In a recently contributed article on Hospitality Net, I asked myself the question of why we see a slow pace of hotel groups upgrading to contemporary tech stacks. Innovative and open-architecture applications that the hospitality sector has long anticipated are now accessible, providing vast and flexible options ready to be deployed. From data analytics, digital transitions, and understanding revenue flows to business intelligence, everything is available at attractive SaaS pricing. Modern technology solutions available today have the potential to transform our industry into genuine tech and data-driven entities. Yet, the question remains: why haven t all made the shift instantly? What s holding us back?
