Contactless check-ins have become an essential tool for modern tourism businesses. In an industry where time, safety, and first impressions matter, giving guests the ability to register and complete waivers from their own devices is a simple yet powerful upgrade.
For adventure tourism operators, this technology does more than reduce paperwork. It creates smoother guest experiences, frees up staff time, and ensures you’re covered from a risk and compliance perspective.
Here are three key ways a contactless check-in and waiver app can transform your operations
1. Improve Safety and Build Guest Confidence
Minimize Physical Contact
Shared touchpoints like clipboards and pens can create unnecessary friction and slow things down. With contactless check-in, guests simply scan a QR code or follow a link to complete their details and sign waivers, either before arrival or on-site using their own phones. This reduces contact and keeps everyone comfortable.
Reinforce Professionalism
Promoting a digital check-in process on your website, booking platforms, or in follow-up emails shows guests that your business is modern, organized, and ready. First impressions matter, especially when people are booking high-energy activities where safety and trust are important.
Make Check-In Smoother
By removing paperwork bottlenecks at the start of the day, you reduce queues and keep everything running on schedule. This not only leads to happier guests but also gives your team more breathing room to focus on delivering a great experience rather than chasing forms.
2. Eliminate Missing or Incomplete Waivers
Send Waivers Ahead of Time
Pre-arrival communication is one of the easiest ways to reduce stress on the day. Sending digital waivers in advance by SMS or email gives guests time to review and complete the documents at their own pace. This is especially helpful for group bookings or families where multiple people need to sign.
Reduce Admin Time and Errors
Manual waivers are easy to lose or misfile, and incomplete forms can leave you exposed to legal risk. Digital waiver tools ensure that all required fields are completed correctly before submission, minimizing human error and improving compliance.
Stay Organised and Compliant
All waivers are stored securely in the cloud, so you can easily find guest records when you need them. Everything is saved, time-stamped, and backed up for your peace of mind
3. Create a More Professional, More Efficient Operation
Free Up Staff Time
Automating the check-in process means your staff can spend less time on repetitive admin and more time where they add value. They can focus on greeting guests, answering questions, and enhancing the overall experience.
Custom Branding and Messaging
Modern digital waiver platforms (like Wherewolf) let you customise the guest experience with your own branding, legal terms, and messaging. It’s a chance to reinforce your brand from the very first touchpoint.
Gather Data to Improve Marketing
With a contactless waiver system that integrates with your CRM or marketing tools, guest data doesn’t just sit idle. It helps you grow. You can follow up with guests after their tour, encourage reviews, and promote return visits.
