self-check
Self check-in is one of the most useful tools to meet the needs of travelers.
Self check-in streamlines bureaucratic procedures
One of the most time-consuming tasks for any host is the process of welcoming guests. In fact, it provides for regional, municipal and national regulations, which require the completion of various bureaucratic tasks. In particular, the host, or someone on his behalf, will have to wait for his guest to personally carry out the check-in procedure. The delivery of the keys, in fact, is only the last step, but first the host will have to explain and present the structure, collect the data of the individual guests and then upload them to the State Police Web Hosting Portal. And not only that: he will have to justify and collect the tourist tax, have a possible rental contract signed, or in any case the acceptance of the conditions. In short, many practices that waste time and, therefore, money.
Recent research by Bookingsuite concluded that in Italy, it can take up to 100 minutes to check in, and that the cost to the host for each check in varies between 20 and 50 euros.
Benefits for hosts and guests
Self check-in is the tool that allows the guest to access the facility in complete autonomy by carrying out the procedures required for check-in through electronic systems available remotely.
Now that we understand what self check-in is, let's see in detail how it satisfies both parties involved:
the host gains a lot in terms of time and money, reducing the cost of a single check-in by over 90%;
the guest will not have any restrictions on the arrival time and will not have to provide their data upon arrival and money, reducing the cost of a single check-in by over 90%;
The market is witnessing a transition towards the adoption of self check-in systems that guarantee contactless check in, meeting travellers' requests, particularly in this period of pandemic. This is also confirmed by the behavior of users on booking portals, where the presence of a self check-in system appears to be one of the most used filters when searching for a property
