Once a guest fills out this form, his or her information is automatically populated in our system, saving valuable human resource time of your staff. Should guests elect not fill in the digital check-in form then they simply fill out the form upon arrival on property via tablet computer at the Front Desk.

Q. How will you help me generate more referral bookings?
360 has a robust Guest Database which allows you to store valuable information about your guests. With guests tags, you can segment your guests into different groups of your choosing. Guests tags are completely customizable by you. We suggest creating guest tags for nationalities, VIPs and guest preferences. 360 automatically assigns guest tags for New Guests and Returning Guests. Guest tags allow you to identify specific types of guests and adjust your communication and marketing strategies accordingly.
Through TravelX, our guest-facing reservation management app, guests can refer their friends to your hotel and send them a special offer (e-Voucher) from you. Referred guests will receive a code that they can input into their reservation when they book through your website (via Direct, our direct booking engine). This encourages guests to book directly and allows you to track which guests are referrals.
Q. How will you help me generate more direct bookings?
Direct, our booking engine, is designed to encourage guests to book directly through added benefits and special offers that are promptly displayed when a guest looks for rooms on Direct. “Added Benefits for Booking Directly” is a section that is displayed under every room type. This allows you to customize offers for guests that they would otherwise not receive if they booked through a third-party site. This section is meant to act as a compelling argument for guests to book through you, as it gives you flexibility in pricing if you have a lower listed price on a third-party. “Special Offers” are an easy way for you to upsell, by listing add-ons or packages that guests can include in their reservation.

Requests and arrival details will automatically be displayed on 360, our PMS, so that your staff is prepared for their arrival.
