Hotels 

In the bustling and transient world of hotels and resorts, where guests from around the globe seek relaxation and adventure, life safety is the paramount responsibility for those overseeing safety and compliance. Tasked with protecting diverse occupants across expansive properties, hotel managers must adhere to stringent regulations like Australia's Building Code fire safety standards or New Zealand's Fire and Emergency Act, ensuring seamless emergency responses amid high occupancy and 24/7 operations. As mobile technology has transformed guest experiences from bookings to check-ins, why do many hospitality emergency systems still rely on outdated methods that leave visitors vulnerable and disoriented?

Hotels and resorts face unique risks, with past incidents revealing the chaos of inadequate communication. In Australia, the 2018 fire at Sydney's Shangri-La Hotel forced the evacuation of hundreds, hampered by confusion over assembly points and guest locations in a multi-story structure. New Zealand's 2019 Taupō hotel blaze displaced guests amid volcanic activity concerns, where traditional alarms and signage failed to guide international visitors efficiently. Globally, events like the 2022 Istanbul hotel explosion underscore how language barriers and unfamiliar layouts can delay evacuations, turning serene stays into potential tragedies as staff struggle with manual headcounts and fragmented alerts.
