Abstract
A system and method for provisioning internet access to guests of a travel facility is provided. A number of access points are in electronic communication with a gateway device which is in electronic communication with a property management system (PMS) and a router. The PMS includes identifying information for guests registered with the travel facility. An API gateway and a central destination server are in electronic communication with the gateway device by way of the internet. The central destination server receives a request to connect to the internet from a personal electronic device and grants internet access if the personal electronic device is recognized as having previously been granted internet access for a duration of time and if the current time is within the duration of time.
