Improve caller experience and operational efficiency by including voice automation within your business communication system. An interactive voice response (IVR) system can answer and distribute incoming calls so your employees can better serve customers. And with a hospitality IVR solution, you can ensure customers and travelers get the right help when needed.
Travel and hospitality companies around the world are adopting advanced IVR systems to improve caller experience. An IVR for hospitality caters to the needs of businesses within these industries. With an automated voice response system in place, calls are answered and routed effectively to the right department based on the caller’s needs.
By adding pre-recorded voice messages, you can also provide service during off-hours or when agents are occupied. And the IVR can send callers who need additional assistance to the voicemail box where they can leave messages.
And with our Call Flow Designer, you can create your own call flows with custom rules and routing strategies. This means you can set up routing rules for different departments, days, hours, holidays, and locations.
Hospitality Companies That Can Benefit From IVR
Any company in the hospitality industry that relies on inbound call traffic to make sales and provide customer support can use an IVR system for efficient inbound call management. Some of these companies include:
Hotels, timeshares, resorts, lodging
Vacation rentals
Food and beverage services
Restaurants and cafes
Third-party delivery services
Nature and recreation activities
Travel agencies (including online agencies)
Tourism companies (guides and tours)
Medical, educational, and ecotourism
Attractions and exhibits
Entertainment and events
Cruises
Such an automated voice system automatically directs callers to the desired department. And in some cases, they get the assistance they need quickly without waiting to talk to an agent.
What Can You Achieve with IVR?
A well-designed hospitality IVR helps you manage and organize incoming calls. You can create ring groups and backup call routing rules to ensure calls are answered no matter where your teams are located. Route calls to different locations based on language, skill, or time preferences. And by distributing calls evenly, you can make sure your teams are not burdened.

Build Your Custom Call Flows
Call flows are IVR diagrams displaying how incoming calls will route through your business phone system. In other words, how calls are managed once they enter your phone network. Where will they go? What options will be available to callers, and what actions can they take?
With hospitality IVR, you can decide exactly what will happen to incoming calls. For instance, you can have calls coming in outside of office hours sent to remote agents. Or, you can have callers from specific locations or regions sent to your support team nearest to them. And you can add voice messages informing callers of new service updates or company information.
An IVR system allows you to personalize and brand your phone system. And, it further establishes your company as professional and well-established.
Customers who receive good customer support and care will recommend your business. And word-of-mouth marketing goes a long way in the hospitality industry. You want customers to positively review your business quality and ease of service. So, it pays to find ways to ensure that no matter where your customers interact with your business, they leave with a good experience.
