Top 10 actionable AV system trends to make you stand out
Hospitality operators strive to deliver the right atmosphere: it’s a core aim. Whether hotel lobby, bar, restaurant or club, you want your guests to feel comfortable and relaxed. You want them to want to be there, and to want to stay. And afterwards you want them to tell everyone how good it was, and to come back again.
That right atmosphere is a harmonious balance of influences: for the customer, it’s about how you are treated, what you can sense around you and how it makes you feel. Operators put heart and soul into interior design, create outstanding menus and install comfortable lighting to deliver that all-important ambiance. But there is one key element in our enjoyment of any space that is often little more than a tacked-on afterthought – and that’s the AV system. Here’re the top trends to unlock potential from your AV systems and to provide exceptional experiences for your guests.
Immersive AV systems embrace your guests with top level experiences and enhance the sense of arrival in your space. They captivate audiences by engaging multiple senses – spaces can be transformed and users can be transported into new worlds. Tip: Instead of applying low budget loudspeakers and screens, invest in a holistic and sustainable solution (high-resolution projectors and screens, advanced audio systems and innovative lighting) to deliver the right atmosphere. Interaction is the key to entering these new realms.
