How will COVID 19 affect the sector?
Studies have shown that the sector will need at least eight months to recover 50% of its business activity. In addition to occupation and liquidity related problems, the sector also faces an insecurity problem due to collective psychosis regarding a potential infection, which is why hotels must adapt their facilities and processes to this new security scenario, since hotels and chains that manage conveying an effective security message to their guests will have much to gain from the challenging return awaiting the sector.

Mobile Key Problems
What are the main problems with Mobile Key?
When it comes to implementing Mobile Key technology, hotels are faced with three main problems:
1
2
Changing locks: In most cases, hotels are forced to replace all locks for new ones, in addition to ensuring that they work perfectly to avoid future problems.
Different locks: 1. In terms of hotel chains, the problem of changing locks is further aggravated as they discover that they have to deal with different lock suppliers in their various hotels, complicating deployment throughout the chain and increasing project costs.
3
Software: 1. Deployment must be accompanied by a software layer that makes deployment viable and guarantees compliance with current legislation on issuing and sending traveler's reports, ensure the collection of reservations, to avoid possible chargebacks and validate the guest's identity.
