The Contactless Guest Experience Has Arrived—Let's Get Started!

by Filly Boot Camp

COVID-19 spawned CONTACTLESS TECH, which is at the heart of the paradigm shift that most businesses, especially those in travel and hospitality, have had to rely on to ensure their survival and limit the virus's spread. 

To deal with the complexity of requirements and compliance expectations in the new now, the Guest journey, which consisted of multiple rounds, had to be re-imagined and dynamically re-engineered.

Customer investments are occasionally required to enable this firm to ride the trend, meet with safety and customer standards, and cope with rising pricing, since technology has had to endure continuous and quick development. 

All of this has streamlined and simplified the tourist experience, with practically all previously human-centric touch-points becoming touchless.

Some may claim that this transition has robbed this once-service-oriented business of its spirit. 

Face-to-face human interaction has been one of our casualties throughout this epidemic. 

What effect will COVID have on the contactless trip as we learn to coexist with it as we emerge? 

Will contactless technology become a hybrid with a spice of humanity put in? 

The contactless payment system is here to stay.

This is why the eZee Contactless Service couldn't have arrived at a better moment.

But now is a different story.
