The hospitality industry is no longer dependent on conventional approaches to guest service and administration. One of the largest employers in the world, the sector today thrives on personalized customer service, curated experiences, and human interactions. Key technologies, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the industry and reshaping how hotels and restaurants interact with their guests. As the industry navigates this Al-driven future, a new age characterized by efficiency, innovation, and personalization is about to rise.
RISE OF AI IN HOSPITALITY
Al, with its transformative power, has altered the way visitors engage with hotels. It starts working as soon as a visitor makes a reservation, evaluating information and preferences to provide a customized stay. Moreover, AI chatbots can assist customers in making reservations, responding to enquiries, and suggesting restaurants.
AI allows hotels to automate a variety of activities, including check-in and check-out procedures. Expediting the process end-to-end limits the possibility of long queues and makes the entire experience a smooth and efficient one. The results of a survey conducted by Hotel Tech Report on 400 guests endorse this. In their annual State of Hotel Guest Technology Report 2025, it was discovered that 58 per cent of guests feel that AI has significantly improved their booking and stay experiences.
