Impact of optical fiber in National Tourism


At the moment, dstelecom's fiber optic network already reaches more than 130 municipalities in mainland Portugal. We are aware of the impact that this structure has on the lives of the Portuguese and, therefore, we have been expanding the number of families, industrial zones and also tourist accommodation units where we arrive, allowing them to offer better television, internet services and call your guests.

To find out about the impact of our infrastructure on the hotel sector, we spoke with João Vieira, General Manager of Água Hotels Mondim de Basto, in Mondim de Basto.

“High speed Internet is today one of the most considered points when looking for a stay. In a digital era, where teleworking is a constant and most communication is done online, a quality telecommunications service is extremely important”.

As João tells us, the “connectivity” factor can even influence the selection process in the FIT groups and reservations segment, especially for foreign customers.

“Our customers need to be “live” at any time and in any area of the hotel. Whether for telecommuting, entertainment, accessing social networks or connecting with the family, it is extremely important that they can use their technological devices efficiently. All these aspects influence the quality of the stay”.

The existence of faster telecommunications services, with better coverage and higher network quality also allowed the hotel itself to digitize some routine processes.

“Currently, the customer can quickly access information files, such as restaurant, spa and other service letters”.

On the other hand, the workers themselves also benefited from the fiber service.

“Internal non-face-to-face meetings are increasingly common, so as a business structure, a good connection is essential”.

Remember that Água Hotels Mondim de Basto is a modern hotel unit, perfectly integrated into nature. In addition to a restaurant with an offer focused on local cuisine, it offers its guests Spa services and also has a business aspect, by providing a Meeting Room. All spaces stand out for their convenience and comfort, always with an idyllic view in the background.
