A north Norfolk hotel says a keyless entry system funded through a visitor economy grant scheme will help it attract guests looking for more flexible check-in and check-out times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership awarded the Virginia Court Hotel in Cromer \u00a32,022 from the Visitor Economy Grant Scheme for the installation of the system, which will be more convenient and safer for guests during Covid-19.<\/p>\n

The hotel suffered heavy losses after Covid-19 forced it to close for more than three months and three members of staff were made redundant. This resulted in reduced check-in times and access to hotel rooms, and consequently fewer bookings.<\/p>\n

Now its owners hope that when the hotel reopens in March 2021, it will help attract guests outside of the peak seasons and give the business more economic resilience.<\/p>\n

Shaun Trumble, who co-owns the hotel with Martin Torrens, said: \u201cUntil now, people have had to check in and out during certain times. This keyless door lock system means we can give them the code and they can arrive whenever they want.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they are a salesperson or other worker who might be leaving London at seven in the evening and getting here late, it gives them that flexibility to arrive with their code and go to their room. Previously, we would have had to turn away that business.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of our custom is seasonal, but this allows us to get that incremental business in the shoulder months when it\u2019s quiet and try and tap into a new market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 23-bed seaside hotel in Cliff Avenue, which started life as a Gentleman\u2019s Club in 1901, will be closed over the winter and reopen in March, complete with its new check-in arrangements.<\/p>\n

Shaun said the Visitor Economy Grant was the first funding he had applied for and was full of praise for the speed at which it was dealt with by New Anglia Growth Hub, which administers the scheme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought it would involve tonnes of paperwork, but it was much easier than we anticipated, and the decision-making was really quick,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Visitor & Wider Economy Grant Schemes offer between \u00a31,000 and \u00a33,000 to businesses in the visitor economy sector\/supply chain or wider economy to help them respond to Covid-19 and implement their planned projects. These grants are offered at 100% of intervention rate and no match funding is required, but applicants must be able to purchase items upfront and claim back costs.<\/p>\n

Funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the Visitor Economy Grant scheme has so far awarded \u00a3123,787 to 46 projects, while the Wider Economy Grant Scheme has awarded \u00a3133,505 to 51 projects.<\/p>\n

New Anglia Growth Hub Adviser Glen Moore said: \u201cThe hospitality sector has been hit really badly during the Covid-19 crisis and we know important the visitor economy is to Norfolk and Suffolk. We are delighted we can offset at least a small part of the damage with these grants, which are proving to be very popular.\u201d<\/p>\n
