BKK: At
the close of the regions premier hospitality and food event, Food and Hotel
Thailand 2012 has grown 29% in size from the previous year and has showcased
271 participants from 26 countries including 9 international pavilions. This
exciting growth mirrors Thailand’s strong tourism and hospitality industry as the
country continues to attract investment due to its rising domestic demands,
high number of tourist arrivals and strategic gateway advantages to the region
as it prepares for the emergence of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015.
Mr.
Justin Pau, General Manager, Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES) Ltd, organizer
of FHT pointed out: “Tourism is now recognized as Thailand’s most substantial
service industry with a target of 22.22 million international tourist arrivals
in 2013. He went on to add: “Thailand’s tourism, food and hospitality
industries can be strengthened by FHT because it brings new and premium
products, suppliers, technology and trends to market through its trusted trade
exhibition, conference and activity platforms.”

VDA
Asia Pacific Ltd. graciously supported a one-day hotel technology conference
organized by Pertlink Hong Kong on September 5th. This conference was well
attended, namely by hotel operators, hotel technology companies and other
technology-interested professionals. The focus was on what is wrong with Hotel
technology? This was a way to gain insight from guest driven feedback on
technology and the outlook of its direction in the hotel industry. The
experienced and well known panel members consisted of distinguished hotelier
and operators within the region.
The
consensus came to a market demand in high quality guest facing technology in the guest rooms. From an operational point of view, hoteliers are looking for unified in
room solutions that can be managed with ease and deliver services beyond what is available in the homes. Solutions such as POWERTV
ONAIR integrates the guest room television, mobile devices and
room controls into a unified working system that touches the guest with minimal maintenance
from the hotel operational staff.

Before the traditional TV within the Guest Room, this innovation enables hoteliers to engage the guest before, during and after their stay. VDA continues its innovation to provide luxury hotels, residences and commercial properties the most innovative and powerful system to date. From Room control, Movies on demand or tele-ordering, the guest can explore added value services live and direct to their room."
