Hotels as a Service and more: Tech is driving the turning point
Dear Insider,
After the HITT now comes the HOT! The play on these abbreviations for the HospitalityInside Think Tank and the new Hotels Tomorrow format is pure coincidence... Our in-house event, this year in Brussels, has found a knowledge-hungry community over the years. This can also be read in Sylvie Konzack and Sarah Douag's summary of our 2nd HITT Day, the Innovation Day, which was dedicated to "emerging technologies" - AI, virtual reality and voice bots. Change is here: From tools to a new mindset. We are making this contribution FREE again today - sharing is caring!
At Hotels Tomorrow (HOT), I am one of three founders, each of whom brings different talents and contacts to the table. We, the "3 M's" (Marius, Marc, Maria) are breaking new ground with this "Europe" idea - at an unintentionally perfect time. Looking forwards and backwards: HospitalityInside is now 20 years old - on the basis of quality and its reputable network. That is also the aim of HOT. The geopolitical turbulence is even helping us. And we are happy to help the industry. That's why today I've described the background to HOT and the path to the hotels of tomorrow (see Home). There are only three weeks left until Paris, set a new course with us! The program has gained weight. www.hotelstomorrow.eu

You can choose from over 100 modular software and tools and still remain the host. "Hotels as a Service" is the new term. We are pleased to be able to present a promising model to you in detail this morning, including prices and calculation examples. ... More

Many restaurant guests are currently price sensitive. Equally many want to treat themselves consciously and are willing to pay a good price for good performance. How to best address both groups and optimize your pricing is, last but not least, a question of psychology. Tim Plasse, Managing Director at F&B Heroes, explains what the hospitality industry can learn from e-commerce.
