If you want to define the future of hospitality, you have to constantly find ways to stay ahead of trends and anticipate consumer needs. Matthew Carroll, vice president of global brand management at Marriott Hotels, discusses the company's "Live Beta" hotel concept where guests can test the newest service concepts first-hand and give feedback in real-time.
To create highly customized offers and perks, 74% of surveyed hotels/resorts are planning to implement location-based technologies within the next year.
Upgraded version of RoamingAround location based marketing platform, will enable resorts, hotels, casinos and destinations to optimize hotel operations and guest engagement.
