Southern Sun has concluded a second agreement with MagiNet South Africa Inc. for a further thirteen of the group`s hotels to receive the MagiNet on-line video system, scheduled to be installed this year. Since January 1996, the MagiNet system has been installed at the Sandton Sun & Towers, Inter-Continental Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Sandton, Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Sunnyside Park, Holiday Inn Johannesburg International Airport, Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Pretoria, the Umhlanga Sands, the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Durban, the Beverley Hills Sun Intercontinental and the Cape Sun Intercontinental.
With MagiNet`s innovative system, you as the guest can have instant access to a wide variety of services using the television and remote control in your room. MagiNet allows guests to choose from the latest international movies: action, adventure, drama or comedy - available on command. Additional entertainment offerings include quality adult films (guests may disable access to adult films by using the remote control).
Which means the guest does not have to settle for a few movies shown at scheduled times. All the guest has to do is choose a title using the menu on their television screen. Then, push a button on the remote control. Seconds later the continues, movie begins! MagiNet continually monitors video playtime and replaces the least requested titles with popular releases every month so that the guests may always choose the videos that they most want to see.
What if you are not in the mood for a movie? With the push of a few buttons, you can choose from a wide range of high quality products or have the convenience of in-room hotel information or a quick reference travellers guide for instance. You can view your hotel bill at any time during your stay, and those with previous credit arrangements - including credit cards and company billing, can check out from their room. Guests will also be able to receive telephone messages on the television screen.
MagiNet is currently developing one of the first interactive shopping services, allowing guests to choose from a wide range of high quality products and have the products delivered to the hotel or to friends and family throughout the world, without leaving their rooms. Guests with limited free time will find this level of convenience extremely valuable.
These are just some of the services that are available and offered in multi-lingual "menus" and program selections. More services are already being developed for future use, such as interactive video games and central reservations.
