loyalty programmes<\/strong> set up by these hotel groups (43%). Visit <strong>booking a room<\/strong> comes in third place (39%) according to this study by the GBTA foundation, which nevertheless highlights generational differences. The \"\u00a0<em>Millennials<\/em>\u00a0\"(aged 18-34) would be more likely to use the hotel's mobile app to check out the services offered in the establishment, in order to <strong>order room service<\/strong>or to contact hotel staff. Monica Sanchez, Director of Research at the GBTA Foundation, points out that \"\u00a0<em>hotels have room for manoeuvre when it comes to developing the possibilities offered by their mobile applications and promoting these functionalities<\/em>\u00a0\"to business travellers. She adds: \"\u00a0<em>In the future, hotels may invest in innovative new technologies, but they must also <strong>continue to focus on improving existing services<\/strong>especially Wi-fi, which remains crucial for business travellers<\/em>\u00a0\".<\/p>\n<p>This study by the GBTA Foundation, published on 7 September, also highlights the technological innovations most sought after by corporate customers. Above all, business travellers expect more power sockets and USB ports (35%), a relatively basic service in the final analysis, closely followed (34%) by an offer that is still fairly rare: the <strong>TV streaming services, such as Netflix<\/strong>. Clearly, recharging mobile devices is more than ever a thorny issue for travellers, who also hope to find in their rooms <strong>laptop chargers<\/strong> and for mobile phones. There is now considerable interest in integrating mobile technologies into the school's infrastructure. This is because, <strong>room opening via smartphone<\/strong> (27%), access to <strong>smart\" televisions<\/strong>because they are connected to the Internet (27%), and <em>self check-in kiosks<\/em> (24%) are now well established in the hierarchy of business travellers' expectations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51411\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51411\" style=\"width: 485px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GBTA-hotels-2016-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GBTA-hotels-2016-.jpg\" alt=\"DR GBTA\" width=\"485\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GBTA-hotels-2016-.jpg 485w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GBTA-hotels-2016--196x300-derived.jpg 196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51411\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Digital expectations of business travellers in the hotel industry, according to the GBTA Foundation<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\"Show me your smartphone and I'll tell you what kind of business traveller you are\"...
