Confirm Reservations Without Message Blocking
Hospitality and travel companies use MyTCRPlus to navigate booking confirmation deliverability, eliminate promotional offer filtering, and maintain TCPA compliance across transactional and marketing SMS programs.

TCR applies different approval criteria to transactional reservation management versus promotional package marketing. Organizations embedding promotional language within booking confirmation workflows risk use case misclassification triggering approval delays.
π Cross-Border Consent Complexity
Multi-property hotel groups operating across international markets encounter cross-border consent complexity when U.S. TCPA requirements intersect with GDPR, CASL, and regional telecommunications regulations requiring segregated consent workflows per market.
βοΈ Booking Confirmation Filtering
Messages containing reservation numbers, check-in instructions, hotel addresses, or itinerary links trigger fraud detection designed to identify fake booking scams. Legitimate guest communications experience blocking alongside malicious traffic.

Hospitality & Travel Messaging Challenges
Booking vs. Marketing Classification Complexity
Hospitality organizations implementing SMS for reservation confirmations, check-in reminders, and promotional travel offers face classification complexity distinguishing operational booking communications from marketing content. TCR applies different approval criteria to transactional reservation management versus promotional package marketing, with carriers enforcing stricter filtering on content promoting upgrades or ancillary revenue opportunities.
Cross-Border Consent Complexity
Multi-property hotel groups and travel management companies operating across international markets encounter cross-border consent complexity when U.S. TCPA requirements intersect with GDPR, CASL, and regional telecommunications regulations. Organizations managing guest communications for properties in multiple jurisdictions face regulatory overlap requiring segregated consent workflows per market.
Booking Confirmation Deliverability Challenges
Booking confirmation messages face deliverability challenges when carrier filtering detects travel industry terminology resembling phishing patterns. Messages containing reservation numbers, check-in instructions, hotel addresses, or itinerary links trigger fraud detection designed to identify fake booking scams, increasing front desk check-in friction during high-occupancy periods.
Promotional Upgrade Classification Ambiguity
Promotional upgrade campaigns offering room enhancements, dining packages, spa services, or excursion add-ons blur transactional versus promotional classification boundaries. Messages notifying guests of available upgrades may qualify as transactional service coordination when sent to confirmed bookings, but cross into promotional territory when including pricing or booking incentives.
OTA Booking Channel Consent Gaps
Consent capture timing during reservation booking presents operational challenges when third-party travel aggregators, OTA platforms, or loyalty program systems collect guest phone numbers without transferring TCPA-compliant authorization documentation to property operators. Hotels receiving bookings through Expedia, Booking.com, or corporate travel platforms may lack documented express written consent for SMS.
Trust Score Barriers for Independent Properties
Trust score assignment for hospitality brands depends heavily on business verification depth, domain age, and online reputation signals. Smaller independent hotels, boutique properties, and emerging travel startups face trust score penalties below 50 during initial TCR registration, triggering manual carrier review processes that extend approval timelines by 10-15 business days.
