With the increase in cases of time theft, data theft, and other criminal activities in the hospitality sector, the demand for security technologies including a highly reliable and accessible personal authentication and identification systems has increased. Biometrics has emerged as a suitable security and monitoring solution to meet this need as it is based on the behavioral and physiological characteristics of an individual, which is difficult to replicate. Biometrics in the hospitality sector is seen as the most accurate and reliable system because it eliminates manual inputs, identity card exchange, and time theft.

Biometrics in hospitality sector gives real-time information about workforce and visitors by providing complete and accurate visibility to their reporting and leaving time. It enables the hospitality sector to gain better insight into the employees work and time spent on work. Biometrics is being used in the hospitality sector for monitoring, identification, and access control. The adoption of biometrics in the hospitality sector is expected to increase during the forecast period due to the increased instances of security breaches such as terrorist attacks and bombings in the past two to three years in the hospitality sector.

Smart bracelets have begun to gain importance in travel and hospitality sectors. These bracelets enable the end-user to make a payment in an amusement park or to open a hotel room door, thereby eliminating the traditional ticket and key card systems. One of the most well-known example of a smart bracelet is Disneys MagicBand. This sensor-based wristband is an all-in-one device that allows the visitors to check-in at entrance, secure entry into theme and water parks, to unlock their hotel room, and to purchase food and souvenirs by touching the keypad of their smartphones.

According to the report, biometrics integrated into smart cards offer the advantage of offline authentication, which is beneficial for end-users present in remote locations without proper communication infrastructure. In addition, smart cards have the added advantage of storing many applications for multiple purposes. Hence, a smart card integrated with biometrics enables physical and logical access.

Further, the report states that fingerprints can be affected by factors such as cuts, dirt, and skin allergies. Fingerprint databases can also be hacked and genuine fingerprints replaced with duplicate latent fingerprints.
