Online accommodation booking has never been easier but unfortunately, neither has booking fraud. Fake listings, impersonation scams, and fraudulent payment requests continue to rise, putting both travellers and property owners at risk.
Whether you’re booking a stay or entrusting your investment to a property management company, choosing the right managing agent is critical. ITC Hospitality Group believes certain standards are non-negotiable, and they should be for any professional managing agent.
What Sets a Professional Managing Agent Apart
Secure Bookings You Can Trust
ITC Hospitality Group has 20 years of experience and an online presence via well-known Online Travel Agents (OTAs). In addition, we have an extensive network of corporate agents, which helps eliminate the risk of fraudulent reservations or payments.
We ensure:
- Transparent booking confirmations
- Verified property listings
- Secure, traceable communication
- No hidden fees or unexpected add-ons
Guests know exactly what they are booking and exactly what they will pay.
Verified Guest Check-In Process
Fraud prevention doesn’t stop at booking; it continues through arrival.
Our process includes:
- On-site Guest Relations teams to personally meet every guest
- Verification that the person checking in is the person who made the booking
- Verification that the number of guests checking in matches the number of guests booked for the accommodation
- Registration of guests with the relevant security team
- Strict control over unregistered guests
- No unauthorised add-ons or last-minute changes
We do not use drop boxes or unattended key collection. Every arrival is managed professionally and in person.
24-Hour Guest Support
A true managing agent is always accessible.
We provide:
- A 24-hour contact number
- Immediate support for any issues
- Assistance before, during, and after stays
- Compliance with Body Corporate rules and regulations
This ensures both guests and property owners are always supported.
Professionally Managed, Secure Properties

- Thorough tenant and guest vetting

Red Flags to Avoid
When choosing a managing agent or booking accommodation, be cautious of:
- Requests for upfront payments without verification
- Unattended check-ins (e.g. lockboxes without oversight)
- No guest verification process
- Hidden fees or unclear pricing
- Lack of direct, professional communication
- No visible operational or support team
If these standards aren’t in place, your property and your finances could be at risk.
Why These Standards Are Non-Negotiable
For ITC Hospitality Group, these practices are not optional; they are essential.
They protect:
- Guests from fraud
- Owners from financial loss
- Properties from misuse or damage
- Brand reputation and long-term value
If your managing agent is not offering these safeguards, it may be time to reconsider your partnership.
