The Future of Resorts, Gaming and Entertainment is Closer Than You Think

The next decade will transform the resorts, gaming and entertainment industry as it increasingly blends physical and digital experiences

The digitalization catalyst

Resort and gaming operators are blending seamless digital elements into their in-person experiences to help create a hybrid future. The goal is a contextual digital journey, and it's closer than you think.

Extended periods of quarantine around the world drove huge numbers of consumers online and changed the way many industries operate. The resort and gaming industry was particularly impacted. As customers return to brick-and-mortar resorts, they are now expecting many of the digital experiences to which they’d become accustomed.

Resorts are also innovating when it comes to super-apps, wearables, augmented reality, virtual reality and other game-changing technology. Within these digital innovations, payments are likely to

play a role, enabling fast, frictionless transactions and enhancing the user experience. They are also likely to enable resorts to build new ecosystems for merchants and third-party sellers, fueling both consumer benefit and business growth and innovation.

This white paper explores how resort and gaming operators are bolstering in-person experiences with digital elements at every stage of the guest journey, from pre-engagement to arrivals and check-in to self-created loyalty-driven hospitality experiences and even gaming.

High-end wearables can elevate the guest experience

A wearable could be synched with a guest’s preferred payment method, allowing them to easily transact anywhere in the resort. Beyond its functional purpose, a wearable could also create fashion opportunities. Visitors could choose between a few design options to coordinate with their preferred style.

An end-to-end
guest journey

Resorts and gaming operators could develop advanced super-apps that create a frictionless end-to-end journey for their guests. These apps could integrate multiple different services allowing customers to customize and personalize their experience ahead of time. They also typically include embedded payments so transactions can be made simply and quickly with a swipe or a tap.

The resort super-app could be part of an enhanced arrival experience. It could be used to automatically check-in the guest and be used as a digital identifier and digital room key. Some resorts may even make high-end wearables to add an extra layer of convenience and functionality.

Living in the moment
of each experience

With a super-app or wearable that is integrated with contactless payments, guests could seamlessly transact across the entire resort. They could book and gain access to a multitude of facilities and pay for any services, drinks or food they enjoy, all while benefiting from rewards, loyalty points and personalized experiences.
